I'm sure at least some of you have fond memories of the era of flared trousers and goldfish in the soles of extravagant shoes. I don't, because frankly I was lucky enough to be born late enough to avoid that travesty of humanity, but certain elements of the Age of Crimes Against Literally Everything appeal to me.
In a nutshell: flashy lights.
Whilst I may have missed widespread disco, I was fortunate enough to see the old ship explosions, smartbomb effects and torpedo effects. CCP, I know you might wish to bury the memory of Tuxford's old rhinestone-studded polyester cowboy outfits, but as a member of a generation brought up on whizz-bangs and superfluous blinky lights I feel entitled - yes, entitled - to my fill of semi-epileptic experiences in this spaceship game we so adore.
Why, CCP, have you nerfed disco? The ship explosions we have nowadays are mere puffs of smoke; smartbombs and torpedoes may as well be someone lighting a match and throwing it at the enemy. Even cynos are a bit rubbish, although are better than they used to be. Therefore, as a representative of the League of Spaceship Pilots With Too Much Time On Their Hands, I would like to formally present this thread as a petition for the reinstatement of WTFHADOUKENBOOOOOOOMs in this game.

Looks like I missed the meeting of LoSPWTMTOTH where you were made representative.
But +1. I like the "Ye Olde" explosions better. Want to have some chat in game? Need help to get into the game as a new player? Just join my channel: Crazy Dutch Guy |

You have no concept of the Fabulousness you missed out on.
Absolutely Fabulous Fabulousness.
And the Fabulous Daft Punk prove the Fabulousness still runs strong. Resistance is futile. "He has mounted his hind-legs, and blown crass vapidities through the bowel of his neck."-á - Ambrose Bierce on Oscar Wilde's Lecture in San Francisco 1882 |

I keep repeating this over and over again.
CCP ruined smartbomb effects. CCP ruined torpedo effects. CCP ruined explosions.

old torpedo effects looked dumb, at least when you were getting hit by guristas battleships and you had constant deathball explosion around you even when you weren't taking any damage. Also while guns were just making tiny little-pew-pew effects.
Then those giant non-damage-dealing explosions would follow you into warp.... so stupid.
That said, they should have been kept for smartbombs.
Also the giant blue halo of web effects was a lot better and more distinctive than the current effect.
Finally, local sensor boosters and ECCM effects just don't make sense at all, especially in the context of an entire fleet having the same effect. Fighting is Magic |

I for one loved the old torpedo explosions. When a large group of bombers were torping down a battleship, everyone on grid ******* knew it!
Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings? |

There's also a bone to be picked with capital and supercapital explosions. Why do they not look like a 2km/12km bomb has just gone off, like what actually happens when the power core goes critical? Dodixie > Hek |
