Interactive objects... lit by creepy candle flames?

Whats the reason for the addition of these random beams of light? They seem to be more creepy and ominous than any attention grabbing. This seems really foreign and weird looking, I'm not sure if I'm the only person who thinks this.
I haven't done the explore mission where you have to scan the kirk "people eating gas cloud" but I bet it would look much creepier with random beams of light/candle flames.
note: Not sure if this should be placed under art of STO or another subforum, feel free to move it mods

It's the only reason I can think of.
Edit: And it looks stupid btw.
(No, I'm not a fan of the flames.)

What are we up to now? 4 or 5 changes to how interactive objects are highlighted? And they seem to be making it worse with each new attempt.
It wouldn't be so bad if we could just turn them off.
Anyone else thinking it's ugly? What happened to the nice subtle one that we had when the game launched? And the slightly less subtle one we only just had....

I'm not sure why they changed it, the previous effect was well-liked, it was that interaction (gear) icon that people hated.

if this is going to stay (and i hope it does not) can the 'flames' at least disappear as you get close, just like the cogs used to.

I don't know if the room in my Starbase with the Officer of the Day is supposed to look like The Towering Inferno or a "very special episode" of The Bachelor.
Starfleet Dental is going to love this as an excuse to run amok. >_<

You need the "fleet" fire extinguisher, available in the lobi store, for 1000 lobi crystals.
And a Fleet Fire Control Team Equipment Provision plus 3 Fire Control Team Modules from the Z-store at a mere 750z each.

It seems like at times Cryptic changes stuff simply for the sake of changing it. But as Azetbur once said, "...just because you can do a thing, does not mean you SHOULD do a thing..."
Indeed, no one was asking for this change, of all the things this game needs they focus on this? I think their priorities are in the wrong places, they certainly don't mesh with what we think are a priority.

If you're going to add this kind of thing, at least make it fit the activated item.
Per usual it was probably a very un-tested thing, and just thrown in there with bugs. Par for the course.
Of all the things the game needs, this was not one of them.

The fire replaces the gear, that's it as far as I can tell. I haven't decided if I really like the fire, but I didn't like the gear, so this is probably an improvement in my books.
Personally, I don't think either are needed - just the shimmering effect of the object itself (which is still there) was enough for me.
People did ask to get rid of the gear thing though, which they did with this change, and replaced it with something...a little less obtrusive? Maybe? It's a step anyway.
The Gear Icon was a bit too "make things obvious for noobs."
The fire is just all wrong for a scifi MMO.

That's why I pretend it is the Ferengi trying to beam the console off the station.
Stupid function given stupid explanation.

"Click on the console."
"wht consol?"
"The one with the glowing panel in the room."
"whr??"
"To the left of the doorway."
"i dnt se it."
"The one with the gear over it."
"wht gear????"
"The one covered in light and bright."
"i dnt se it. cme shw me."
"Fine... Well that explains it, you are in the wrong room. You had to leave the original room, travel half the station, take a wrong turn, and fight 50 more nemeies that you didn't need to to get to this room. What the hell."
"sry. whr consol?"
"Follow me."
"whr u go?????"
"I'm standing in the door way still."
"whr is tht?"
