Interactive objects... lit by creepy candle flames?

could always get better results by simply using a tricorder scan (which oddly you always have with you).

"Commanders log, note to Starfleet Corps of Engineers, when I set my tricorder to scan for creepy cloud vampires, why does it take me to hidden caches of power cells or weird anomalies before it will even try to look for the vampire cloud?"

It's an awful looking effect which completely distorts the shape of the object it intends to highlight.

Ditch it; please. If they want to make the interaction indicator so simplistic just go with having the object slowly flash like in a host of other MMOs.

The space candle flames look atrocious.

If we had creepy wine, creepy food and a creepy server, the lighting would be kinda nice.:P

Have to agree that the new highlight graphics are over the top. There should be an option to disable it.

I concur that the new creepy candle effect is way over the top - I liked the older "flashing" better.

Me too. Or when you had to travel your mouse over the entire screen to see when it changed to 'the hand' so you knew something was activate-able.

I can see the guiding glowy being useful to newbies, but as someone who knows where all the usable terminals are by heart, I'd like an option to turn the obnoxious golden glitter off. We can switch off the icons above certain NPCs, but not the stupid-looking TRIBBLE currently dancing across my ready room desk and thru half of Earth Spacedock?? What gives?
