Community Feedback: hyperspace jump flash

Guys... I don't thing you understood the question. It was a trick question. And you both failed miserably. Of course players should have the option not to have their screen flooded with white pixels every time they arrive in a new system. This is a new visual effect. And it should not be imposed on anyone.

I mean, what was the idea exactly? To have the player blinded after they complete a jump? Was the idea to incapacitate the player somehow? If that was the case, then the ship should be frozen in place for a certain amount of time.

Was this effect supposed to alert other players that someone just arrived in the system? There are better, less intrusive ways of accomplishing this. This new visual effect is like imposing the Bloom Effect on everyone.

I don't know how else to explain it. But, to use an... erotic analogy, just because you like something being done to you ‒ I'm not judging ‒ doesn't give you the right to force that on anyone.

Also, what do you mean you oppose... people having a setting to disable some new visual effect they don't want on their screen? That's like opposing people having a power off button on their monitor.
