Hey...
I was just wondering why we dont have a warp effect in EvE yet, no i'm not talking about a mid-warp effect like we have already.
I'm talking about an "Warp Drive Charge Effect", where you can see that the engine prepares to warp!.
What we got now is that the engine is turned off, and you just go *puff*, its stupid and looks bad.
Why not have a warp charge effect like in "Freelancer? Or "Nexus"?
Seriously, it wouldn't just make great eye candy, but it would actually help the tacklers pointing out players that haven't been scrambled.
Theres nothing worse than attacking a gang, and then see a player warp off with 10% armor just because you accidently clicked a wrong player. An effect will give you a visual "warning" before the player warps away.
EvE already got tons of effects, so adding an engine charging effect would not be a problem at all.
Your thoughts?
P.S: Send free ISK's!

So, like, ships that are accelerating to warp deploy disco balls from several points on the ship? That the sort of thing you're thinking?

If you go into your options menu, there's a difficulty slider. Put that all the way over to the easiest setting and you'll be fine. |

It says OH GOD MY EARS
Thusly any visual effect to go with it should say OH GOD MY EYES

An effect like Nexus would be neat. Charging up a warp tunnel then finally 'BANG' and off you go leaving a blue wake in your trail.
If I had an Alt I would probably post with it... |

This is the wrong area for this topic, but I do like the idea of a visual effect associated with activation of the warp drive. Almost all other active modules give an effect when activated to give an idea of what is going on, I think the same could go for warp drives.

According to Albert Einstein, this game should not have graphics or sound at all. It should be a MUD so that we can play while not lagging.
That is of course, assuming I translated his forumla correctly.

The existence of graphics and sound is covered in the backstory, I believe

i think it would be nice if you got something on your overview which shows if you are currently warp scramed.

Would be nice to have a stretch effect from the perspective of being behind the ship going to warp.
Seems more like Hypering rather than warping anyway.

Note that 'Warp Drive' is actually a misnomer.

You do realise that when a ship warps the ship iteslf doesn't move? Space is manipulated around the ship, pulling the space in front towards it and spitting it back out behind it. So there is no need for the propulsion engines to be doing anything.
What makes less sense here is that we need to reach 75% of max velocity to engage warp, which is odd if the ship doesn't need to move but hey maybe it's to get it out of harms way.
But yeah an effect that engulfed the whole ship would be cool, add sound effects if ya like but i haven't had sound on in EvE in about 4 months.
