Camera shake. Mandatory and reality defying as implemented. It’s not weapons recoil. Entire world shakes.
Think of a monitor set on a vibrator.
Headache and eyestrain inducing.
For some even more sensitive — wearing lunch on lap.
Eleon added in at last moment — RC2 I believe.
Despite an avalanche of negative feedback, they have stubbornly ignored requests to remove or at least make it a client side option.

This allows more dynamic within the Universe. Especially since we implemented for the Supergates a simple “Allow” and “Deny” system, similar to the Sector …
