Does anyone else feel that the games special effects are slightly underwhelming for a space mmo?

Here is a lower end space game called strike suit zero and here is a vid of some special effects within the game (not an mmo)

Be cool for starters to have completely different effects for armor tanking and shield tanking.

Different graphics for afterburner and MWD when activated.

actually see ships in space Shocked and not + or [ ]

etc

Effects are hard to make look awesome in a fluid universe.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

That looks like an arcade video game with tasteless candy colours.

This is EVE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRTmVr4pU8Y

EVE looks so much better the comparison isn't even fair.

That vid you posted, all I see is yellowish white lines in space. I'm sure everyone's graphic settings are set to low with brackets turned off to avoid about 3 FPS.

I do agree fleet battles with a **** load of people is cool but small gang encounters, meh ...

+1 more special effects.

Can you even get below 100 FPS unless at interval one?

If nothing else, some effects have to be toned down/reworked by a lot IMO. Torpedoes comes primarily to mind. Maybe along with the more detailed damage progression on ships this will eventually happen.

Then there's all the different module effects - sensor boosters and whatnot else.

Hardener/shield/armour/transfer/drain effects are spot on though.

I would like more special effects. Maybe a door slamming sound when a ship dies.
