Any one else think Wormholes need a graphical improvement?

[TomInTheShire]

After seeing the black holes get improved substantially due to the poorer looking previous design, I was wondering whether wormholes generated from stations would get the same?

Does anyone else think they look a bit basic, from what weve seen from the live stream??

The only thing that bothers me about them is that they form under the fleet instead of in front of them. Apart from that I think it's ok.

Need? No. Would be nice? Yes.

This. If they formed vertically in-front of the fleet, as opposed to "under" it, I would be pretty much happy with it. Also maybe if it came in different colors

Yeah it looks like a loo but I also think it could be a bit more impressive.
Like this maybe:

I wonder if they do this so you can clearly see the fleet without it being masked by the wormhole maybe? (even if the fleet is going to transit either way when it forms)

you can move the camera though.

Not me.

Yeah exactly, thats the only reason I could come up with though

 

[REDDQ]

Gellar Field much needed.

I agree. It could look better. But how it should look like I don't even. Although the warp ain't a wormhole I like the visual representation of it.

If they formed in front of fleets they'd probably be a lot harder to see from the default "top-down" camera angle.

Can someone post a picture of how they look now?

 

[Umega]

I always liked the wormhole from DS9 personaly.

Thanks, I agree there is room for improvement.

I kind of like the drain effect....feels like your going down a water slide or a toilet.....

i agree. you'd think they'd be oriented vertically rather than horizontally so that ships can fly into them

 

[TempusxX]

I am quite happy with how the wormholes are, even how the wormholes open up underneath the ships like a drain

 

[CassCD]

I think the weirdest part is that they're yellow. Why yellow of all colors?

I think they look okay. Not great, but okay.

The black holes were changed because what we had before didn't really look like black holes, real or fictional. But most wormholes in fiction look a lot like the ones we have in the game, so it shouldn't be an issue.
