What does Blur do?

[Dixie]

Hey,

Can anyone please enlighten my as to what the Blur feature in the graphics options menu does?

Cheers,


P.S. Couldn't decide on where to post this question, so by all means move this post to where it belongs.

It's an effect that applies to the UI panels in your ship- should be renamed to "panel transparency blur" or something, maybe.

It's most noticeable on the starport services screen. With blur enabled you can see the background of the station through the screen. Turn it off and it's all blacked out

It's a very nice touch with immersion.

Ziggy, you get an A for effort, sugar.

Cheers,

Ziggy's reply makes perfect sense to me.

It put it's trousers on, has a cup of tea and thinks about leaving the house.

Does it feed the pigeons, sometimes the sparrows too, giving it a sense of enormous well-being?

It's an instancing mechanic -

If you are a boy, it puts you in an instance with girls who like boys and if you are a girl it puts you in an instance with boys who like girls.

I'll take that A, and apologize for needing to be a smartarse all the time.

Hey,

No need to apologize, you're an amusing smartarse.

Cheers,

Ahh.... Glad to know it only effects cockpit menus. Usually blur is a camera effect put in for reasons unknown in first person games other than showing off a feature that shouldn't be there for first person. Also generally used to hide the bad use of other graphic features which now need to be blurred out so the bad doesn't stand out.
