Alright so there where allot of threads how everything works and some people wanted to turn off some features like always :P But i did notice some bugs/annoyance

Scanning animation:
-The animation is like a bar that pass's around your ship i personally think it should be like a prob, scanning in all directions, there is a hole over and under your ship making it look odd...
-Also the placement, you see some planets behind it while you see other planets in front of it making me wonder why..... i think the animation should be allot more distinct when passing over close objects like planets or ships and stations making it look like if the signal is hitting the station a bit (or other close objects).
-When warping off it fades off slowly, while i think it should disapear quickly like if an errors happened, maybe freezing the animation at the same time creating the effect of it stopping in the middle of something
-While finishing the animation fades out weirdly, it looks like if it would keep going while i think the bar should just stop there.... and let the back end of the line follow it

For more feed back, id like to be able to turn it off like i can turn off the tactical overview.....

About the sings and what not i see in space with colours, its all to big, please, make them smaller and less obvious, eve is a game where info is given to you in social manners... not in blobs on the screen.
It Looks more important then anything else on the screen, why dont you do that for planets in next expansion? then we would have a cluster of things no one would ever understand. With the big circles around it to.... lols
And also why does a big text open when i mouse over it?..... i mean common... it has a delay to, you should make it like when i mouse over other texts in game, not something majestic, mainly it blocks my view.....

Jumping animation:
-Everything wrong, sorry sorry.... the "Experience is wrong". don't get me wrong its beautiful, but it miss's these things
-I would like it similar to warping, where you can take a look at different angles, you can zoom out zoom in, i don't really care how you do it but forcing camera is not eve like, eve is a tactical game, and forcing the camera fells like if i lost control, maybe put a light beam in the middle of the screen while being teleported to the jump gate and so on..
While talking about lights... the light beam effect is gone it makes me sad i loved the lights when big fleets jumped in!.... T_T and the awesome sound it made to!
Although i love the new wavy thing going on inside the gate, i was camping gates the other day and noticed it on large gates, one problem, its odd how your ship reflects in it, is this a bug?.... because i can see a double of my ship in the animation of the gate a bit like a shadow....
Non the less thanks for removing the loading bar i guess, jumping on 33 titans is gonna look a little tiny bit better now :)

Ideas for the future much?..... well going into a worm hole is like jumping but you dont need to make some kind of huge explosion of energy to make it work, going into them should look/fell similar but more wrought i think like clear skies told us :) although i think your ship should be sucked in it a little more then it is now.

Thanks for reading, and fly safe.
