Zerb Arus WormSpaceWormS 3	Posted - 2013.01.10 13:45:00 - [1] - Quote Just warped to a planetary district to find out how grids work with things in orbit. (damn curiosity) Would you have to use 'keep at range' to stay over the district? What happens when you hit grid-borders? Easy answer: Apparently they just stopped every planet with districts from turning. -> problem solved Is this true or was I just not patient enough? Did those planets really stop turning?
Rain6639 Team Evil 63	Posted - 2013.01.10 13:48:00 - [2] - Quote it's worth an undock, i'm making my way over to one of the systems to see for myself, as well if you need me, I'll be on youtube watching russian car accident videos

Ahh, i knew they didnt orbit (it would be to complicated to calculate for the game engine etc is the reason i head) but i never realised they rotated.

Wierd, eh? On topic, i havent checked out the Planets yet. Might have to a bit later when i get back on. On the subject of orbits, they should, that would be wicked... But make the orbits so large for some planets, that it doesnt go anywhere fast...(Think about 90AU orbits.. ouch)

Wierd, eh? Mmmm this was weird : Summer Showers in East Mids Golfball hailstones - more summer weather The rest of the time it just rained - for 62 successive days. Could be worse, could be in Adelaide where it hit 45C recently with overnight "lows" of 41C

Once that happens its house on the market and bye bye East Mids. I still have safes inside planets/moons. Does this mean I can cause earthquakes to kill dustbunnies

J3ssica Alba Federal Navy Academy Gallente Federation 647	Posted - 2013.01.10 18:23:00 - [28] - Quote So when the dust bunnies arrive on the planets they're going to find one side perma blasted by the sun into a 700 degree desert and the other side a freezing cold permanight tundra with miles high glaciers covering once populated cities. So much for temperate planets .... This is my signature. There are many others like it, but this one is mine.-á Without me, my signature is useless. Without my signature, I am useless

silens vesica Corsair Cartel 336	Posted - 2013.01.10 20:04:00 - [32] - Quote CCP FoxFour wrote: The planets did rotate before and we did stop them. Revisiting this. That crashing, screaming sound you heard? That was everything loose on the furface of the planet being whipped into the air (and maybe space) as their circular motion suddenly became linear as the world came to a screeching halt under their feet. The 'sloshing' sound is the oceans suddenly overlowing their basins and doing what wandering oceans do. Property values have declined precipitously. Quote: Hopefully someday in the future we can get them rotating again, but as it stands we had to stop them. Resulting in another realignement of the tax base as the world just as suddently jerks out from under the re-built cities and lives of the inhabitants. Oh, and here comes the ocean again...

Ranger 1 Ranger Corp 3325	Posted - 2013.01.10 20:33:00 - [33] - Quote Gentlemen, the counter revolution has been successful. To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors. If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base.

That is a long ways off though, so no holding your breath. First of all, thanks for the fast clarification, CCP FoxFour! CCP rocks these days! Stopping planets is as pragmatical of an idea as it is funny. Second: Get CCP Nullarbor over here to receive likes just for thinking about bringing grids to the next level! I always joked about the static- and 2Dness of eve. When you aligned stargates into 3D you totally surprised me! Its a little thing that totally erased an awkward feeling i had on every jump. Knowing that there is a nonzero chance of something like moving grids in the future makes me really happy.
Callic Veratar Power of the Phoenix 313	Posted - 2013.01.10 21:45:00 - [35] - Quote I always found it a bit weird when I would mine a belt around a gas giant and watch the rings move from above the belt to below or vice versa. The planets rotated on around the vertical axis, even if the planet was tilted like Earth, so the ring actually tumbled around the planets. If moving grids were implemented, I would love to see proper planetary mechanics everywhere. DirectX 11, it's not rocket appliance!

That is a long ways off though, so no holding your breath. pull this off, and next thing we'll have is planets orbiting their star. you know, it's a neat idea. and something many people have been asking for literally ages. it might look weak on the effort:payback ratio initially, but you can never think of all the possibilities we can come up with that idea. also check the positive feedback you've got in just a couple of hours.
Scatim Helicon GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 1356	Posted - 2013.01.10 22:22:00 - [37] - Quote Just want to mention that moving grids would be completely amazing and open up massive amounts of possibilities for New Things. Requesting a list of Devs I need to get drunk at Fanfest to make this happen. Titans were never meant to be "cost effective", its a huge **.-á- CCP Oveur, 2006 ~If you want a picture of the future of WiS, imagine a spaceship, stamping on an avatar's face. Forever.
Skorpynekomimi 359	Posted - 2013.01.10 22:25:00 - [38] - Quote So, will moving grids lead to a 'maintain position relative to this' option for celestials? Planets orbiting stars as well? What's next, having to introduce dynamic bookmarks because of PoSes orbiting moons orbiting planets orbiting stars orbiting the galactic center?
