I know a lot of people complained about them, but is it possible to get them added back via a checkbox or something in the warning configuration area?

For myself, sometimes I don't hear the warnings if I've got other things going on (music) or the warnings are diminished in value when an external source is playing the warning sounds in order to troll people (Eve-Radio comes to mind). If my attention is on what (or who) I'm trying to kill rather than watching my armor/shield/hull/cap closely, a visual alert can be extremely helpful in those kinds of situations. Other people may also have this same kind of situation, and still others play with the sounds turned off altogether.

Configuration needn't be complicated or difficult. Use the existing configuration panel, and simply add a checkbox to turn the graphical warnings on or off. The existing checkbox can be used for the audio warnings, allowing you to have a choice of audio warning, visual warning, none or both and what % you want them to show at. If true fanciness is desired, give the visual warnings their own % slider so that you can hear a warning at one % and then see one at a different %. For example, hearing the hull alarm at 85% is good. It lets me know that I should consider getting out. When the hull drops to 45% though, it's absolutely time to leave and "Structure Critical" on the screen would simply make that point more strongly.

Either way, we were told "highly configurable" and then the warnings turned out to be less configurable than we had hoped and so they were removed entirely. This kind of idea should, I think, allow the degree of customization required for them to go back in.

While that could work as well, the main complaint seemed to be that they weren't as configurable as had been hoped and that some people didn't want to see them at all in the first place.

It's cool, no need to remove it

Well, I'd like to have them too, but in a more configurable state than they were. It was very disappointing to see the display couldn't be moved around like the other message boxes are, and that needed fixing.

But otherwise, I'm in favour of their reintroduction

wait..... are you telling me that they actually reverted something due to customer feed back? this is unheard of..

I believe it's not the case, because this feature was cool to most players, i hope they bring it back, maybe some polishing that's why they remove it for now

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

I see, interesting.

Is there any possibility that they may be re-introduced with better quality later, perhaps in a point release? Maybe 1.2 or (if it gets to that) 1.3?

Honestly, I'd even settle for the Winter Expansion.

That is extremely disappointing to hear. I sincerely hope you can make time to add them back in.

Thank god they removed them. I'm not apposed to them being re-introduced as long as it's optional and that option isn't tied to audio alerts.

I can't imagine how little dying you people do who want them back.

Pod ejection transition no longer triggering when ejecting using right clic menu. I hope this isn't intended.
