Solhild wrote:Warp is initiated by a warp core (or something), a few seconds of engine trail is stretched across multiple AU in the warp tunnel behind you and wouldn't be visible but you should still see something leaving your ship - perhaps even a different effect that is unique to warp. In fact watching other ships warping off grid should show a cool effect around the departing ship rather than simply, ship speeds up and disappears.
Yeah, but this is EVE, so real-world (or even theoretical) physics don't actually apply.
We can already see our ships' thrusters burning away in warp, so to not show the trails is just inconsistent. Also, going to warp and dropping out of it would look awesome to observers if there were trails in warp. To be honest, warping is pretty much the only time when engine trails would look at all appropriate. |

Maybe i'm the only one, but imo the new warp effect is way too "heavy", i'ld like an esc-menu option to switch it off. |

I could see sun (well, everything outside the warp bubble/tunnel) distorted, yet any lens effects and overlay huds should not be. Could be a very complex issue depending on how the scene is drawn in the engine.
I'm fairly sure that it is too late to change it and no matter how it is, after the expansion ships, there will be noise about it either way. I just hope CCP has added :iterate: to their vocabulary and we get some further polising on it later.

Well technically you shouldn't see anything behind your ship anyways, since you are moving faster than light while in warp and the light from your engine trails would never be travelling fast enough to reach you... Then again its a game set in a fictional world, once you throw a device like a FTL drive into the mix talking about real world physics is kinda pointless :P.
Personally I think engine trails while in warp would be kind of "too much" in an artistic sense. I prefer the tunnels on their own, I think throwing in engine trails would just make it look to busy. |

Engine trails, cyno fields, Aura's voice... Now we can add sun distortion to the list of effects that were once a lot cooler.

Sun distortion - Looks nice Lens Flare distortion - Not good
I'd say, add some non lens effect glow/atmosphere to the sun like this image, except a little more subtle.
Sun disc + atmospheric glow get distorted while warping Lens flare remains undistorted
This would also look nice to see a subtle glow even when the sun is occlude by small objects.
Edit: this effect should become more and more noticeable the closer you get to the sun/star. AND, it'd be nice if there was a much greater difference in lens flare scale based on distance to the sun/star. When I'm at the edge of a solar system, I want it to reeeeally feel like I am reeeealy far away. |

Judging pic by pic Pic 1: Oh I'm actually inside something, can't see the starfield or the sun... Pic 2: Hey! What is that sun doing there!
It saddens me that one detail can ruin the whole picture, because now you are looking at the sun which your gut is saying shouldn't be there while the awesome exit effect is being neglected...
I'm full aware that those pics were taken 11 days ago and CCP has had time to add stuff into the final version, but has that sun been removed while inside planets? Or is that somehing we will have to wait for Crucible 1.X to adress? |

I havent seen the sun anytime I've warped though a planet.

First time in 15 years a game has given me motion sickness. The effect looks great, but it makes me queasy. |
