These lights cause an epilepsy. I want to remove it.
Maybe good old option "Load station environment" to make background flat.

I'm really not sure which lights you're talking about here. Are you referring to something inside the station? Outside?

Would it be possible for you to take a screenshot or something and indicate what you're talking about here?

1 Hz is not known for causing epilepsy. They are not strobing, nor highly intense.
Though yes a station environment would be nice, but code changes removed that as an option because of the huge additional support it would need

I'm convinced the entire purpose of all the in-station cacophony of visual noise is to push people to move into citadels, where you can get an outside view, and we don't have to look at it. My counter feature request would be to allow outside view in normal stations.

If you suffer from epilepsy, you shouldn't be playing videogames,

Those lights are not strobing anywhere near the required angstroms or frequency to cause an epileptic fit.

Good troll post, though.

You don't remember every game box you bought havin EPILEPSY WARNING all over the back? I can practically see the warning on the back of my Divine Divinity case from here.

... except not every game has that because not every game triggers epilepsy. Hell some games even have options to turn off effects and disable scenes that are risky

That's remarkably progressive, sounds like they're inherently a risk though

No more so than television should I also stop watching TV? The meds now are also rather effective for most ppl I haven't had an episode in almost five years

Minmatar stations have these lights brighter than other stations.
I think it can be a little annoying
