anyone know what the green spirals that go around your ship when you fire, the ability and how to turn the animation off if possible, it looks ridiculous

I think it may be pedal to the medal

    No, its not P2tM. Think it's Superfluous Emitters from the Command Specialization.

    It's one of the Iconian Rep. space traits, the one that converts outgoing damage to heals whatever it's called. Stopped using it myself because of that (and it's ground equivalent).

    Tier 2, Energy Refrequencer.

    Well, there is only so many ways to make your ship glow with some power's 'effect'. There are sooo many now, it's probably getting hard to find new effects. ;)

    I wish they would turn that off. Its so huge and unnecessary.

    I... kind of liked the visual...

    Though, this does suggest to me that we should be able to selectively turn off animations of our own abilities, along the lines of how we can selectively disable visuals from starship components.

    this is not the space trait, i don't use it and i can see small spirals around my ships, when i enter in a tau dewa system.

    Yop, it is energy refrequencer, and the animation is realy annoying, because it is always on.

    I had it animating that same way on my ROM Pilot Ships. BUT then it quit. I don't know why. I thought I must have changed whatever was making it work. I couldn't figure out how to bring it back. I did try moving some traits for myself and my ship in an attempt to restore that animation, but I never did figure out what it was that was making that flower blossom animation.

    I kind of liked it. I don't like it that I can't restore it. I'll try again and see if what you guys have posted works.​​

    They (IMO) should offer to disable them all if you ask me.... Manually pr-skill or as a complete overlay removal.

    I mean... By now, with the lightshow going on in space, the Discoball barely isn't nessacary anymore... Just go into the average match... PvP or PvE, and you have all the disco you need.

    Actually... i'd pay a fair amount of Zen for that.
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...

    Let me put the rumors to rest: it's definitely still the C-Store (Cryptic Store) It just takes ZEN.

    I have to imagine with a little bit of thought and effort an alternative can be had. An enhanced UI would be my first suggestion.

    But I have to ask...

    Is there anyone here who actually relies on the visuals from weapons/abilities in their defense and attack? Can you even make out what is happening or going on particularly if you keep damage floaters on?

    Yeah. Sometimes. For example, when I see the tips of my weapon emitters surrounded in a segmented disk of red light, I then know that Emergency Power to Weapons just activated. Or Tactical Team.

    I put the "Power", Damage Dealing BoFF skills in my custom made key binds locked to my Keyboard's Spacebar. It's so terrifical Little Red Ridinghood knows she better hide when I'm within 10k Firing Range. Good Old Mother Goose. I sauced her. (•_•) ( •_•)>⌐■-■ (⌐■_■) B)​​

    yes next season, we need to have option to turn all this TRIBBLE off, or lower substantially, and definitely take away the borg red alert thing

    Could be worse, you could have Tactical Team to remove the Assimilate Ship and it would do squat and you'd keep seeing this flashing red light for a good moment, especially if it started to stack. It happened a few patches ago before it was fixed. Borg went from being annoying to kill (mostly because of tachyon beam) to infuriating to kill because you'd keep going into a temporary cooldown on most of your abilities if you were especially unlucky.

    But you wanna know what is REALLY annoying? "Pedal to the Metal" on a small escort like the bugship. Fireworks in your engines every two seconds in your face!

    Unfortunately we can't disable SFX. The game would be so much prettier without them. I mean, we already got those little icons to show us the buffs...
