I think you missed his point. It had nothing to do with WiS.

I have to wonder if it's possible to creat the visible impression of a belt like the Kuipur belt in our system; extending in an endless ring around the Sun, while only having the actual asteroids visible on grid. If you wanted to change grids; you'd just have to warp to the next section of the belt.
Areas between could be vast tracks of Dust, small asteroids, and debris with no practical value; to extend the distance between useable belts and limt the number in a system, while having slightly larger grids.
The only problem I see with this, is it would still allow for a gret number of belts in a system; which would make for quite a potential problem should a great number of players decide to warp out to ever individual belt at the same time as they commonly do.
I don't really know how that is managed server-side; so no idea if it really matters. There are a great deal of belts in some systems too; so in some instances a measure of that is already in existance.
The little tiny wierdly curved belts are very odd, I'll agree. Quite often there curvature really has no bearing to the position of the planet or moon nearest them either.
Another option is replacing rings on planets with belts like this; which would make things much more interesting.
As for the rest: There is only so much you can do at this time; with hardware and programming limitations being what they are. Small steps.
Space is big, and it is also mostly empty; is another thing to keep in mind. |

The reason space is called space is because it is... space.
Space where things could be, but aren't. Therefore, by definition flying in "space" is flying between stuff, not through stuff. Want more stuff? Go to WoW. That's my professional opinion which, while cliche, should hold up in any courtroom. |

I must beg CCP devs to go and play Freelancer so they get ideas on how to make a proper sci-fi game atmosphere, right now it's just empty space with nothing in it and a pretty background to look at and I'm being nice, I'll even gather some youtube vids for you.

Should also hang out at market hubs and missions hubs more. I usually do find space to be empty till I hit the big hubs in EVE.
Threads like this generally result in anything positive.

yeah, space is large and empty, that's why distances are measured in AU, light seconds and light minutes, light years and not feet, miles and inches
and yes, flying in space is boring, thats why scifi ignores the reality of space so you can watch colonial vipers and cylons mixing it up in a furball in the vacuum
the reality is it takes 3 days of high velocity travel (24,000 mph or 10.72kps) just to reach the moon (0.0024 AU)
The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke's original formula, re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic", resulted in a significant gain in sales, leading to speculation that the introduction of the New Coke formula was just a marketing ploy |

Umm...that's why it's called "SPACE". At present I'm writing a story about being a freighter pilot and how mind-numbingly boring it is to be an "astronaut." Why? For that very reason; featureless space. No pretty trees, no herds of lowing cows, sudden streams with fabulous bridges...just space. I'm not going to reveal too much about it, but it does deal with the psychological affects of being professionally bored....for a living...sound familiar?

Playing freelancer right now. Everything feels too small, too crammed together. EVE has it right and I enjoy having more room to play around in in a single system than in every other MMO combined. |

It helps if you stop flying once in a while, and take a pot-shot at someone else. Once I discovered this, I found space more interesting.

At least the stuff you do find in Freelancer isn't just lame and generic like most of EVE, this is the problem when they just randomly spawn things in thousands of empty bits of space, they need to do some proper work on the content, make things interesting and dynamic rather than just static with some occasional spawning going on. |

No it should not. No it should never, ever, ever look like that.
This is not a Fighter Jet that happens to be in Space Sim, long engagement ranges and plotting courses instead of flying make EVE what it is...
A slow Tactical Starship Simulator in an Open Universe.
The game you are looking for is Vendetta Online, they are the Freelancer MMO. |

Do level 1 missions for different corps on your t2 frigate.
It's blast.
Flying small ships is always a blast.
I love flying my wolf to do level 1 missions. |

What would be neet would be romming fleets and squads or lonewolfs NPCs that could be a mix of anything.
Say i was out explorering sites and at the end of a site a Gallente battle fleet warps in, I happen to get a popup that offers me a new mission. A. I could take the mission and get good standing boost. B Leave and head out. C. Pick a fight with them and take a standing loss and maby get some good loot.
OR
I'm in Minmatar space (or any space) a Amarr Battleships flys in asking me to go kill someone for them. Its a minmatar spy what to do?!? Do i kill the spy or kill the amarr BS? No i kill the spy and the amarr BS looting both later after killing both that i find out the spy was a duble agent and can offer it to the minmatar for isk. |
