Segmenting each region into visually distinguishable areas will go a long way toward making travel feel less disjointed.
Is there any additional information on when this will be implemented?

Anywhere from 2 months to 4 years. I wouldn't hold your breathe for it being soon.

given ccp's past history this is a pretty solid estimate __

CCP Hammer promised me something like this would be coming when I talked to him at FF2008à so we can probably cut that down to 2 months to 2 years. ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡à you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki |

I do hope they find other interesting backdrops and effects of different regions than just the blur nebula in the background.

something I hope is that the space landmarks you can read about on your map, like Cord of the Elements, the Konora black hole, Black Rise, and the Vapour Sea, can actually be seen and are actually objects

I think they should remove most of them (like 80% of them) all together and make space look like space. Have them in areas it makes sense to have them and the rest of space just have stars/sun. - - [SERVICE] Corp Standings For POS anchoring

Having an opinion is fine, deciding what is "right" or "wrong" isn't your job tbh. - - [SERVICE] Corp Standings For POS anchoring

You mean make space look the way space looks from earth?

Not all star systems are in disco nebulas, it's like I'm traveling in the atmosphere over a planet most of the time. I try to position my ship view to be in the black starfields so I don't feel like I'm flying through clouds.
Me personaly, I liked to feel like I'm actually in outer space, not in a bowl of milky discharge.

That was one of the highlights of the keynote to me.
The new nebulae are made by a movie post production company, and will actually move in position, and hopefully scale, as you move around the universe. That's pretty awesome.
I expect to see them in the release after captain's quarters.

If Eve were actually in space, we would need thrusters on the sides and noses of our ship for turning/deceleration. It's pretty obvious to me that our ships are actually submarines in a pool of stellar goo. Milky discharge pretty much hits it right on the nose.

The nebulae provide a degree of ambient light. Otherwise, we would all be wasting high slots by having to install headlights. Asteroid belts would be a nightmare to navigate without a large bank of halogens letting you see what's around you.
Being totally realistic would involve an Eve that looks much different and be a heckuva lot darker than what we have now.

You can see the milky way with the naked eye if you move to the middle of the south pacific.

CCP is contracting it out.
This means: 1) CCP's not doing the nebulae, someone else is and thus: it'll be done in a week instead of the decade it would take CCP to do it. 2) CCP's paying $ out of pocket for their nebulae and thus: CCP wants it done in a week, but it'll be done in 2 weeks.

Or they can move the skybox and suns of whs to where most of userbase can see them.

This, very much!
But my inner little bittervet is pessimistic about CCP actually knowing it¦s own lore enough to give outside people instructions on what there actually is supposed to be in game.
We can only hope. By now I¦m partially mollified that we WILL eventually get a better, more sensible "skybox" than this current half a decade old thing. ______________ Mal-¦Appears we got here just in a nick of time. What does that make us?¦ Zoe-`Big damn heroes, sir.` Mal-¦Aint we just.¦ |

Note that actual physical thrusters would require enormous fuel tanks. They're not actually thrusters at all, but rather exhaust ports for all the nuclear waste and heat generated by the reactors that power a ship's "normal space" flight capability.
Or, in other words, Futurama had it right: Our ships move by moving the space around them, not the other way around. Hence why our ships' top speeds are limited by their volume and mass in near-vacuum. The reason for this is, again, no giant fuel tanks or lateral/ventral thrusters required, and also an extremely tiny energy footprint (see how much your capacitor is drained going from 0->full speed? Yeah.). While a ship using fuel-based thrusters would be capable of extreme speeds, they'd also have almost no actual agility due to momentum and, again... fuel tanks. Bleh! No point to that when you have (micro)warp drives, yes?
A completely fiction-related tangent, but I just felt like pointing that out.
On that note, also note that actual deep space is not nearly as boring-looking as Star Wars would have you believe...

Those kinds of images are coloured artificially to make sure the layman feels good about all the money NASA spends to get them.

Fine. Have a picture of the night sky with no light pollution.

Hmm, I'm having trouble finding pictures from the international space station or space shuttle that looks anything as busy as what the client looks like...not everything looks like it's in a nebula as the client depicts.... http://www.hubblesite.org/gallery/album/the_universe/ It would be a little more realistic to see more stars and less nebula effect...
A lot of those colors in nebula photos are interpretations of what they are actually getting from the space telescopes... http://www.hubblesite.org/newscenter/press_resources/skytel200209028034.pdf - - [SERVICE] Corp Standings For POS anchoring

It would certainly be nice to have a far greater number of stars, yes. The current star fields are obviously from an era where texture resolution was still a concern; in this day and age, 2048x2048 star fields are certainly not out of the question.
