Why do we need a purple bubble around our ship, CCP?
It shouldn't take rocket science to know that a Raven is freaking shield tanking, why does it need to be obscured by this hideous effect. There is no tactical information given to you with this effect, everyone knows which ships are shield hardening and armor hardening, and either way it doesn't matter really. All this effect does is turn your rather cool looking ship into a purple ball of light which is lame looking.
Quite frankly, I like the effects in EVE, they are very cool. Some offer valuable tactical value, like nosferatu and neutralizers, and warp disruptors and webifiers.. Unfortunately every time I log into EVE, I HAVE to turn the effects off. Why? Because the shield hardener effect is uglier than sin and obscures my ship and makes it look like I am flying a huge fuzzy retarded purple bubble, I hate hate hate hate it.
In fact MOST players HATE this effect CCP.
This effect is not popular, in fact if you ACTUALLY LIKE this effect, post here and tell me why you love it, I am willing to be no one will stand up for leaving the effect ingame.
My guess is 99.99999999999% of EVE players seriously hate the shield hardener effect and would love to see it removed.
So why not remove it? Armor tankers don't have an effect, why should shield tankers?
My suggestion is either completely remove the shield effect or at least make it a bit more tasteful, such as the lil shield effect around minmatar sentry guns, I find that effect pretty nice and something I could live with.. (the lil blue wispy shield effect).

/agree.
If you don't remove it, at least make it (very) more discret.

Agreed tbh, either make it look very cool, or take it off completely.

Just checked it out, and it's sooo much more tasteful than the shield hardener abomination of an effect..

NEVER. I love this effect and I will cancel all my accounts if CCP will remove it. :-)
To be serious: I really like this effect and please DO NOT remove it. It helps you to find when your enemy lost all of his cap too. And reminds me I forgot to turn on hardeners sometimes.

I agree.
At least make it less bright so you can see your bloody ship

I love the effect. Nothing I like better then a shield tanking Caracaal hull.

I don't like the big purple bubble either. Something a little less "intrusive" would be nice.

Hmm, I just get a nicely transparent purple hue effect thats all shimmery. Looks good here at least. Why not just an *option* to turn it off. In fact can we have more options in general to customise the look/performance? Being able to adjust the LOD threshold would be a nice start.

THe effect no longer graphically stacks on sisi, so you dont get a big glowing ball of light when you use 3 or more. Its good how it is now.

a) Shield Hardeners don't stack visually any more
b) The artist and I checked in a tweak that makes them a little less intense.

One question about the shield effect, does it now actually go arround your whole ship?? that was what i really did not like about it, it doesn't sourround some whole ships and really lookes stupid when it doesn't

Hardeners are good but make them so that when they are on they overlap the entire ship so it doesnt look like parts of the ship are outside the shield mmkay ?

We tweaked that already, you'll just have to wait for the next build that has it.

What i would realy like is to see the same effects on shield hardning look transparent like what happens with Kevin Bacon in Hollowman. A flowing transparency over the ship, possible today with a shader of some sort!

One other thing I noticed last night. I was using a heavy nos and there was no effect showing up for it. Should I try clearing my cache or is it being tweaked right now and has been turned off as a result?

I don't think this game supports shaders like that, maybe after they overhaul the engine or whatever.

Any chance of changing the color from pink/purple to something a bit more tasteful, like blue or something?

"you dont like it, keep your effects off or live with it..."
You can't turn the effects off anymore on SiSi, and think it hasn't been decided yet if this ability is actually going to be re-enabled ;s
re: the shield effect, looks like changes are in now, it'd much more transparent and the hard edge around the shield 'egg' is gone... it seems quite different and takes a while to get used to, but not bad at all ;P
on the other hand the sensor booster effect seems still too intense, imo ^^;; doubling the current transparency would likely about fix it.

Well, i don't really mind the colour tbh (it seems more violet than pink to me) ... it'd be cool if the colour actually depended on the type of hardener(s) running, but that's likely too much to ask for ^^;;;

You know that shield effect on the Minmatar sentry guns? That's what I want for the shield hardener effect, blue and wispy, it's way cooler than the current one. :)

can barely see it now i think a light ring around the ship wouldnt be so bad, just as long as the ship is somewhat visible.
