I agree that when you are many AU from the star it should fade / shrink to a bright star. But removing the sun when you are up close? Just no. If you were to warp to within a few million kilometers of the sun, the light would be so bright that it would burn out your eyeballs, not to mention the heat and radiation! Actually even being able to warp to the star without being incinerated is totally unrealistic....

The art department has also mentioned that under the new lighting system they want to implement, being close to the star will make your ship glow. I presume it's something to do with the heat, but that gives rise to other complicated situations like "Will there be hull damage that will destroy your ship after too long? Why doesn't the ship rising in temperature fry your crew and pressure-cook you inside your capsule?" and many other interesting questions.

Agreed. Sadly if the wanted to design a realistic space game...anywhere within several million kilometers from the star would have to be an instant death zone. And don't even get me started on solar flares....

If they wanted to develop a realistic space game, we'd be zooming around completely out of control as we try in vain to maneuver our ships with a Newtonian physics model.

It's kind of it's only thing.

Try a gas cloud in a plex, then come back to me about the sun being bright. Now there's a point CCP, your gas clouds are brighter than a continuous fusion bomb. Well done.

It's quite amazing how for some a real sun is too much, and for others even a fake sun is too much. They don't hurt you, honest. Just don't glare at them and steer clear of getting too close to them.

Try saying THAT close to a star going supernova :P

I am pretty sure my character is blind by just looking at the sun. I even traveled to the sun and she was fine.

So you've never tried flying inside the sun huh? Can sell you a bookmark to one for fifty million.

For cry not loud, can't you just turn the camera the other way? And may i point out that in dogfights in the past, the position in relation to the sun was used as a tactical advantage... Sooooo, really? You're saying you can't look away when your camera isn't locked to the heading of your ship?

easy to do, i happened to jump to a covert cyno, wich deactivated while i was midwarp.

indeed, i landed in a random part of the destination system.

funny thing, my whole screen was bright yellow.

i double clicked in a random direction, then i instantly reached an incredible speed for 2-3 seconds, and "landed" at 0 on sun.

you might have it now, i was right in the middle of the star, and game engine somehow "ejected" me the second i moved my ship!

i tried to replicate this, but to no avail so far

So I'm not sure of the best way to do it... but the sun is blinding in many systems. There needs to be a way to turn down the brightness or turn it off completely.

Options:

- Solar Brightness Control
- Solar On/Off Switch
- Remove from Display
- Remove from Game.

I've heard this complaint from others, so I assume there are many more people that find it equally annoying.

In fact the most common solar system is binary.

it makes me wonder how they deal with the real sun when they go outside. Am I the only EVE player that actually GOES outside? :) Just do what I do: "don't look at the sun"

This is such an anoyance. For all CCP's efforts to make things pretty, they sure don't get it sometimes.
