A feature I would like to see would be sensor effects (Sensor Booster, Tracking Computer, ECCM) toggleable like turret effects, explosions, drone models, etc. This would help improve frame rate in fleet fights and also make the game more aesthetically pleasing to those who do not enjoy seeing the effects on near every ship.

I'd love to see this get some more visibility. Am I alone in thinking this would be a good idea?

I joined EvE for epic fleet fights and awesome visuals...

i got the fleet fights


the visuals are still kinda icky, the ships look awesome, but the giant-ass lightbulb sensor effects make a fleet coming at you look more ridiculous then intimidating, also makes it harder to get a screenshot fo a fleetfight since all youll get is a bunch of balls of light from the sensor boosters.

IMO those effects should be replaced in their entirety with something a little more aesthetically pleasing, something that still signifies the ability activated, but does so in a manner that still allows the spaceship look like a SPACESHIP not a freakin wizard.

Probably about the fifth time this has been suggested in the last week. But you're right. They need to go.

New SEBO effects are way more tolerable. Didn't even notice them in a battleship fleet the other day until I looked hard. Thanks CCP.

The CSM 6 December Summit Report mentions that fixing the ass-ugly sensor effects is one of the big shiny graphics changes incoming. Woo!
