How about a tiny particle effect that starts building around your ships engines when you kick on your warp drive and are getting up to speed, with a tiny poof of either particles or just a tiny shock wave when they take off. Nothing large as it would get annoying outside of stations with dozens of flashes going off, but something small.
Or perhaps a small animation of something forming in front of the ship indicating the warp bubble forming. Just a thought :)

if you can see on your own ship that good idea if you see it on your opponates ship you will get alot of hate from this in pvp this can caus alot of gripe

but if ou see your own shp power up for take off that be cool factor but think long and hard if you want that in pvp

Valid point, id not want this to be game altering, just something snazzy for you to look at. Have it be shown to you only, and it can be turned off similar to how turret effects can be.

It already sort of is in PvP. If you try to "look at" their ship and it doesn't work, they are trying to warp.

But having something official and non-hackish like this is a good idea.

Could be a towned-down version of the jump-drive effect
