OFFICIAL NEWS

I must be one of the few players that likes the new icons, then. Half the problem with the new set is just getting used to the color scheme, I would suggest. I admit I had a bit of an issue for the first 1-2 hours, but then it just became the new "default" in my mind. And now at least with the increased contrast, I can easily identify items.

Now, if only we could get rid of the obligatory rectangles that govern the game windows ... even if I turn background opacity to zero, I can still make out the margins of the inventory/chat/map windows. Be nice if turning it to zero would leave "contents only" on the screen -- but that's a different topic.

As for the rest of the patch, I believe we need to wait at least some 1-2 weeks before we can make a judgment. Personally, I made my "noob money" exclusively from corporal missions, and I never felt that I was restricted in my gameplay. Shoring up the NH source of money is, therefore, not so bad.Of course, I would really like to see more *diverse* ways of making money, because repetitive missions are .. well .. repetitive.

Oh, and I appreciate that we finally got rid of that stupid aggressive warning about Universe chat. This overhaul was very long overdue. If I could make a suggestion though ... maybe stick a "Game Info: " before the description text that appears now in Uni?

I'll post again when I collect more thoughts.

The new backgrounds for the icons are more attractive, and taken individually I like them.

However, 80 or 90 Tryker jewels in my bag in compact mode does get a bit visually overwhelming.

Perhaps the brightness could be lowered just a touch?

I second the brightness being toned down a little. The new icon look isn't worse, it's just different, however, the background does feel a tad too bright and could use some tweaking.

I have made a little change lowering the saturation.

Also added a colored border to help a little in fyros, matis, tryker and zorai background.

Your opinions?

Looks nice Ulukyn ^^

Looks good! Thanks.

Now I can put away my peril sensitive sunglasses. :)

oh YES  (that's great thanks)

That is better by me, on first look. :)

Can we return to grey with common ecosystem origin items?

I still do not like the green color on PR item backgrounds.

How does goo item (corrupted) background look?

i don't know if i have mentioned this yet, but i don't like the changes to occupations and new horizons at all. Really don't like them. More than i have ever disliked anything in the game. Everything else in the patch, however, is fine

I like the change, it's more easy to read !

But, Amps and second pick seem to be Tryker, background colours are too close.
Amps is more distinguishable with the coloured border, but the pick is not.
