QOL request Beacon of Kahless

Please Dev's allow us to either turn off the beacon of kahless visuals or only have them display for the Player activating that console. I can't speak for others but for me I find it an annoying visual that blinds the screen in a white flash and is disruptive.

Thank you

Hello rubber banding my old friend, time to bounce around the battlezone again, where are all my bug reports going?, out of love with this game I am falling, As Cryptic fail to acknowledge a problem exists, Shakes an angry fist, And from Support all I'm hearing are the sounds of silence.

    The full-screen blind is a stupid effect that should be removed completely.

    Honestly I feel they have done some annoying things for DIS themed gear, but this is definitely one of them.

    I thought they would have learned after the Farn system patrol.

    It's fine. Just hit the spacebar repeatedly after being blinded.

    I just wish it wasn't so bright myself. That's one effect I admit I wish had stayed with the show, or didn't last as long. If I'm playing late at night that hurts my eyes when someone pops that thing.

    I have it but never activate it myself except accidently. I have enough going on with two wings of Tactical Flyers with FAW1 as it is.

    In the show it was a large structure that was used once.

    And if it's used by every ship, in every battle, every 5 minutes like in the game, then blinding the screen every time will become a stupid effect in the show as well.

    So say we all, but the cooldown should be generations then not 3 minutes.

    How does it being a part of the show make it a good thing though? Anything which is generally disruptive to other players should be either left out or reduced to reasonable levels.

    You know what goes through my head whenever the beacon is lit?
