Hi guys,

I've been taking some great screenshots in hope of printing a jigsaw. Unfortunately, a lot of great pictures are being ruined by the shield effect that surrounds the ship.

I'm after nice clean shots of the ships in action without this halo. Does anyone know how to turn this shield effect off.

Better yet, does anyone know how to take screen shots without any of the distractions i.e. the icon effects when you pop BOF abilities e.g. tactical team, science team etc

Cheers,

Steve

    When you take a screen shot the UI is removed by default.

    EDIT: As for the shield ring graphic, it took me a while too. BUT the answer is stupidly straight forward that I'm kicking myself.

    Simply go to the options menu.

    First option under 'Basic' is 'Enable directional shield FX'

    Then turn it off.

    Great, all sorted.

    You have any idea how to disable the graphics when the BOFs pop a space ability? I've now got the shields out of the way but I'd like to declutter it even more so I can just get a clear pic of the ship in battle.

    Cheers
