o7 folks.

Would be awesome if someone had an idea about this :) (fingers crossed)

Is there a way to turn off the animations that appear above the structures that you place down.

Does get a little annoying when your dealing with setups which are very close together and routing everything.

Kind of a shame you cannot rotate the camera. I know it's being picky but hey... why not :)

Thanks for any responses

They are a pain because a well designed colony has buildings clustered together to keep links short. You can adjust your viewpoint to get the holograms out of the way - part of the "grind" for now.

CCP has significantly increased demand for PI with the new structures, it would be nice if they could set aside a bit of developer time for some quality of life improvements for those of us who harvest it.

My biggest frustration is the Extraction area size slider - it either needs a player selectable default or click stops at reasonable intervals!

I am guessing that part of the reason for the frustration is to inhibit automation/macro use. Making the player dance around the holograms is a nuisance for us, but a nightmare for basic automation software to work around.
