ideally the icon would face the same as the ship also giving you info on direction it is heading instead of just a static box. Think sins of solar a empire +1 |

So that's a NO (-1) from me What red crosses have to do with displaying player ships in overview? Also game already has brackets of different size for different ship types so there is no overcomplication or any increase of load on server or client of any sort (server load is completely irrelevant in this matter). Opinions are like assholes. Everybody's got one and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks. |

When they were messing with the overview and we had all those overview bugs (ugh remember them!?) As far as I recall it was just the overview that had new icons for ship classes. Don't remember why it got dropped - because they wanted to "do it properly" comes to mind... but its all hazy.
Of course, I could be tripping, but my memory is usually pretty good on this stuff.
Nope, I remember it too. I think it was right around when they were trying some new neocom stuff and drop that and the old "new" ship icons. I believe they got far enough to make separate icons (for npc's only I think) to discern between frigs/dessies and BCs/BSs. |

In this case u still have to scroll through overview because they will all have same icon since its the same hull.
And i agree i love this idea as well. Why should we be able to tell at a glance the difference between a Falcon, Blackbird & Rook? We could do with less information. Deep Scan should only tell us that it's a 'Cruiser class ship'
We have all watched space movies. Where they detect 'something at maximum range' then as it closes they slowly refine the details on what kind of ship it must be. And the last thing they find out is who is flying it, normally from a visual identification or radio hail. Instead in EVE, the second they enter the system we know who the pilot is. And the second they are in deep scan range we know their exact ship class & what name they have given it.
Where is the fuzzyness of information, where is the mystery, where is the discovery, the trepidation at not knowing exactly what is heading your way? |

The Devs are aware of the whole thing already

It's going to come, the thing they did with the SIS was to introduce the symbols so that next expansion not everyone is freaking out when they show up as they usually do when "totally unexpected" things happen in the game.
Besides that I also hold the oppinion that CCP should make a PC version for Dust 514. |
