Just put a little gold "Q" in one of the upper corners of the image, where it does not affect the artwork.
Manage Quipment equipping through a secondary crew interface within the Continuum missions section, where crew are filtered for immortalized crew only and all crew start with empty slots (available as they are unlocked). No gold wash would be needed since only immortalized crew would be available in the Continuum crew quarters interface.
EDIT: If something new isn't an option, then the quick and simple fix is to just remove the gold wash/filter from the game. There was already a way for immortalized crew to be visually differentiated from other crew, so there is no need for the gold wash/filter.
1. No Gold Filter by default. If TPG really wants it, then only when the QP filter is selected in the crew quarters.
2. Identify CM-eligable crew by placing some form of icon / graphic where the "train" button is for non-immortalised crew, or next to the information buble "i"
Alternatively, any of the above suggestions would be welcome (or just some way of choosing to turn it off if you wish).
I understand the thought of having this: change can be good and you want the eligible crew to stand out. But the players who will have these types of crew (FE'ed and FF'ed legendaries) are going to be your most loyal and knowledgable players. You don't need to call it out to us, as we already know.
I will say, the one thing I am looking forward to is the dark, purple galaxy background when I eventually unlock the full four equipment slots. The images I've seen here make it look really nice. So please keep that.
There is a filter in the pull down for Continuum Missions.
I think. Let me look.
Edit #1: There is. "QP" right under "Immortalized".
Edit #2: Not even sure we need anything beyond sorting by "Immortalized", to be honest. Immortalized would be the only ones eligible, any way. I guess Maybe "QP" sorts by open QP Slots first?
Edit #3: I guess it does. My Immortals that are 50% are listed before 25%, and then the 0% progress. The QP sorting filter should be sufficient, without ruining artwork in an artwork collection game.....
At the moment, if I want to enjoy the full artwork of my immortalised cards, I'm better off going to the cryostasis vault, which is a pity.
We already are given a visual signal of when a crew becomes available for Continuum Missions and Quipments - it is when they are immortalized, which is when they get the first galactic background. There is no need to give us to visual markers (the background AND the gold filter).
Basically: restoring the visuals to what they were one month ago is fine enough by me.
(But the new galactic background for a 4/4 Quipped crew is nice. Good job on that one. That's the sort of visual I like.)
Also, heres a hot take:
Instead of screwing up the collectibility of the very thing you are selling to players (art), why not just change the background to indicate quipment status? Example, immortalized crew has the galaxy background, maybe levels 1-4 of quipment change the background color or image, but leave the artwork of the character alone
Only criticism: I don’t think of the gold filter as eye candy. Maybe eye vomit.
You do realize WHO the ONE person who "loves" it is, right?
Royal Communications Officer.
Every talks about how cocky Styles was.
No one ever acknowledges Styles is cocky because he carries a Klingon officer's swagger stick he won in hand to hand combat.....
The best option I think is to just change the background of all crew immortalized. Wouldn't take much to change the background -such as transporter room. Maybe completely or just a different colour
Immortalised crew already get a different background, that's why the gold effect is so unnecessary. If the gold effect was reserved for crew that have all 4 quipment slots unlocked that would make more sense, but they get another different background so its unnecessary there as well.
As some have suggested use a SIMPLE notation such as “Q” to indicate cards ready for the continuum. Once that is selected a “continue to quipping” could then introduce the 1-4 leveling and empty quipment build boxes.
Leave the waving, shining, bright, flashing, moving, sliding lights behind. Leave that idea behind forever. Unless it pertains to (ship battles or traveling) for instance where motion and lighting are valuable to the visual of the game. Crew quarters, item builds, gauntlet dust, daily missions….and so on, these effects add nothing but frustration, motion sickness and headaches to these areas.
Please tone it down…everywhere that is not necessary. And keep in mind different devices visualize color and lighting effects more intensely than some. I do literally wear sunglasses to play STT now, and must often stop for a visual stability break to focus on something not in motion or walk away to stop the dizziness and motion sick feeling.
This is after setting my motion control to limited and adjusting my device lighting.
