I love the visuals in EVE but for the warp and gate jump effects.
Warp:
It’s understood that you are in a “warp bubble,” but it doesn’t feel like a warp bubble. It’s more like a distortion fringed warp tunnel. Taking from the micro-jump visual effect, perhaps build on that and envelop the traveling ship inside a bubble-ish space while warping?
