This is one feature that seems to be curiously missing from E.v.E.; it's in many other MMOs/RPGs these days, why not one that gets updated as much as this game? It gets kind of dull always flying around in the daytime; nighttime could also potentially introduce some new PvP metagame mechanics. |

Umm... the same way as anywhere else? The sun goes down, it gets dark, ambient noises change to nighttime sounds (crickets, frogs, wind rustling trees, etc.) |

The fact that you have to ask indicates that there are, in fact, some people genuinely this stupid. Eve Online: The full-contact sport for your brain. |

There is a player-made solution to this problem: Whilst in space, rotate your camera angle around your ship while in line of sight of the local star. Be sure to use small movements as to mimic closely an Earth-like 24 hour cycle.

I do believe he got you... Or maybe, just maybe I have mistakenly credited the OP with an almost intelligent troll, which means that I have in fact been the one who was 'got'.

Can't tell if OP is serious or...
Can't the sun go down!!! If OP is serious, then I weep for humanity... It's human nature to want to explore. To find your line and go beyond it. The only limit, is the one you set yourself. |

The sun goes down, it gets dark, ambient noises change to nighttime sounds (crickets, frogs, wind rustling trees, etc.) The sun going down generally requires a planet that is in orbit around a star, and that is rotating around its own axis, hardly the type of thing you'll find in a space ship.
Trees, crickets and frogs in your space ship are usually down to poor maintenance and slovenly habits, if you have an infestation of this nature space your janitors and get some new ones, alternatively contact a local pest exterminator who will be more than pleased to cleanse your ship with antimatter.
As for the wind you could always eat more beans, I would however avoid doing so, methane strips essential nutrients from your pod goo and causes an increase in internal temperature due to the greenhouse effect.

I'm not really sure what the fundamental difference is between a planet and a spaceship orbiting a star (except for one being much bigger, obviously), but I'll take your word for it. |

A space ship doesn't tend to rotate around its own axis, unless you happen to be piloting one that generates artificial gravity through centripetal force.

This reminds me of an old joke about a Politician announcing a new space exploration mission to land on the sun:
Someone asks him, "Say, isn't the sun very hot, won't you burn up when you land?" The politician says "We thought of that, and that's why we're going to land at night."

You know what I find fascinating? I always think of stars as these immense nuclear furnaces. I mean, they are, but when I hear facts like our sun burns through 600 million tons of hydrogen every second, I think ....wow.
Then, I hear that translated to: The sun consume the mass of the Earth (in hydrogen) in about 70,000 years. And I think, gee, that sounds alot smaller than I was thinking. An object nearly a 3 million miles in diameter and essentially all the nuclear activity is occurring in an area far smaller than the Earth. |

Except that it's not "consuming" all of that mass. It's converting the vast, vast majority of that mass into Helium and other elements.
What's more interesting is the amount of mass it's converting into energy.
About 4x10^9 kg/s is converted to energy and released according to Einstein's famous equation of Mass-Energy Equivalence.
That means that every 1.5x10^15 seconds, (47.5 million years) the Sun releases 1 Earth Mass as Energy.
Which means that, since the Earth was formed, 4.5 Billion years ago, the Sun has converted the mass of 95 Earths into Energy. This is EVE - Everybody Versus Everybody.
