Could someone explain the point of this?

It looks "pretty" but I'm having a hard time understanding the point of spending time to code that as appposed to any number of things that would actually be usefull in EVE.

Or is this where we are in EVE's life?
Getting excited over stuff that has zero useful fucntionality in the game.

You're complaining about a bit of visual polish on a 3D game which could be functionally represented by a spreadsheet?

You're trolling.

I'm complaining that this PARTICULAR visual polish has no functional use. It's not same as improving missile effects, turret effects, the way nebula are viewed.

Not all.

I'm complaning that I'd rather see functional things getting coded as apposed to useless little visual features that have zero impact on the game as a whole.


If disagreeing with you make sme a troll, then whats calling someone a troll that disgrees with you, make you?

You could draw some things on the sky. Connect the dots style.

This adds immersion to the game. Immersion is a huge part of a MMORPG. HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great to see you guys like this

Try this out: Be at the outgate in your current system and center the camera on it. Then move the camera so that the system which you will be jumping to next is right outside the gate on the screen. Now jump. Watch how your jump line goes to the system with the first plot line going from it.

Imagine if it went Star Wars style and made you ZOOM for an instant with stars and galaxies flying across your screen. Mother of god.

why do they continue to waste development time on stupid useless **** like this

Yes for many years

Everyone has a different idea of immersion.

The nebulae are an existing part of the "world". It's our trees if you will. Updating them makes perfect sense.

I've never seen anyone ask for this.
I've never seen CCP talk about doing this.

And I personally do not see how this makes space more "immersive".
No one ever said, give us lines in space that connnect stars so that I can feel more immersed.


It's not that big a deal to me to be honest.
IF CCP is saying this is something that took one guy like an hour or two to code in his spare time. But if this is something someone spent a week working on, I'm sorry, but that's rediculous.

CCP said modular PoS's turned out to be "to hard", station exploration got shelved, and for all we know WiS is never going to happen.

But thank god we got lines in space.

Eyeliner and blush don't help in the slightest in regards to personality, intelligence or competence, but for some reason we think women look nicer when wearing them. What gives?

Hi there,

I first got the idea for this when I was orienting the star gates to point to the actual stars, a long time ago. This was a pet project that I did in a few evenings in my spare time. My hope was to bring more depth to the background and a sense of direction when traveling long distances.

I am glad you like it. To those who don't see the point: I guess I should have done something else in my spare time :)

i picture it as something tony stark would design into his HUD.
