One thing I never understood cause the backgrounds look really mediocre and really showing their age and every system looks the same but a different colour. To me it doesn't feel immersive but everything just feels 2D and fake.

It's not so much that every system has a nebula, more that the Eve cluster is in one big nebula.

I'm thinking your sense of perspective needs an adjustment.
You know those little white pixel-sized dots on the background? Those are other solar systems. The nebulae you think are for each system is actually one giant nebula surrounding the entire Eve cluster of systems. The color of the nebula is based on the local system's star color. That last bit is not particularly realistic to me, but what do I know about stellar dynamics.

CCP is supposedly in the process of redoing the "skybox" so that the backgrounds will look like a REAL location in space.
Meaning that as you move from system to system, the starts/nebluae will change based on where they are in relation to others. This should make it more "realistic". Hopfully they'll cut down on the bright colors, and make it a darker region of space.

So totally pitch black?
No, I know what you mean.. and it's going to be awesome but it's not going to be 'realistic'.
But, yeah. These forums seriously need some indicator that the post has ended and the sig has started. |

The color thing is (i.e. not black) is false color overlay added by the pod's imaging system... to make us feel all warm and cozy

You go tell people in the southern hemisphere that space is pitch black.

I would love if it the art team finishes the new background system early :(
I would love to see what some of these nebula look like from outside them.

sure ignoring the fact that each background has a different shape.

What it needs is a better starfield. Less ST:TNG, more the old universal intro. The nebulae are bad, the embarrassingly bad starfield they obscure is worse. -

right... I guess you use your eyes when looking at your ship in eve, not like you use camera drones or anything that could potentially see far more then a human eye could.
Stupid arguments about how space should be black while that is only when looking through human eyes and not through a camera.... -- stuff -- |

they aint even finished the m10 effects, give them chance ;) (well they better not have, cause the nos effect is crap, and a bunch of terret effects are down right awful). (not to mention small electron blasters dont show up on my ship.... :/)

Meh, if your star cluster was close to an interstellar nebula or nebulae then yeah, every star would have a nice view of it. Those things are hundreds, if not thousands, of lightyears big.
And, on a less technical note, its purdy to look at. --------

W-space has the new "skyboxes", and they are as cloudy and bright as the old ones.
Just goes to show that those of us who'd like more 'realistic' space backgrounds need to whine way more.

I am against removing nebulae all together or to tone them down that they become dark and lose their beauty. The colours are an integral part of the races. Amarr is gold, Galentee is that weird mix of greens, Minies are red, and Caldari are blue. If people want a more realistic approach, then the core empires would almost all be nebulae, as they're in the cluster near the centre of the galaxy, while nul-space would be much blacker as they've gotten much further from the highly populated centre. But they would still see these nebulae, on at least one side. - - - Aloriana Jacques - Skill Sheet

IMO the people want a more tasteful and user-friendly approach. Which, in many ways, is also more realistic. ...

the sky-box in space games has recently been the show-piece (homeworld2 among otheres). level artists, who would usually be breaking their backs making sand look sandy, dont have much do do, so they try to make space look as engaging as possible.

What do you think of W-space backgrounds then?
They're supposed to all look a bit more like that at some point.
if you disagree with me then you should probably post a response and stop reading my signature. |

As long as they remove the systems that can light up my room and burn an image into my retina at the same time then I'm cool with whatever.
It really sucks when you gotta pan away from a fight just so you can see.

I'd like it if there were some systems between in the empires and out in null sec that are mostly black with nebulas in the distance.

Ditto. With all the clouds and crap I feel like I can just climb out of my ship an walk around.
But CCP has already addressed this issue . Their response was along the lines of "tough ****. Nebulas are staying. Get used to it".
I think I remember a CCP person talking about how eventually, all the stuff in the sky will be consistent with the rest of the EVE universe (meaning that nebulas will have specific positions in the universe, and solar system backgrounds will be unique to each system, reflecting these nebulas realistically). I think in the same post though she also said that this wasnt a priority, and something that was on the back burner. But still, if they did that, it'd be awesome.

I read a psychology article one time that explained how the color of your room greatly effects your mental stability. Yellow was the worse and can drive the resident crazy over time. So what happens to pilots whose home system are the Bright Yellow ones???  --------------
