Its pretty amazing how much art you can cram into 32x32 icons or w/e their size is - they look pretty cool! Theres like 6ish mods that have what I take to be a placeholder icon but those are going to get unique art too, yes?

Also, you need to add 1 more hull mod to fill that final empty space at the very bottom right, haha, maybe Reflective Coating that lowers energy weapon dmg? OCD strikes again.

im pretty sure there's going to be more than 1 more hull mods to come, it's just too early in development. and im not too concerned about the repeating icons, atleast they're relevant, so some of the shield related mods has the same icon, for example.

I kinda hate them, the old look was so much cleaner to look at and use.

But maybe with time this will be faster to use, the icons should make it easier to identify something.

I think those 6(ish) ones you are talking about all pertain to flux, and the icon appears to be a tesla coilish sort of thing which I take to represent a flux coil, so they may not be placeholders.  I like the new icons as well, it's all these little sorts of things that help the player visualize the things they are adding to their ships and add to immersion.

well it's placeholder for all but one.

The tesla coil-ish thing is the placeholder. They'll all get unique icons.

[icepick37]

But will the tesla coil thing stay as one of the icons? Or will it stay as a placeholder for mods or whatever?

I would love for them to be more unified somehow.

For example: ordering them in weapons>shield>armor>hull and having similar icons with different flavour.


-Advanced Optics would be a gun with a crystal at the end.
-Advanced Turret gyros would be the same icon but with speed arrows instead.
-Armored Weapon Mounts would be the same icon but with a shield symbol.
-Integrated Point Defence AI - same a gun with a laser painter/pointer on top.
-Integrated Targetting Unit - same with an aiming circle icon.
-Expanded Missile Racks is good right now.
-Expanded Magazines should have a very similar icon as missile racks but with bullet rounds rather than missiles.
------------------------------------------------------------
-Extended shields would have two arrows at the sides pointing outwards.
-Accelerated shields would have the same icon but with speed arrows.
-Hardened Shields, same but with a shield icon.
-Omni Shield Emitter - the standart shield graphic with cycling arrows.
-Stabilized Shields - the same standart graphic with a power icon.
------------------------------------------------------------
-Heavy Armor with that shield icon.
-Reinforced Bulkheads same as Heavy Armor but with an arrow pointing upward instead of the shield icon.
------------------------------------------------------------
-Augmented Engines would have a speed arrow.
-Auxiliary Thrusters would have the same icon as Aug. Engines but with side arrows (like Ext. Shields)
-Insulated Engine Assembly would have the engine's graphic with the shield icon.
-Automated Repair unit would have a wrench icon.
-Flux Coil Adjunct should just have the Back To The Future flux coil icon with an arrow pointing upward.
-Flux Distributor with the same icon but with speed arrows pointing sideways (like Acc. Shields).
-Resistant Flux Conduits - the same Back To The Future flux coil icon with a power icon.

BASICLY the shield upgrades would have the same graphic for all of them but the mini-icon inside would change depending on which upgrade. The same goes for weapons and engines/flux coils/armor.

Really? I kinda like alphabetical order since it was easier to find what I wanted, especially now with all of the icons.

Well, they make things look lovely, and I don't have to spend 10 seconds looking for extra missiles...

[SwipertheFox]

Ohh the icons are magnificent!!!
So much easier to click on.  Cleaner look too...
