Yep, this is intended to replace the loading bars. Runs during the time taken for the client and server to resynchronise in the new system.
We also did a LOT of optimisation on how the client unloads and reloads assets on jumping. So not only is it pretty, it's less load :) CCP Sisyphus | Team PE | Team Klang | @CCP_Sisyphus |

It will most likely not stutter more. The loading bar is just hidden behind the graphics and it will seemingly be a shorter transition than with the loading bar. Bj++rn Jacobsen | Audio Designer | EVE Online, CCP Games | Anything sound related, ask away. |

Thanks. All the work you have seen so far is work in progress, but it will be darker and "heavier" than previous jumpgates, though the actual jumpgate sound will be the same. Still tweaking on this. Bj++rn Jacobsen | Audio Designer | EVE Online, CCP Games | Anything sound related, ask away. |

that would mean it would crash anyway with the old jump effect. Bj++rn Jacobsen | Audio Designer | EVE Online, CCP Games | Anything sound related, ask away. |

How's that being animated - black screen and crash to desktop ;)
that's taken care of, don't worry. ;) Bj++rn Jacobsen | Audio Designer | EVE Online, CCP Games | Anything sound related, ask away. |

what you are saying is that we should disable jumping at all? Bj++rn Jacobsen | Audio Designer | EVE Online, CCP Games | Anything sound related, ask away. |

Wanted to clarify a few things.
We are working on hooking this effect up to jump bridges, cynos etc. so they should have the same/very similar effect. Wormholes will get their own effect as this effect doesn't fit for them.
A very quick exit animation is played as soon as the target system is loaded, most of the effect is played before you would previously get any fade to black and loading bars which may make it seem like the transition takes longer than before, but I assure you that's not the case. We realize that slowing down the jump transition is a big no-no.
The basic mechanics of jumping haven't changed so you will be just as safe/unsafe in your travels as before.
