Left disappointed over just finding Lens Flares... This. Lens. Flares. Are much MUCH different than "solar flares".....not sure how someone associated with anything "spaceship" related could get the two confused.
Truthiness is found above.
I find that without a good mob to provide one for them, most people would have no mentality at all. |

Flares with flair! Saw a couple of the lens effects on Sisi, very nice! OSX client. Uhm... assuming that different suns don't give different shapes (because it's the camera)... can we have a dropdown box of a few styles? Pleez? Do not actively tank my patience. |

False advertising is false. Lens Flare is VERY different from Solar Flare. Jerks. JERKY JERK JERKS!
Okay, besides that, the lens flares look nice. Thanks. I can kill you with my brain too. It's genetic.

Since everyone else is jumping all over the lens vs solar flare thing (HUGE disapointment), can I just mention that lens flares don't really make sense? As from what i understand about EVE lore, the controllable "camera" is a composite of input from a cloud of "camera drones."
Also, as mentioned, the ability of stars in EVE to grow the further one moves from them one gets is quite scary. |

Don't you find it too odd the way the halo increases right before the sun appears on screen, then quickly decreases once it is on screen? Signature Tanking - Best Tanking. Beware the french guy!

awesome, looks very nice on the test server.
it would be nice to see those flares also from other bright light sources, e.g from ship explosions. eve style bounties (done) dust boarding parties imagine there is war and everybody cloaks - join FW |

Beautiful...a suggestion? Why not give us wormholes and a displacement engine a la farescape or something similar to tap into sun flares and destroy capitals? Maybe even, dare I write it, blobs? |

I always assumed that was adaptive light filtering. As being within 50000km of a star would mean a complete inability to see... well, anything. As since there is clearly enough atmosphere in space to scatter light necessary for bloom effects. |

Looks nice, but what I would really want is true brightness scaling per distance from the star.
IIRC, 30+ AU from a G-Type star, you can't really determine which pinpoint of light is the star in that system, which means most of the light you would be getting would be from the star field that surrounds you. Could be interesting.

Lens flares, not solar flares. Not solar anything for that matter because that refers to the Sun, and there's only one Sun in the entire universe. Furthermore it's nowhere near New Eden.
There are stars, not suns. Please refer to them as such properly.
If you were to actually implement "solar flares" (which again, these aren't) the proper term would be stellar flares.
These are, however, gorgeous as I've said previously. "Pretty much all 14 of the CSM were in favor of a drone assign nerf for OBVIOUS gameplay reasons" - Sala Cameron

Or you could take sun/star as referencing the distance one is from a star. Far away suns are stars. Close stars are the sun. et cetera.
As considering this sort of quibble only comes up in pretend scenarios with pretend spessships being flown by pretend spessmen in the vicinity of, generally, pretend orbital bodies, its not really something anyone has a purely factual basis to reference when discussing terminology.
For instance, if we were to colonize one of the kepler planets, the star of that system would more than likely be referred to as "the sun" for all intents and purposes. Although there might be people walking around screaming about how "THAT IS NOT THE SUN THAT IS A STAR! THE "SUN" IS LIGHTYEARS AWAY!!" But some mysterious accident would be likely to befall such an individual.
But otherwise, yea, the solar flare vs lens flare thing is pretty damned bad. |

Adroc Novac wrote:Dear Devs,
In keeping with the theme of making EVE gritty and realistic as possible, please consider making the solar glare scale realistically. At 50 AU even betelgeuse, a stupidly massive star, would appear to be a tiny point of light in black empty space. (Snip.) Not really. Betelgeuse is ~ 1000 times the radius of our Sun, which is ~ 1000 x 0.00465 AU = 4.65 AU.
So as seen from a distance of 50 AU, Betelgeuse would appear to have an apparent diameter of 2 x atan( 4.65 / 50 ) ~ 10.6 degrees. That is about the width of your hand held at arm's length. The stars depicted by the graphics engine in EVE are thus *much* smaller than Betelgeuse. Have you Communicated with your fellow capsuleers today? It is good for the EVE-oconomy and o-kay for you. |

This once again brings up the issue of game 'landscaping'. Why don't we see different areas around the system have different combat static attributes, as you do in wormholes? Seeing certain bonuses and handicaps to fighting around stars, asteroid belts, and other places in the game would be a wonderful addition to game immersion. |

When are we going to see binary stars? The vast majority of star systems in our galaxy are multiple star systems, so it might be interesting to have multiple stars to warp to. |

What you're suggesting is the equivalent of calling every planet that we colonize Earth, or calling every city we build New York.
If we were to colonize a planet around a named star, we wouldn't start calling it the Sun. It's not like the Sun is the only star that has a name. We have names for thousands of stars. And we can easily name even more stars if they become important enough to us. "Pretty much all 14 of the CSM were in favor of a drone assign nerf for OBVIOUS gameplay reasons" - Sala Cameron

Allow me at this point to point out - since nobody else seem to have noticed - that these are LENS flares and not SOLAR flares. Or rather STELLAR flares as could be argued by someone really fond of posting.
There.

What I'm suggesting is language evolves based upon usage. Were we to terraform and colonize mars, we would probably maintain such colloquialisms as "toiling in the earth" and referring to "dirt" as "earth." Rather than referring to martian dirt as "Mars" or what have you. That would not mean we're calling Mars, Earth, it would simply mean we're calling "dirt" "earth."
There would always be "that guy" walking around screaming about people referring to "Mars" as "earth" or what have you, but like in the previous hypothetical, some mysterious accident would eventually befall him.
Terms like "sun burn" and "sunlight" wouldn't change depending upon whatever solar system you're in, unless you're talking to "That Guy," who is mysteriously still alive, despite all his "accidents."
But hey, if you want to get really, really pedantic (and I have a hunch, that yes, you do) the term "earth" and "sun" predates our definitions of planets/stars. Therefore it wouldn't be completely outside the realm of possibility to adapt said terms to what they referred to originally. Sun = bright hot ball in sky, earth = thing you're standing on. Also earth's proper name is "Terra," our Star is "Sol," our moon is "Luna," but all these terms get used in contexts not specifically referring to their Proper Noun namesakes. |
