The new nebulas have potential, but like their predecessors they are ruined because of bad compression. They look like images from 1997. Instead of smooth color gradients, we get to see 8bit-like compression artifacts. The problem appears to be not so bad in empire where the space is colorful, but it jumps in our face in low/null sec, where there is color on a black space background, even more than on TQ.
The Cloud Ring seen from the Placid region looks like a tiled, striped 1kb 8-bit image. Go see for yourself CCP.

I know that what we have in our Sisi client is a badly compressed version of your original renders, made so there is no performance loss compared to TQ. The problem is that TQ backgrounds were built for dinosaur computers, it's time to rise the standards. This is not 2003 CCP, high-res backgrounds are CAKE for 1-2gb video cards running 2 maxed settings clients at over 100 FPS, and would make the whole game look a lot better.
Please stop thinking for those who run EVE on Vic-20 and Voodoo video cards before those who have good rigs and want to enjoy the game at its full potential. Best case you make high-res backgrounds an option in the settings menu, or even an optional download patch, and everybody's happy. It would be a shame to waste such (potentialy) good work. |

Exactly, it would be appreciated if CCP could let us know they are aware of this 'problem' and what they think of it. Please! |

Indeed, one per constellation would be the best, but asking for high-res backgrounds and that is quite a lot, gotta start somewhere |
