Hazy ship interiors

edited September 2011 in Klingon Discussion
When you go into any Klingon ships you get the hazy look, its difficult to really enjoy the crew deck or anything like on a federation ship. I understand they are like that in the shows but is there a way to turn off the hazy visual effect in Klingon ships or will that just have to stay and torment me when i go to my bridge? I would love to be able to see more than a few feet in front of me when im walking down my own ships hallways. (i apologize if there is a more apropriate thread relating to this issue but i couldn't find one)

    You're Klingon. Your eyesight's supposed to be better than those weak humans'. :rolleyes: Seriously, though...maybe it's an effort to keep you on your toes while you walk around your ship? *shrug* Dunno.

    As a warrior your senses need to be as acute as possible, by always working in a hazy cluttered environment you are more prepared to navigate the hazards of a battlefield engulfed in the flames and smoke burning debris and the flash of high explosives and disruptor bolts. To even think of such a comfort as being able to see clearly, if you want those kinds of fluffy luxuries join the federation and get a soft bed and carpet while your at it!

    The interios are suppose to be hot and hazy. It is a Klingon ship not a federation luxury cruiser. It is bad enough they put a mattress on the bed complete with blanket and fluffy pillow. :rolleyes:

    is there a way to turn off the haze? i would like to enjoy my ship, and since a Klingons sight and senses are more acute then why am i not seeing through my characters eyes where the haze wouldnt be so bad? instead of being stuck over the shoulder with my human eyes. can someone give me a real answer?

    Try to lower the gloom option in the graphics, that worked for me for a similar problem.

    They should add Orion, Nausicaan and Gorn bridge packs. The current bridges simply don't fit the other species' ships.

    True story.

    I'll have to give this a shot when I get home as well. It makes it fairly unpleasant to actually use the bridge set :/

    Who says Klingons like it hot? The Klingon home world is cool ad humid. Thats canon, soft canon anyway.. Go read "The Final Reflection" by J.M. Ford.. the fellow that invented the Kligon language.. Klingons prefer cool and humid. I would prefer a lack of mistiness in Klingon warships myself. Stupid movie mood lighting.. and its also a great way to hide the detail on a cheap set...

    From MemAlpha: "On average, Klingons were larger and physically stronger than Humans, though they possessed a much lower tolerance for cold weather." (VOY: Displaced; DS9: Change of Heart)

    Also kinda fits to Qo'noS itself which is often described in combination with lava and volcanoes. Klingons also seem to like their camp fires. ;)

    I for myself like the haziness of the bridges, at least how it is displayed on my computer. Depending on one's hardware and settings, I could imagine it's too much for some, though, so it's cool that the gloom setting seems to work there.
    Of course, I'd very much approve for Gorn, Orion and Nausicaan bridge packs, too.

    Which begs to ask the question. Have we ever actually seen an Orion bridge?

    Wellll, there was that ENT episode ...

    We didn't get a good look at the actual bridge (aside from that short comm sequence), but we've seen enough of the interiors to gauge the general style, I think. The same approach the devs have taken for the Cardassian cruiser in the Devidian Featured Episodes.

    Ford did not invent the Klingon language, Okrand did.

    it's also canon that Klingons have a low tolerance for cold, clearly overriding "The Final Reflection" in that regard.

    I find it ironic that someone posting in dark red on a black background is complaining about it being hard to see in the interior of his ship.

    It's the difficulty in seeing those colors that tests the mettle of a true warrior...lol :D

    Some of the other bridges that you purchase off the C-Store are not as hazy.

    -The 3rd bridge in the "Cruiser Bridges" set includes a version that is lighter and is not as hazy
    -The "Negh'Var Bridges" set are mostly low haze, and good lighting. But the 2nd and 3rd bridges seems to have the least haze and best lighting. So far it's the ones I've been using the most.
    -The "Carrier Bridges" set are hazy, but the 2nd bridge in that set has the least haze (comparable to the 1st bridge option in the Negh'Var Bridge set).

    The raptor and bop bridges have the most haze and the harshest lighting. Also most of the bridges that are detailed in red seem to have a pretty harsh haze.

    Most of the packs are just variants of the standard version that comes with the ship to begin with... I see nothing there that warrants it to be sold as a c-store item..... the c-store variants look like the variants in-game for EC..... I want targs, and gunners getting vaporized if I am paying money for my KDF bridges...lol :D

    I like the haze look. it makes it look more like a KDF ship but there is too much of it.

    ok guys i finally figured out how to fix the haze look, its only really bad with lower video quality, for those of us who cannot play the game without lag on anything other than the lowest quality with half resolution you need to go into your video options, check the advanced options box, and bring the world detail distance up to at least 38%.

    this removes the lessens the blinding haze and lets you leep the klingon feel that you want in the game by making it only a little dusty. I thank all of you that legitimately tried to help but as for the others, go to your ship and drop your video quality to the lowest possible. thats what i was talking about.
