I gotta say the cyno and JB effects were awesome. I like how it looked like the pre-jump portal was stretching and then as it snaps your ship gets flung out all in a split second. Looked pretty sweet and i was baawww when it changed.
But seriously, can we stop bashing CCP for it? Alot of stuff went out the window with Apocrypha and the gfx engine update, some of which is just now started to filter back in. Maybe in a few patches we will have epic effects again. Who knows?
I always find that kneejerk pitchfork raising over some minor change isnt helpful and generally makes the forums a worse place to be. It also looks very noob.

Sound in general, my rapid fire ships lost half their coolness now that only like a third of the shots get through.
Old stargate sound, had some oomph to it.
Engine Trails...I do miss them...

Accel gates which sounded powerful. Now these new ones have the lovely sound of a loose fart.
Cloak sounds. I mean, the almost silent new cloak sound is very helpful and all but... no, I'm actually lying, it's garbage.
The new effect for jumping through wormholes. It's actually quite nice for jumping through wormholes but adding it to all sorts of other things was redundant and reeks of laziness.
Blue swirly things on the Prowler. Um, you're halfway there guys.. replaced them with some crappy new gold swirly things that don't look even 1/1000th as cool as the other ones.
Hybrid guns sounded AWESOME before Apocrypha, you ruined them. They now sound godawful terrible, yes you should feel bad. Slap the guy who decided that a metal slug the size of a house hitting a massive spacecraft was going to sound like a marshmallow colliding with a pillow.
edit: and just to remind you, there is still no divider between posts and sigs.

You know, this is a pretty rude thread.
I think CCP have constantly improved the game, "f'd up" and "mysteriously removed" are not the same thing.
That said, there is one thing I do actually miss
http://frst.team-freelance.com/evealphatesting/breachergoodness.jpg
when I first played EVE in 2003, one of the things that attracted me so much was the different UI, and the use of that Roman Font in the system title, I always thought it looked distinguished and elegant.
Nowadays, we're stuck with a font that many people have complained about.
C'mon CCP! let us choose our own font, or at least do some readability trials, we're not all blessed with 20/20 vision.
Edit: This screen shot is a better example of what EVE looked like back then: http://www.eveonline.com/screenshots/up.asp?col=28082003&n=01

They had a cloak/decloak that moved down the length of a ship... was awesome. It only lasted a month or so.

Sensor booster effect is total overkill these days. Preferred the old one, but even that could be made more subtle.
Oh... and missing the old wump wump wump sound from scramblers.

What's really getting to me is how they basically f*ed up the sound. Here's hoping they get around to fixing their sound engine because in it's current state it's even more of a joke than what it was when I left 2 years ago. I really don't understand how this could pass QA. The only explanation I can come up with is CCP management actually saying +Well f* it... most of em don't even know the game has sound.½
Also some of the "passive" graphical effects need to become more subtle (sensor booster...), while most active effects (scramblers) need to become more visible so that you can actually see wtf is going on during fights.

The gorram shield effect; getting rid of a cool-looking unified shield effect in favour of a silly shield-skin thing. The dumbest thing about that change is that things like the target painter, which used to look like they were coming from the shield surface, now look liek they're coming from thin air... thin space... whatever.

QFT. The worst thing about the whole thing is, that the old effect made large fleets look like crap, since you could mostly just see the stupid SB effect. CCPs response was to make a more subtle SB effect, that people seemed tolike and then took it away and made the problem worse with the new retinal burner effect. It is just plain bad overall design, since it attracts the eyes with its brightness and pulsing and it obstructs other visuals. It feels more like a distraction, than a natural part of the whole visual experience.
In CCPs defence they aren't the only developer who just implements flashy effects and forget to test how they work combined with other visuals. For example in NWN 2 your character becomes a bright ball of light after a few buffs and you have a hard time telling WTF is going on at times. At least in a single player game people can fix these issues themselves, but here we can only complain to CCP, so they don't repeat the same mistakes during the next round of effect tweaks.
Seriously CCP, test the effects in combination with other effects and with large groups of ships using them. If you have a hard time taking in anything other than the new effect spam, you might want to consider toning them down a little. You could even give some thought about what kind of effects need to be clearly seen in all situations. SB isn't one of them, but things like warp scrambling/disrupting should be.

I for one like the new effects... They are more subdued and not gaudy or campy... Space is supposed to be dark and bleak... The jump animation is perfect. Save your wondertwin effects for Robot Unicorns and old Star Trek re-runs.

I miss the green engines that the Rapier used to have. Not just the engine trails, but the actual colour of the exhaust pipes (or whatever they're called on Internet spaceships).
Also, old cyno (lightning spewing swirly thing) was superior to the tame little acne spot we have now.
And old jump effect, of course. Hotdrops have been more than a little limp since we started being farted out of swirly ripples. Having your screen flash a few dozen times as the purple cones of death spat capital pain out on your fleet is how capital ships SHOULD make an entrance.

I can't believe nobody mentioned the old energy neutralizer effect, with the little balls that flew over to the targetted ship and made a fizzing sound.
Also, old sensor booster sound effect, wab wab wab wab wab wab wab.

If you mean the pod sound, I could have sworn I heard it last time I did that newbie storyline mission. Not sure about what happens with players...

Missile trails. They looked fantastic, especially as they used to shoot out of the launcher and then swing round onto the target.
