Shield impact reduction

sundalo · Post by **sundalo** » Mon Apr 30, 2012 5:36 pm

Is there a possibility to make a mod that can reduce it eliminate the shield impact animation from cannon/laser fire in cockpit view ? I find myself forced to use invisible cockpit view especially in pvp where those hits blind you sort of like a flash bang effect in shooter games and those critical moments you are vulnerable. In invisible view this is no issue even when you see the impacts but retain good situational awareness.

Did you try to turn off the glare/glass reflections in the Options menu?

Maars, there doesn't seem to be a glass/glare reflections under the video section at the menu.

Check the Customizing Kit ... 'though, personally, I'd only use such a mod against AI. Against another pilot, it kind'a aint fair.

I wouldn't go as far as saying its unfair but more of a hindrance especially for pvp'ers.

Well, when one pilot complains that he lost the fight 'cause he couldn't track his target ... while the target won because he had much better situation awareness ("guessing" where to look for his opponent during the blinding flash of light) ....
