Hi there!

I like this game much but one thing hurts me a lot. Its a full-screen white flashes when i destroy a ship in battles.
There is a black sky and boom - all become white and then black again.

My eyes hurt a lot because of this, i have to turn my head away or cover them by a hand when an enemy ship comes to 98% hp.

Alex, can you do a switch in settings for this effect in new version?

Others plz say what do you think about this. Maybe there is a mod that can turn this effect off?

You can.  Go to the settings.json file in starsector-core /  data / config and set "enableShipExplosionWhiteout" to "false".

The GraphicsLib mod reduces the flash, and overall makes the ship death explosions look far better.

Thank you man! U saved me from epilepsy

It should honestly be off by default. Maybe back in the day it looked cool, but now every battle is 30 cruisers, so whiteouts happen every other minute.

Maybe limit them to capitals and battlestations, or just battlestations only.  Whiteout flashes are too frequent.  Consider old shumps that flash only after killing the boss at the end of a level.

Sure, you can turn it off that way, but it's hardly intuitive. There should be an option for it in-game, and should probably be off by default too, given how pretty much every destroyer triggers it.

Absolutely agree. It not just that there is no option for it in the game it is not stated anywhere that you could turn it of. And it is reeealy annoying for a lot of people. if it would be off by default i dont think many would turn it on.

Might also be a good idea to make it an option (both to have them at all and what explodes like that) a part of the in game graphic options instead of a config out of the game.
Eventually I mean.

As stated before you can also get just GraphicsLib to replace the whiteout with a different graphical effect that distorts the space around the ship radiating outward when it blows.
