I replied to another post regarding this, but it was in a different forum. Probably should have been posted down here. The new icons are really confusing. They are different between factions, and different between levels. If you are going to change them, CAN YOU PLEASE MAKE THEM UNIFORM?

All eng team icons should be the same whether it's 1,2, or 3. They should be the same for FED as for KDF. Why are they different? ALL other skills on the tray are uniform. PLEASE CHANGE THEM BACK, or at least make them all consistent.

    I actually thought they were nice in that they were unique. I know it could be a little confusing but still I think it was good. Yay for Thomas on them. :)

    QFT.

    I don't mind updated icons but they should be the same game-wide. Considering all the things that STO needs right now, monkeying with ability icons seems a poor choice of priorities. At least make them all uniform. Seriously, how did that get past QA?

    Oh, you might want to update the skill icons at the trainer, too. Y'know, since you guys apparently don't have anything better to do.

    Having different icons for different levels makes sense. Provided the differentiation is a clear identifier that you can associated with the different rank. For example, at least one of the teams has or had a symbol with something resembling a "+" sign. Make it one "+" per rank, and keep the rest the same, and the differentiation is clear.
