Hi CCP.
So, I've noticed that with Vanguard (it was actually written in the patch notes but I guess I skimmed it), you can see the bracket icon of your own ship in space if you've zoomed out a bit further. It is slightly darker then other ship bracket icons around (but just barely, took me a while to find out). First few times I saw it I was completely surprised, I was thinking: "Wtf, why is this guy in space near me, and he doesn't show on overview? Did my overview get messed up?" After reloading the overview a few times I finally figured out that it's actually a bracket. And I still do the same every now and then, even now that I know what's actually up. It's just extremely annoying because you are just used to watch out for neuts and reds around you and your own ship shows as a neut bracket icon. It's especially annoying if you're camping a gate with a ceptor or dictor, I found myself trying to target or bubble myself a few times. And after talking to a few other guys about it I've found that they've been extremely annoyed about this as well.
TL;DR It's extremely annoying.
Before the bracket icon for your own ship did not show up unless you pressed the alt key (look up), which was fine by me. I don't know if this change is a bug or an unwanted 'feature' of some change you guys made to the UI, but can we please go back to how it was done previously (alt-key to show your ship bracket icon) or at least give us the option in the UI to turn it off? |

I thought it only showed up if you zoomed out far enough.
Doesn't it disappear when up close?
The UI update we deserve

It's certainly disconcerting at first, trying to figure out why there is another ship right on top of me but not on my overview :/
Could we change the color maybe?

I haven't noticed that but I am usually zoomed out a lot so I have a better view of what's going on. And to OP, I also wanted to shoot my ship just a few hours ago
An option to turn it of would definately be nice.

I support a color change or an off switch for this feature. By the same token, I'd also like to see my own character in local chat as blue or green.

A change of color or seperate icon for "my ship" would get rid of the problems OP is having.

You really don't need to zoom out that far though.
It freaks me out all the time :/ |

Apparently it is, though. Have you noticed CCP's consistent lack of "off-switch" capable features? Either it's rocket science or they're trying to say, "You're gonna wear that feature and like it, you little bastards! And don't you dare start crying and embarrass me in front of all these people. "
+1 for different color or toggle, pliss, so we stop freaking out about our own damn icon.

I'd like a new colour if possible, and would also support an on-off switch.

I thought I still had to press alt to get it to pop up, and risk accidentally zooming into things I didn't want to see. (because Windows 7 causes keys held down to sometimes act as multiple rapid keypresses)
I'd prefer to have it visible any time I am zoomed out far enough that it's hard to see the ship, or that the model unloads, but it should be a setting in the menu. In fact it probably is.

Yes please add an off switch for this!
It is irritating to see the beauty of space and combat when zoomed way out, now only to have a rather large icon DIRECTLY in the middle of your screen.
I love playing zoomed out, and this feature is hugely impacting the enjoyment of that in a negative way.
Please add an off switch! |

Until you add a toggle switch so I can turn it off could you at least make the default color of the goofy little shape black? I think it's reasonable that the 3 nerds that felt we needed this feature should have to be the ones to change it to white instead of making 600k pilots change it to black. |

Colour change so you can distinguish it from neutrals would be grand. Also it would be nice to have a distance slider so you can set the zoom level for when the icon appears, including an off position, |

I would like to see two options enabled for this (because in WH space, the icon seriously causes brief amounts of panic).
1 - ability to turn it off. and 2 - change the color or mark up the icon to make it clear it is YOUR ship. |

I really like the idea, it gives a really nice bit of positional information to help place oneself on the battlespace. May I suggest that the ship icon is something like a Blue 5 pointed star to save confusion? There is no need for it to be an appropriate ship icon, after all if we do not know what ship we are in, that is the least of our issues? |

So I did some in game testing last night. When I cloak the little piece of garbage on my screen doesn't go away.
Why doesn't it cloak when I'm cloaked? When anyone else in the game cloaks their little hoo haw goes away.
I demand equal rights for all little ship hoo haws.
(I'd prefer a toggle switch) |
