Do you understand?

You can see where the stars, link up, in, space.

I believe it's CCPs intention to make the universe seem real and more than just a pretty background picture.

It still doesn't help in the slightest in regards to navigation.

Hasn't that been like that for years? it even shows which direction you should be going with a small animation/flashy thing.

Now that's nice, I presume it's not in the current client?

It's on the current Singularity client

Think of what you can draw connecting the systems!

that seems like it would be pretty useless

But we all know I am the Awesominess

As soon as CCP lets me stick a vote on a thread... My Hair will then be decided by GD! :P :P

Awesome!, it gives you more prospectus of space.

And that post gives us more prospectus of your educational attainment

Awesome! Drawing auto-pilot route in the stars is really cool.

Also, HELL YES to having access to the auto-pilot settings outside the map. :D

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

Please remove the F10 map completely and put all of its functions in the main view!

Yes yes please make it so!

Oh MY god. Did YOU know about THIS feature?

I'm totally ******* STOKED. This is AMAZING. You GUYS.

Good Job CCP good job. Great ******* job.

Please have a video of you guys grabbing the guy who thought of implenting this and throwing him out his office cubicle for THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX. I am just so stoked right now. You guys.

I thought I knew what you were talking about, but no, I had no idea.

I honestly thought you meant the old route planner in the map, and that you'd just discovered it. Was wondering why people suggested it was useless, so I clicked your link.

Yes yes please make it so!

I remember ccp putting in actual stars from the galaxy once but had to remove them because they where causing so many issues with the map functions.

when did they get rid of them?

I was under the impression that all the stars you see in game are ones you can fly too...

Epic info I didnt know

Indeed! A cord that links from the outbound star gate to the skybox!

Interact with the local cluster of stars by pointing at them in the sky! But that could get a little irritating when you're trying to click something that's shooting at you, or a box you're trying to loot, or GǪ

oh wow

what if cynosaural field and cyno generator icons appeared next to the 'background' star in the distance rather than the silly right click menu on the capacitor?

Awesome! Drawing auto-pilot route in the stars is really cool.

Also, HELL YES to having access to the auto-pilot settings outside the map. :D

And this HASN'T been Dev blogged...... I'm in awe.

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?

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.

Could someone explain the point of this?

Not all.

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.

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

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

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 :)

This is photoshop right? CCP doesn't actually do this, no way. The new backgrounds are just hi-res map paintings......
