I am posting cross subject from this thread.
Can we turn off the jump animation

I have a suggestion to ease up the problems/frustrations people have with the new jump animation.

When the camera pulls you around to gate, there is a small amount of time when the gate fires up.
Would it be possible (in theory) to be able to code it so you are able to manually scroll out the camera view.
This would leave a much smaller event horizon as you jump.
Of course I know at the moment the animation is fixed camera and in theory if you zoomed out of the wormhole effect no animation exists yet (but you could just do a dumbed down not so whirly and shiny screen edge for tards like myself that have bad eyes.

On landing in new system the camera remains zoomed out and the player just manually scrolls to whatever.

It`s the same animation but you can scroll out to reduce the event horizon, hence avoiding the effect.

People could just hit a checkbox in the options to unlock the camera.
