Hey guys,
Maybe not exactly what you are looking for but I thought you might find this interesting if you had not seen/heard it already:
YouTube Podcast: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywnlrtj0V8A
If you don't want to listen to the whole podcast here is a write up that someone did about it: TheMittani.com write up: http://themittani.com/news/ccp-reveals-upcoming-dust-plans
If you don't want to read the whole write up let me quote the relevant part from the above article: "Skyboxes are being made DUST-side to allow mercs the ability to see capsuleers in orbit. This feature is coming very soon and is currently in a testing stage"
So yea... Enjoy! >:) Game Designer | Team True Grit |

Cool!
An easy work around would be to show flashes of light and explosions in the sky if there are figths going on in orbit. Which would be vague enough to prevent you from having to use loads of memeory to make it all clearly visible, yet it would give you a very vibrant effect.

Awesome, cos honestly, I was getting sick of people trying to let real life science get in the way of awesome space battles in the sky of a computer game. |

It would be easier then for mercs to aim their guns at OBS pilots ;) A merc wearing heavy drupsuit is capable of delivering serious damage. There are also NULL canons on battlefield returning fire at capsuleers. So OBS carry somy risk with it...

No, because they are in orbit, and being in orbit means that they are a very, very long way away.
And before you point out that EVE ships are bigger than either of those things, I should point out that the astronauts on the ISS can't even make out the largest cities on the planet without powerful zoom lenses, some squinting, and a map for reference purposes.
Low Earth orbit is about 2,000Km, and it seems reasonable to guess that anything performing an orbital bombardment is at that sort of altitude. I defy anybody to be able to see something that's as small as most EVE ships at that distance, and even titans would at best be a bright point of light that you could mistake for a star or planet.
Rubbish, the orbital strike will be 200-300 miles up at best. Just like it is for space based weapons. So at that distance you sure can see half a mile ship. |

We can see the ISS, satellites, and other orbital objects from the ground.
So, if someone parked a ship that's hundreds or thousands of meters long over the battlefield, I imagine they would be visible from the ground. |
