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!

Yeah, I do concede that point, Isyel, to a cetain degree...  , my wish however remains. The starfields made it less realistic even ...
(I didnt start a discussion on explosion/engine sounds in space, on purpose)

If you are in direct sunlight, you have to heavily shield your eyes (see astro-helmets). I doubt that with these on, you will see any stars next to the sun

Hi Folks
After reading all the overnight posts, I think everybody agrees that this topic is a polarizing issue. Like "2001 Odyssey in Space" you either like the new starfield graphics or you don't (I love the first and hate the latter). So maybe if the Devs do have some time on their hands, we do get an X-Mas present in form of an option to turn the starfields on and off, t'is the season ...

You can see the stars when your in the shadow of a planet, but not when you are in direct sunlight, which is what you mostly are in eve ...

At least the original poster (moi) doesn't consider himself to be whining. I am merely suggesting to make the starfields optional, NOT remove them.
I have not mentioned any of the other post-patch topics, ie. i dont mind the way the wrecks work, i dont go on endlessly about 800'000 free skillpoints of newbies and I certainly dont WHINE about nerfings ...
I think the revelations patch a BIG achievement for EvE and CCP. Let me make that perfectly clear.

I have consulted a few astronomy (and moon-hoax-debunking) websites, from what I have read there it seems to be a fact that you can not see the stars in Space when standing in the sunlight - no matter if you take photographs or just use your eyes.
So if that all holds up, it would be (even for me ) acceptable to see the starfields, when in the shadow of a planet, in the shadow of a large station or when actually in the middle of nowhere were there is no or not too much direct light

It's not that you *cant* see the stars in space, but the visibility is tied to conditions (different than those on earth of course).

From: http://www.braeunig.us/space/hoax.htm
The black sky should be full of stars, yet none are visible in any of the Apollo photographs.
This claim is one I hear frequently, and is one of the easiest to refute. The answer is very simple: they are too faint. The Apollo photos are of brightly lit objects on the surface of the Moon, for which fast exposure settings were required. The fast exposures simply did not allow enough starlight into the camera to record an image on the film. For the same reason, images of the Earth taken from orbit also lack stars. The stars are there; they just don't appear in the pictures. The hoax advocates often argue that stars should be visible, and some of their claims are valid, however they fail to recognize the difference between "seeing" stars and "photographing" stars. The astronauts could have recorded star images in their photos by increasing exposures, but they were not there to take star pictures. The purpose of the photos was to record the astronauts' activities on the surface of the Moon.
Bill Kaysing claims that NASA has perpetrated the lie that stars cannot be seen in space to validate the lack of stars in the Apollo photos. This assertion is utterly ridiculous; in fact, NASA has released many photos in which stars are visible. Common among these are long-exposure nighttime photographs of aurora taken by space shuttle astronauts. This example [see photo] is a four-second exposure taken from the flight deck of the shuttle Endeavour.
The astronauts should have seen a beautiful star-filled sky above them, yet they never mention it.
Even though there was a black sky above them, the astronauts still had to contend with the glare of a brightly lit lunar surface. The bright landscape prevented the astronauts' eyes from becoming dark adapted, thus making it nearly impossible to see faint stars. It would be like trying to see stars at night on Earth while someone is shining a flashlight directly into your eyes. Some astronauts reported that, while inside the LM, they could see stars through the upper rendezvous window. Also, astronaut Gene Cernan said that, while standing in the shadow of the Apollo 17 LM, he could see some stars while he was outside.
.......
So you *can* see stars in space, but there *are* conditions.

IF you do see stars, the chances are that you will see many more stars than on earth. However if you can not see the stars for any of the reasons mentioned in my quote from the moon-hoax-debunking site, you will see less stars than on earth
