Thank you for reporting this and for providing screenshots as reference. The excessive bloom and visual effects on the MK I, MK II, MK III, and Y8 mining guns are definitely a concern, especially if they’re causing eye strain or headaches during use. Visual clarity and player comfort are important.

We’ll pass this along to development so they can take a look at the effects and see what adjustments can be made. If you’re able to share the video externally at some point, that may also be helpful for review.

The "flash effect issue" in SWG isn't a single, simple bug but a legacy problem from game changes (NGE) that affected mining ships, particularly the Y-8. Your best bet is to find solutions specific to the private server you're playing on, as they often contain fixes for these persistent graphical/functional glitches.

I did change the settings , just when using this ship part. I was hoping for a diff soulution but this works

I think this can be adjusted in your graphic settings in game, if I'm not mistaken. I don't see it that bad, but my eyes are not what they use to be. But if a prob should be adjusted.
