Plasma Accelerator Animation

Is the plasma accelerator animation on PC smaller than that of the PS4 animation?

Size matters?

In Horizons it's heavily dependent on lens flare/FX settings.

In Odyssey it's not tied to these settings, but is generally much less visible.

Ahhh...

I've been mainly a console player for the past few years. I forget PCs have massive visual options

If you fired your plasmas in Horizons, they would look like the PS4 version (maybe even more impressive!)
It seems that the lighting changes in Odyssey has reduced these magnificent plasma balls to mere dots, maybe in the future their grandeur will return, but for now, it is like shooting peas... At least until they hit!

The brighter the better

Seems to be some kind of a really bad image postprocessing step in Odyssey.
Like a bad 16 to 8 bpp conversion of an astrophoto (bright parts oversaturated, dim parts lost).

Oh most of my ships have focused plasmas and their crap little green balls. Go fast though!
Fdev need to repimp the animations for sure.
