More likely that their position is calculated once per system and then displayed in the same way like a background bitmmap. Absolutly no framerate decrease for me. Wrong. If you watch the stars as you crawl toward a gate you will see them doing a staggered shuffle. The relative pixel distance between a pair of stars grows and shrinks. This wouldn't happen if they were rendered once (which is another good reason for the single render route). -- (Battle hardened industrialist) [Brackley, UK] Linux is only free if your time is worthless

Tachy	Posted - 2006.12.06 12:44:00 - [33] The pod gives you the positions of all known and reachable stars in the system background. It is a very nice feature. It could look nice. With those stars all being of the same size and colour right now it seems a wee bit useless. Actually, only the stars in the background. In the map we had that nice feature where it did show us the true star colour. It wasn't reflected by the actual star in the systems though, but that's another story - same as gates only being able to exist in systems with dual stars. It doesn't have any obvious purpose at the moment past slowing the client down a bit. (New dev's entry project?) --==*-- The cause for this is not yet known, but we do have a possible fix in testing. by Sharkbait \| 2006.09.20
Strength Cow	Posted - 2006.12.06 12:49:00 - [34] Originally by: Eomar Originally by: Hana Brenecki The new starfield and map animations are the most meaningful upgrades EVE has had in the last year. I don't care if it goes at 1 frame a second. I want my pretty stars and map, and I think they should be force-fed to everyone. meaningful??! yeah if by meaningful you mean "it means you have to wat while it zooms out and spins round and generally **es round before finally giving you the damned thing you wanted in the first place." No, I think it was meaningful as in "meaning it was a sarcastic point which sides with you and you totally missed it." Originally by:** Eomar When im using my satnav it doesnt zoom out from my present location all the way to the world map. nor would i want it to. same goes with the map as far as im concerned. There is already an option to make the animation instant. I tried it. It is instant if you dont use flatten map. And if you do use flatten map, it takes about 1 sec. Originally by: Eomar fine it does look cool. but frankly i couldnt give a toss WHAT it looks lke if it annoys hell out of me everytime i try to use it. Grow a stronger mind and quit letting things that dont matter annoy you so much. If you bought EVE yesterday and began playing, youd never even THINK ABOUT IT as something negative. It is not inherently a problem. It is a problem because you DECIDED to be annoyed by it because your brain is suffer from what makes all brians begin to grow old, which is inability to adapt and change. (I'm being serious, not just throwing out random insults. The words I'm using are my literal analysis of the situation and not just made up on a whim.)

MailFan Horizon.Inc	Posted - 2006.12.06 13:20:00 - [36] Edited by: MailFan on 06/12/2006 13:19:55 Imo the new starmap is nice, and it looks sweet when you zoom out and see the systems are actually real systems in EVE. Now I wouldn't mind at all having this map, if it would not be that I had a comparable fps drop like other people. I'm not saying it's because of the map, I just would like a response by the Devs if it is. And if so, remove it :p (or make an on/off option). -- Cry havoc and let loose the dogs of war
Celestis Kudzu	Posted - 2006.12.06 18:23:00 - [37] Edited by: Celestis Kudzu on 06/12/2006 18:23:10 Originally by: Strength Cow How could you POSSIBLY know the new background stars make you lose FPS? They were put in with 895 other changes to the game. Is it just because you are a control freak obsessive compulsive perfectionist with bad taste that you don't like the new stars, and therefore DECIDED they are making your FPS lower? No. You're wrong. I tested it on Sisi before and with the star field in the backround my computer took a serious FPS hit. On Sisi it was possible to have the star field rendered in system or not. When the star field was not drawn I would get much higher frame rates then with the stars being drawn. Of course asking you to read would be too much.
Mondo Banana	Posted - 2006.12.06 19:07:00 - [38] If your idea of "nice" is a scattering of single pixels that shuffle across the screen like a never ending wave of tiny stellar drunks, then yes, it is indeed "pretty."

Guess what, i had graphics related lag on my comp too, instead of asking ccp to turn off ships i worked a bit more and spent some money on a decent card. Wow.. and I was told that EVE's playerbase was supposedly vastly more mature than other MMORPGs.. I've yet to see it.

Eve is vastly more mature than most MMO's, u cant take one mans opinion and reply and say that the whole community is like it, besides forums just end up being a place to let off steam for some people and i also fear forums bring out the worst in people no matter who they are, its just something the rest of community puts up with it doesnt matter what forum u go to its the same everywhere. edit PS we all have our moments as im sure u do too
Mesacc Gallente	Posted - 2006.12.07 15:16:00 - [41] Originally by: Grez Also, the average human eye cannot tell the difference of anything above 72, some can, some can't. 72? I always heard it was 24. Movies are only recorded at 24 FPS. I cant tell the difference between 24 or 15.
Alowishus Shadow Company Alektorophobia	Posted - 2006.12.07 15:19:00 - [42] The star map is eye candy. Being seamless hasn't made any difference to me (haven't checked FPS, game works so I don't care). I see people ask for all sorts of stupid **** on these forums, why is this guy being flamed for asking for something, that while mundane to me, is ultimately meaningless?
