The recent addition of visible nebulae throughout New Eden was a great aesthetic improvement for the EvE universe.
Space now presents us with a much more vibrant and colourful backdrop and additionally aids capsuleers in having a much greater sense of place amongst the stars.
What would further contribute to this visual and navigational consistency in the game would be the ability to display nebulae whilst viewing the star map in both 2D and 3D.
This would reinforce the visual identifiers for each region and help capsuleers navigate the universe more easily. We are already given a sense of place by visible nebulae in open space, so why not continue that trend into the star map? Given that its a tool to aid us in aiding our sense of place, surely the same benefits apply?
Tears about 'map clutter' and 'too much info' wouldn't be an issue if it were an option available to us through the star map preferences, much like 'Places I've Visited', 'Ships killed in the last 24hrs' and 'Sovereignty' already work.
What do you think? |

It'd be cool... but I can also see it being immensely annoying... pretty much the same way the "background" is when using the probing interface.
Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective. |

And by the way, without the background in the probing interface, you wouldn't be able to tell which co-ordinates you're moving probes along, or what angle you're viewing them from. |
