EVE General Discussion

Posting to confirm I'd like to have a smoother jumping experience :)

Would look great if when you activate the gate, your ship goes invulnerable, insta-alligns and warps out of view (as if you're watching someone else warp off) then the camera quickly pans out to a zoomed map view to show you transitting systems, then zooms back in to the new system as your ship arrives.
It would provide for a seamless transition.

Except that animation was quite possibly the most annoying cut-scene in the ME games, having to wait for it to be over before you could move around the next system. You coudln't even skip through it because it doubled as a loading screen, even though the loading was over in like a second.

Whatever gets done for Eve has to take place in that 2 or 3 seconds between hitting jump and loading grid in the next system.

I do like the idea that instead of "decloaking" you just sort of appear in a blast of light out of interstellar space, lore wise you could say "it can randomly take anywhere from a few seconds to a minute to get between gates." Althoguh, it wouldn't really expain why you can see the other side of the gate before you arrive at it...nevermind.

My biggest gripe about stargates is that they should always finish the jump animation before starting another one. Right now, half the gates in high-sec never get through the sequence because someone else jumps before it finishes. I'd much rather see a continuously-cycling pulse of energy than that stupid ball in the middle for hours on end.

Edit:



No. Get a capital.

You didn't finish your sentence.

Ship exiting warp gate at max speed discharging some electricity to surrounding objects..hell yeah

Seconded.

Well, there is a sort of universal up and down on the solar system and galaxy level. Both tend to form a flat disc shape, rather than a ball shape as you would expect.

I don't think it's too far a stretch for a civilization to establish a generic up and down for allships navigational computers, if for no other reason that to simplify things when you are considering constant interactions between hundreds of thousands of ships/stations/outposts/POS's in often very close proximity.

Fourth.

SO much win if we can get something this close to Jump Gate animations... hell I'll just jump from one system to another for hours just to watch it.... or youtube it. Whichever comes first.

Diddo most of the sentiments in the thread. Making the jump animation better would be high yield.

It has to be something that can be watched 10k times can not getting annoying though. The current animation is simple and harmless enough that its pretty much ignored after a while. Make something too elaborate and after 1-2 years its just plain annoying.

yk
