We need the option of turning off or toning down the background nebulae brightness so that it doesn't interfere with the UI. Sometimes it is very difficult to see things on the overview or tell what modules are activated due to the bleed-through of the bright nebulae.
They are pretty but some of them are so bright that black space with stars would actually be preferable. In fact if I had that option I'd probably turn them off altogether. ---

I have the same problem as the OP. I have to keep swinging the camera view to see which modules are working, etc.
If Ekrid would care to share his settings with us, perhaps this wouldn't be necessary.

Edited by: XLR Eight on 05/07/2008 14:51:28 The most important graphic element are the nebulas after GUI interface size issues, and none of them has been fixed/upgraded yet. With trinity we've got nice update when the camera zoomed in, but I wonder how many of us plays with half of the screen filled with our ship...
So yes, please update the nebulas and let us enlarge the GUI size. Try to activate your overload on 1900x1200 res! It's about 3 millimeter, smaller than the cursor ffs!

Absolutely, i made a thread about this a long while back as well and back then it was still popular. This is never going to be a huge issue but it's a persistent one which should be addressed I think. The first time the new BGs were in I thought ooo pretty...but y'know they got real old REAL quick. Space just doesn't seem so lonely when everywhere you look is cluttered by pretty sparkly lights all the time. Watching sci-fi's like firefly when they're in space you really feel they're alone and that's because the only thing illuminating the ship is the sun and some lights on the ship. The awesome trippy LSD induced backgrounds are cool but they get old quick. I mean seeing a rainbow EVERY single day would just make it seem dull rather than refreshing.

Aye.
I have fond memories about the time when one could still change the backgrounds to black, or tone down the brightness by any amount*, manually, when it wasnt forbidden yet.
Black space is so much nicer, just with the stars and the brilliant light of one sun.
* E.g.: Compare: this to this. Viewing angle was roughly the same, just different zoom.

If you can't see your targets or modules then try the letterbox mode (I think they call it "widescreen" in the graphics settings) which places black bars at the top/bottom of the screen.

The color of active modules has driven me nuts since they altered the pulsing green with Revelations 1. I still need to swivel my view half the time to see the fricken icons and if they are on or off.

Edited by: Tamoko on 20/08/2008 20:48:00 I have no colour handicap, yet I have an absolutely awful time telling which of my icons are glowing green on most backgrounds. That besides, space just feels too damn bright.
It may be a bit premature asking for this right now, in light of the fact that celestials are getting revamped in the (distant?) future in accordance with the Direct X 9c upgrades, unless what I've been hearing is just hearsay. (edit: Thanks to the post above mine for an official statement.) I'll mark my support for this, but my biggest hope is that CCP reduces the "artsy shit" in the background when they redo the nebulae for Trinity gfx. |

I remember one time when a glitch caused the background skybox to vanish, leaving only the stars. To me it looked much better than any skybox I've seen, except the Eve Gate one.
So I say, let us turn off all the skyboxes except the Eve Gate wormhole, leaving only the stars behind. If you like them, you can leave them turned on. ---------------------------------------------- I support skill queues |
