Get 15 Amarr Laser toting goons on your tail and you can't see yur ship for all the Firing trails. it's a nice visual but not very good for staying alive

Press CTRL+SHIFT N

If it does nothing, then working as intended, like your posts here.

Find something broken to moan about.

Would you stop recreating the same thread 3 times ?

Pfft.

How exactly does this affect your "survival chances"???

Am I the only Eve player that is not a 'tard and zooms out to 150 KM and navigates with the help of his Tactical Overlay?

I think he's talking about the graphical misses.

I haven't done a Sansha missions since the patch, but all the lasers were hard on the eyes before, I imagine the misses didn't really do anything for it. There is no way to disable them.

I have a feeling that it may actually help IMPROVE performance and frame rate. Prior to this, every shot fired at you rendered an impact regardless of if it hit or miss. There was no visual difference between those that hit and those that didn't.

It kind of makes me wonder if the fact that it no longer has to render an impact graphic for misses, if the new effect is actually easier on the GPU.

agree that it's annoying but no big deal functionality nice.

An option to disable the effect (or just reducing the length of the beams past your ship) would be appreciated.
