The "shell move" points where it moves to the outer shell and then back in for each "island" on a layer can be made invisible if you print real slow like 20mm/sec and keep your non-extruding moves fast - like 200mm/sec.
If you don't have patience for a beautiful print, there's no way right now to keep them in one spot but earlier versions of Cura I believe keep them all in the back left area and you can rotate your part so that area is on an unimportant section of your part.
Starting cura 13.05 has the new slicer (much faster). The moving "retraction points" is quite recent. Try version 13.12 it's well after the UM2 came out so it will have ultigcode but I think it's older than the "moving retraction points". All of these versions work quite well and bugs tend to be pretty minor - I mean tens of thousands of beautiful, successful prints were made with all of these "old" versions (but don't update your firmware!):
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
A year after the merger of Ultimaker and MakerBotQQ, we have unlocked the ability for users of our Method series printers to slice files using UltiMaker Cura. As of this release, users can find profiles for our Method and Method XL printers, as well as material profiles for ABS-R, ABS-CF, and RapidRinse. Meaning it’s now possible to use either Cura or the existing cloud-slicing software CloudPrint when printing with these printers or materials
