I really like this spring-like one for absorbent. It may not be how it actually works, but it's much easier to differentiate at a glance. It's easy to think of 'spring' = 'absorbent'.
I've changed my mind about the engines now that I've seen them ingame. The icons aren't nearly well defined enough. They either need to be made sharper, or possibly just recolour the engine block, like the armour.
After a while of looking at it, I didn't see there a spring at first but ends of plates which are overlapping each other and have empty space between them. That would make sense too because when you shoot the armor it would get pressed deeper together and the power regured to make the armor plates go together eat's the projectiles power which is meant to go straight throug the stiff armor. But I can also see the spring there. I just see the armor icons so that the left side is the outside of the vehicle and right side is the side which is next to the hull and all shells and missiles come from the left side to hit the armor. That means the absorbant picture would look better for me when it would be on its side.
Took some time to make it look good and not totally random and messy but here it is at last. My view of absorbant armor and how I see armors. Shells or missiles or what ever would come from the left side. Edit: Maybe this is better after all. Edit II: But when I took a look to the new armor icons, I realized that this one doesn't follow the same rules as the other armors. This doesn't have 3 lines going from the up to down in the center of it. So I think this should be either redone again or scrap the whole idea to change it to something.
You view the armor frontally, just like you would look at the engine. I really don't get it how people see the armor as an interpretation of their structure.
Some people (me included) see it as a cross-section, but I don't think this should be taken too far. As long as they are good-looking and fairly differentiated, who cares if it's not true to the actual composition?

I'm bumping this because I think it's important and needs to be addressed, and moreover, I realize to my chagrin that I didn't even post in it the first time.

HOWEVER I really enjoy your new absorbent and composite armors: If these are included then only reactive and regenerative need new images. I suggest a lightning bolt across the three plates for reactive, and i have no fucking clue what you could make for regen. It's calcium carbonate.... a clam? fingernails? wtf does CaCO3 look like, anyway? I prefer the leaf symbol simply because the biohazard symbol is so cliche.
CaCO3 is essentially just the white stuff in your waterheater, it's chalk, it's stalagtites and stalamites, it's granite, ... Also, Krenzo didn't like the icons. I sent all files to him, so if you're so hard pressed to get it ingame, consult him
well that's a crying shame, they add some flare, imo. No icons, whatsoever, or just not YOUR icons because you're a bad person? also ark good point about the leaf thing. Biohazard symbol ftw.
Will they be available for download so we can put 'em in ourselves? Because I happen to fricking love these icons. Or do I not realize how hard putting those in would be...
All good, except the Bio-Desel engine icon since to be too hostile..right now it looks like bio-weapon engine or something. Maybe a green leaf or recycle sign instead of a Biology hazardous warning sign?
