Referring back to the migraine-inducing potential of the new FSS visual effects (for full info see the Bug Report here and these two discussion threads : Thread 1 Thread 2 ) I'm hopeful that a non-migrainous version of the FSS can be added to a future build (perhaps using simple twinkling stars in place of the grid 'waterfall' and pulsing signal 'ping' effects), but until then, would it be possible to add a toggle to completely disable the visual effects for the time being?
Bottom line is, with the current live build, I and my fellow migraine sufferers literally cannot use the FSS without risking a full blown migraine attack - and while disabling the visual effects would certainly make the FSS harder to use, at least we would be able to use it!
With Distant Worlds 2 leaving in January, the loss of the discovery scanner is obviously going to severely impact migraine sufferers who were planning to join this expedition (myself included) - a visual effects toggle would at least mitigate the pain and distress suffered until a more permanent solution can be implemented (such as the twinkling stars concept I mentioned above).
