-==8 Art Overhaul==
+==Art Overhaul==
+With Odyssey, the art of certain areas of the game will see some serious facelifts. Along with some love for the Apocalypse hull and the containers of mini-profession sites, CCP started a war against loading bars and outdated transition effects.

+===Stargates and Jump Effect===
 Stargates are getting a graphical overhaul, most notably a nice new "energy field" effect that spans in between the actual jump zone, and a lot more blinking lights.
+In an effort to remove the number of loading bars within the game and improve immersion, Odyssey will introduce a spectacular new jump effect. When you initiate jump, the camera will turn to a certain angle towards the stargate. You will then see an animation of flying through a "jump tunnel", on the end of which you can already see the nebula of the destination system. Data will load during this animation and after that is done, you exit the jump tunnel and the camera will seamlessly return to be controllable again.

 The undocking process is also getting rid of the loading bar. While you wait for assets to load, the undock button will progressively get slightly brighter and flash red in the end.
