Any other opinions about this?
The red might be a bit annoying, but it does indicate your shields are taking damage. The same is true for cap ships and their shields. However; once your shields are gone, the color of flash would probably depend on what weapon is causing damage. As that seems to be too much effort for the gain received, I say either leave the red flash as is, maybe toned down a little, or eliminate it when your shields are gone….nothing is flashing then, you just have parts of your ship being blasted away.
I agree with Thor and I have nothing to add at the moment.
We already changed the code for this feature. it will be toned down and flash blue instead of red as long as the shields are up. You'll see in Beta 4.
Nice effect, I must say. I find it much better this way. Only thing I noticed: The red is a bit too dark, you can hardly see it during a battle. I know that there is a thin line between visible and disturbing, but I think it should be a bit more intense to get that "Damn, my hull is hit"-Feeling.
We actually toned it down a bit because people complained it was too intense. Let's give it some time to get used to. If you still think so then we'll increase it a bit again in beta 5 ot 6.
