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

What are you smoking? I see more stars than that from my house.

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.

Just shows you know NOTHING about photography. Or space.
Ever had one of those cold moonless nights way outside civilisation where you thought "my god, never knew I could see that many stars"? Well, guess what, out in space you can see even more.

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

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.

Well, I would like the option to switch betwenn "nebulae without stars" and "stars without nebulae".
Reasons:
1) I don't like the colorful universe. No feeling of endless space and emptiness. But i like the stars
2) The stars are in front of the nebulae. So, the nebulae are more distant than the stars. How can the color/type of the nebulae change, when I travel between places, that are closer than the nebulae? Logical error, CCP! With the stars in front of the nebulae, the nebulae in the backgraound has to be the same all time

So, when I'm in a totally dark Yorkshire moor and look up and see the Milky Way (not the chocolate bar) across the pitch black sky...What am I looking at exactly?

I like them but as others have posted they look kinda out of place appearing in front of the nebula gasses when my brain is telling me they should be behind.

Sure the stars look awesome, but ever since revalations and seamless map came, my fps been way to low.

Not too sure about the star fields myself, looks a bit un-nautural.
While we are talking about changes, how about changing the "warp drive active" etc. voice back to the original?

It pleases me to see that so many people agree with me about how bad the new starfield looks.
I completely understand why some people like it. Cheers to you. That's why an on/off option would be nice.
It's also nice to see that for the most part our joint dislike of the starfield was expressed simply and rationally. Those are the kinds of comments that get responses from the devs, and it makes the trolls just more obviously.... trolls.
So continue to speak out about what you like or don't like about EvE, that's where changes and improvements come from. Other players simply cannot silence you, no matter how many attempts they make to minimize you.

I like the starfield, unfortunately the transition effects etc lag me all to hell (got plenty of everything in my computer except a decent graphics card). I like the starfield, but yeah, can we turn it off to save my ass from insta-death gatecamp lagout stuff?

I like the stars, but it's a real shame they appear in a ring, rather than in a sphere. It makes the whole Eve-is-actually-2d-in-many-ways thing painfully obvious. |
