That pic was not planned, it sort of happened and I was smart enough to hit PrtScr fast enough. That pic was taken back on live and has never happened again.
You can also use binds that use a 'show/don't show effects (if you use the no-show with weapons, they will not appear.)
These are especially nice for fire farmers whose entire screen is nothing but flame. It allows you to see your character with clarity.
Hide: /macro NoFX "suppressCloseFx 1"
Show: /macro FX "suppressCloseFxDist 0"
There is also a setting in the Menu options pull-down sectiion to suppress special effects up close.
I had a pretty prolific sg on bluseside named Wings over Paragon. It was created by the amazing Sayaki who could do things most base builders were unable to.
main was Healix but the sg was run by Angelikah.
I LOVE Imger, and pretty much use that exclusively for uploading pics to here. I't's easy, and you can resize/edit them in Imger before posting.

Thanks, Impish!!! (I'd LOVE to do some TFs. In the old days, my old putersaurus couldn't handle large teams so I mostly soloed. Now, with my new gaming puter I want to do them....and CAN!)
I LOVE this mission map..so beautiful
Also, Kallisti Wharf is gorgeous..and while not a popular view, I still hold a soft spot in my heart for Statesman.

This is my base, Wings Memorial Annex. (On live, my base Wings over Paragon was insanely huge and amazing-it was old school and used thousands of desks to raise floors and items.)
This one is compact and efficient and created in honor of the original. I wanted everything uncluttered and easy to access.
