I never noticed before the new Police Comet - Mac client doesn't seem to do flashy lights on any ships anymore? Tried it on a few Macs and sure enough, none of them have em.

No flashy Police Comet lights, but also no flashing navigation lights on wings/antennae/etc for any ships (you can see those in the gif as well).

What gives? Is this a Mac issue or a graphic card issue?

Processor 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB
Software OS X 10.8.5 (12F45)

I know this doesn't help you, but from a RL sailor who was in the RL Navy... warships shouldn't have flashy lights to begin with. During the night, warships go dark. I mention this bc their ship models with all of the little tiny lights all over the hull drives me nuts, LoL...

Anyway, hope you get what you want... my client is locking up at 'authenticating' so I can't even log on! Fly Safe!

but seriously does anyone on a Mac client have proper navigation lights on their ship? I know they used to be there.

Nope. You're not alone, I too used be able to see them on all the ships and even stations, now neither. From time to time, there is an odd occurrence where station lights would flare up at the same time and then fade, but no blinking.

Initially i thought this was a common problem to all but it seems, like you say, it's a Mac specific issue. My graphic settings are set to high and still nothing.

I did notice that in CCP Karkur's video here the ships light still flash as they used in the hangar:

Please CCP can this be fixed for us Mac users. Ships without their blinking lights makes them look lifeless.

Confirming that I have no blinky lights. I honestly thought they were V3'd away.

Best way to fast-track that is to file a bug report.
