Every... Single.... Jump.... I know you are proud of your new feature but is it really necessary to make my screen flash every 20 seconds during a long trip? I've only been back in game about an hour and a half and I cringe every time I see this animation. I'll give you that I thought "this is neat" to myself as I left a station for the first time ans saw it. But seriously, it sucks.... I'd much prefer to see it when called upon.

Please give me a way to turn it off or better yet, make it go away unless I decide to do a manual scan. Thanks!

This has been complained about extensively over the past couple months on the test server, don't expect it to change anytime soon.

You should have seen it BEFORE they changed it, it was bright green. Be thankful they toned the color down some and get over it.

I agree, those damn Orange Radiant stars are too bright can I have an option to turn those off? OOOhhhh nah I got one, all of these ships and people flying past me, can I get an option to turn those off too, they annoy me.

I know I'm seeing Unicorns in the jump tunnel!!! Hard to catch but they are there! #eveonline #tweetfleet

Please don't remove these! They are cool. No off switch for Jump Tunnel Unicorns. "Catch them if you dare".

I thought so too at first. In fact, I thought this was what X'ing out "show sensor overlay" on the radial menu was for. But no such luck.

First world problem (like every single issue in EVE) or not, it's really annoying and not something I want to pay to look at. Hence voicing my opinion here.

Flashing / blinking / zooming . That works well in a music video or in a presentation and it may amuse some subscribers, but the rest of us ? Please give us a way to turn it off.

You mean ships and such, but Baal is all powerful and cannot be turned down or turned off.

Mass exodus of subscription is the only language developers understand.

I don't particularly like my beautiful stars and nebula being littered with target reticules showing non-probed sites.

OP:

Don't expect for it to be changed, removed, or to have an option to turn it off. CCP doesn't like criticism of their product.

I try to think of it like this:

To them, I'm not a customer. They are absolute GODS, and can never be questioned.

I'm paying them for the privelege to play their game.

That might help get you through the motion sickness...

Okay...

1.) Create a contract to me with all your items
2.) Go to your account management page and unsub.
3.) Problem solved.

That wasn't so hard was it.

CCP Guard is now a god? Holy **** when did that happen?? GUARD!! Forgive me, I have sinned, I have forgotten to sacrifice my rifter to thee for the 10 year holy event. Please do not strike me down with QA Smartbombs >.<
