Hi there, I will take a look. Are there any other ships that you feel are particularly problematic?

Just to add some information to the discussion:
I just sat with the artist responsible and another QA and showed them the Providence in a long warp, along with several other ships. We were all happy with the effect, including the Providence. Please understand that these are personal opinions that obviously contradict your own, and may come to pass that they contradict the opinions of the community at large.
As this is the first that I have heard of someone having issue with the effect out of anyone posting in the relevant feedback thread or this forum at large, and since the feature has had QA work done on it, we have to take the stance that the feature is "Ready".
However, this does not preclude anyone from having issues with the effect and as such we always invite people to submit a bug report if their EVE experience is negatively affected by the introduction of features.
Please do not take this post as a "Case closed" statement, merely an indication of the development team's stance at the minute.

That being said I would love to see a video of how your setup is rendering the effect, in case you are seeing something completely screwy and messed up :)

That's what I've been trying to reproduce today but haven't seen it. Can I ask what hardware you run EVE on and if your graphics drivers are up to date?
Also, if you could jump on Singularity if you have a chance and see if that still occurs I would be indebted to you.

My concern would be that more intense colors from the sun in each system would render the look of the ships more muddy and indistinct, overwhelming color variations and making ship detail harder to see. It's not too much of a stretch to suggest that camera drones have exceptionally good auto-white-balance and auto-exposure, given tens of thousands of years to solve such problems. :)
Edit: Just to keep things orderly, please try to keep discussion in this thread on the topic of the warp tunnel animation and put other lighting feedback in an appropriate existing thread, or a new one if you can't locate a good place.

No problem, clearly expressed ideas and feedback like yours are most welcome. I just didn't want to drag the thread too far off the OP's topic myself. :)
