Please make the new starfield graphics an option.
First it's not realistic, in real space (in contrast to all the wellknown SF-movies, even the best and factually accurate ones) you dont see that many stars (check with www.nasa.gov) and secondly I personally liked it better before, just the nebulas.
You can leave it in there if you must but make it an option. Thanx
As for the rest of the content patch: keep up the good work ccp!

I dont like it either, it's just a uniform ring of stars, there's no spots where there's less than the other parts of the ring, it's just unrealistic.
Well, no. Maybe if you're sat in the middle of the galaxy, yah. Where I am (out at Deklein, on the edge of EVE) there are only stars in the direction of the rest of EVE, on the other side is emptiness. Which is really brilliant- give you much more immersion.

2. Dust clouds and nebulae. Have you noticed that every single system has some sort of colored dust cloud or nebulae? While they exist in real life you should't be seeing then in every single system. Particularly in outer laying regions you shouldn't see anthing but black space with stars.
Actually, I'd contest this one. Firstly, New Eden (the EVE Universe) isn't in the Milkyway- its another galaxy. Plenty of galaxies have been observed which have massively higher nebulae content than Milkyway- we can safely assume New Eden is one of these.
Secondly, the map as we see it isn't the galaxy- it's the teeniest tiniest explored fragment of the galaxy. Galaxy = several billion stars. EVE = several hundred. Add to that the fact CCP reserves the right to "discover" more stars at any time they like, and the fact that you can see in your standard space view loads and loads of twinkling stars that don't represent in-game locations. All we see is that tiny amount of this galaxy that have had jump gates built in them.
So nya

Hehe, I actually noticed when closing down my map that those stars were representing actual known systems in the game :)
I know that- I was talking about all the other stars, the ones that have always been there. The hundreds and hundreds of twinkly ones which DON'T correspond to the ones in game.

To be honest, I do like the new star field graphics, but thy could do with bing tarted up. Maake them bigger than a single pixel, recolour them (so they're not uniform grey) and, if possible, put them behind the nebulae. That would make them look alot better.
