Please add Video Option to disable Bloom

Normally, I would be on board with such an option, and I do sympathize, but that bloom is integral to balance and the ability to spot, or not spot, other ships and crews.

@galactic-geek If you provide everyone with the option to have/not have bloom is that still not balanced?

Everybody had access to the double-gun exploit, but it was still woefully unbalanced. 😉

Because skill and flicking an option are totally the same...

The DGE was an exploit that broke balance by making all of personal combat one-sided - using the sword became a detriment. It had nothing to do with skill.

Flicking an option to disable bloom ruins balance because not everybody may use it or want to use it, and some may not even realize that it was added in this hypothetical scenario. You may disable Bloom, but they don't have issue with the default setting and enjoy the immersion it provides, but now you can clearly see them coming on the horizon, but they can't see you. How exactly is that fair? Answer - it's not. It's 1 thing to be paying attention or not, but to be able to see something that they cannot in the exact same scenario sans setting makes the setting inherently a broken setting. Settings like that are fine in single-player or offline games, but it doesn't really work in online shared worlds.
