1. Undock. 2. Change your point of view so that the sun is visible. It is now day-time. 3. Change your point of view again so that the sun is not visible. It is now night-time. 4. ??? 5.

Starships are like real world nuclear subs, there is no day and night just the time you goto sleep and the time you wake up. now you might still hold onto terms like calling 19:00 night though.

they also involve going onto the surface of planets... ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ Take away the risk and it would make flying around in space utterly pointless.
Take away the flying around part and you make EVE into a space themed spreadsheet application. |

primary plot lines of Halo and Planetside take place on the surface of spacial body and as such they have a night side and a day side. in outer space you wouldnt have this. "night" is just a perception of time anyway, in Northern Alaska they have a time of year where it is never fully dark but they still call it night and day afaik.
add to this a ship is a 24hr operation, the 24:00 shift is likely still called the night shift.

Edited by: Zaran Darkstar on 10/09/2008 17:10:39 The lack of daytime is a serious Eve flow that most of us put up with it.  That's why this dark game that has no day but only night makes the dark side of each one that plays it to come out more often than the other games.
So to summarise EVE is a dark game played by dark people. I don't think that people like you will be able to put up with this problem for very long. So when you quit contract all your stuff to me

There's no day or night in space, there are only stars!!!
Day or night happens only on planets. If you fly out in space, the sun is right there, you can look at it, it's always up.
Those other MMO's you've played, you had an avatar that ran around on the surface of a planet. EVE is in space, you're not on a planet. So there's no day/night. There's no weather. There aren't any seasons. There's no horizon.
This must be a troll.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume the OP is wondering why New Eden Standard Time does not adjust it's time like so many other countries do, forcing him to adjust his internal Local Time to NEST conversion constant.
It's because Icelandic people have to remember to adjust their GMT -> <Insert whacky country that likes to fiddle with their base-point for time measurement a couple of times a year> conversion constant. Vengeance is sweet.

Actually there is. I customized my ship, so that my cabin revolves around in the ship so it is always on the night side of the ship. I get a lot of sleep that way. To compensate my crew quaters are always on the day side of the ship. As my crew is paid each night I safe a lot of wages that way.

Holy Shit... Are you serious...
You want night and day.... Here is what you do.
If you want it to be day time fly to a spot where you can see the big bright thing in the background. This would be the sun.
If you want night, fly behind a planet/astroid or any other object that will block the sun... You now have night.
I can believe I just wasted time typing this! I am just as stupid for answering the original question.

You can't be serious. Empire is already WAY overbright.
Have you ever SEEN a map of Empire space? Play with those filters a little and you'll see clearly that Empire space is far too Luminous (with no risk) already.
Outside Empire there's more risk AND you can't see a damn thing because it's so freaking dark. Talk about a double-whammy.
It's all about Risk vs Reward. It's become apparent that the OP may have a point. Bravo for a worthwhile topic.

Originally by: Kendraala How come there is no day time in EVE like other MMO?
If we define "day" as the state of "the sun not being occluded by another celestial object" we find that most often there is "day" in EVE. Further we determine that "day" is not a time concept in EVE but rather a positional concept. In the sandbox spirit of EVE you can choose to be wherever you want and thus enjoy as much "day" as you fancy.

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun, and I say it's all right
Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here Here comes the sun, here comes the sun and I say it's all right
Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here Here comes the sun, here comes the sun and I say it's all right
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes... Sun, sun, sun, here it comes... Sun, sun, sun, here it comes... Sun, sun, sun, here it comes... Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear Here comes the sun, here comes the sun, and I say it's all right

If we define "day" as the state of "the sun not being occluded by another celestial object" we find that most often there is "day" in EVE. Further we determine that "day" is not a time concept in EVE but rather a positional concept. In the sandbox spirit of EVE you can choose to be wherever you want and thus enjoy as much "day" as you fancy.
From my camera POV, it is nightime when I put my ship between the sun and the camera. Oddly enough this is the case when my ship is the otherwise invisible cloaked ship.
Question, why do cloaked ships hate sunshine?

Since April 2nd 2006 I have disowned Indiana as my home state. The only thing good about the place, the "no fiddling with your clock" factor, was nerfed for the supposed greater good.
Thus leaving only Arizona and Hawaii as the last bastions of, "Screw the rest of the world! They can spring forward and fall back all they like. We're doing it our way" common sense in the US.
Iceland is nice for that as well, I suppose. Not that it matters much. Dork with your clocks and the sun would come up at what? 10am instead of 11 in the winter? So I imagine the icelanders were a bit *shrug* "Why cut into beer time? Nobody calls us anyway"...

I don't get dst myself, although getting an extra hour of sleep in the fall is always nice. but spring.... I hate spring oh so much. although gwb tells us it saves energy or something. although I like to keep my light on and stay up to stupid hours of the night anyways.
now if dst made it so it was daytime from like 2pm->2am that would decrease my usage of lights by quite a bit.

If those are the hours you're awake at, that wouldn't work. You'd still have a light on in the evening/night.
You just need to adjust your sleeping pattern, or play purely by the light of your monitor.

Ah but a promise is a promise is it not? So this 250million will stay where it is until someone claims it?
Ofcourse you could spend millions upon millions, but that 250 million you promised, would be always promised, until the promise is fulfilled.
Now, you could ofcourse claim it with an alt, or ask one of your friends to claim it with the knowledge you've volunteered to them, but that would sentence your life to an eternity of knowing that you, maker of promises, lied and cheated your way out of it.
I doubt you're that kind of person, although i can't be sure.
What'ever the case, i believe that the moneytary compensation you're offering is merely that, moneytary, and while money can change hands, be spent, re-earned and be spent again, the knowledge of the curiosity and the possibility to bring it forth at any given time, is the true reward here

Exactly, and if it felt i was judging your persona or doubting your honesty, i do apologise as is due.
Simply meant that as one who holds many things, some of information, passed and of things to come, i felt the need to let you know that i know.
If it were to come down to only me claiming the 250 million for this information, i will not rid you of it, simply, i will keep the information and the experience as my own and consider it a worthy reward. I hope you'll use that 250 million to a good cause though, as it would sadden me if it was used to bring grief and ill-will to people

Originally by: CCP Prism X It's because Icelandic people have to remember to adjust their GMT -> <Insert whacky country that likes to fiddle with their base-point for time measurement a couple of times a year> conversion constant. Vengeance is sweet. 
More than that, most people can work out what their GMT offset is, and know when their own country has summer time etc, but trying to figure out what the new offset is specially for Eve, and again when some random state in some random country on the other side of the world changes their clocks would be far far more annoying. GMT is the right way to do it, everything should be GMT.

You should watcht hat crappy movie where they go to the sun to inject stuff into it to save it from dieing. Although the movie I thought was crap, thus I forgot the name. But they take a secound ship to save the first and inadvertently let the sycho that killed the first misssion onto thier ship and the dude is super nuts.
Anyways watch that movie. I do what the crazy guy does I have a book mark for the center of the sun in Dodixie and I like to go there in a ship cloak and bath in the warm toasty cosmic rays at thier source.
In space by the way day/night is relative the same way up/down is. If you have a hard time understanding the idea that anydirection is whatever you wish it to be or not to be in null grav, Read 'Enders Game" and educate your self in that respect. |

Actually I remember reading an article about how the astronauts have a stick schedule to include sleep. Cause if they didn't they would stay up to late and there normal cycle would get disrupted.
Sounds like a majority of EVE players actually :) Wonder how many players have no idea what time it is until the down time message starts popping up stating that they have played EVE entirely too long :)
