Ah! At long last someone proclaims themselves against.

Why? just because of simple habit?

Just tested this today :Screenshot from 2020-06-08 16-07-35.png

This still hasn't been changed.

If everyone is for why not put it in the game?

Official reply of yeah, that's way better and makes far more sense than the old one.

I never really paid attention to the Quantum Gateway icon so I'm perfectly fine with the change. It'll take time to adjust but that should not make a difference. The black icon represents an ACU? I like the design but maybe work out an icon that doesn't touch the border. That'll make it clearer in the game I think.

nah we're not keeping that apparently. @Exotic_Retard said it'll be the transport inner thing

i wouldnt put the man there, but to me changing the type from structure to factory and leaving the transport role the same sounds good to me.

the thing with strategic icons is that people are used to what they are, so any change initially leads to some dislike but you get used to it over time (i promise!)

so overall i dont mind either way, i think i might put it in my retarded strategic icons mod when i get back from my break )

sounds good to me !
this is the suggestion for people joining the thread here needing context :

every caster i know and most every player I know calls it and treats it likes a factory. which why not. it behaves like a factory in every way :
mass and E consumption over time
rally points
unit queue
can assist to mimic others of it's own kind
can be assisted to go faster
why am i even making a list there's literally no difference to be found except for lore

maybe for clarity's sake and new people learning the game we should change the icon to a rectangle.

something like this maybe

sorry about the necro but could this be debated please?

It's not that I am hellbent on having this it's that noone is against thus far.

isn't it weird that it's a square and not a rectangle?? (even the transport symbol is a slightly weird choice)

well we can think of it as a teleportation building. And we need to agree about teleportation being a way of transport.
