Oops didn’t realize there was this feedback thread. I posted this in General Discussions.

New hangars are TERRIBLE

First off, I can barely even see the new hangar, so that might be most of the problem right there. I may as well be in the inky blackness of space.

I read that you want there to be more lighting focus on the ship while in our hangars, but…

a) Ships are much more poorly lit now too, and

b) I don’t need to have more focus on my ship while in the hangar. I have plenty of focus on my ship EVERYWHERE else. While I do want to see my ship while in the hangar, I also want to see the world in which my character exists.

I don’t understand, let alone like, this graphical change. Unless there is a power outage, or power shortage so the lights are turned way down low, I want my hangars to be at least as well lit as they have been. This change might be good for stations which are under attack in one or more of the phases, but as the standard it’s just terrible.

Turning up the brightness is not workable. Previously it was fine when left at the default level. Now turning it up to see better, and things just get washed out and ugly. BUT… it does help explain why the hangar was made so dark. It seems the textures aren’t nearly as detailed as they’d previously been. Is this change in lighting made to hide this?

Anyhow. Hopefully I’m not the only one dissatisfied with this change for the worse, and hope CCP will change this back. Again, I don’t need sole focus on my ship while I’m in the hangar. There’s plenty of focus on my ship in game. Let me better see where I’m at when I’m NOT inside my ship. Can’t even get out any more, and now this. sigh
