Or, "Wow! That is so cool!"

While doing my daily grind of answering my research agents' moments of stoppage, I jumped into a system and saw an event that made me think of an old World War 2 spotlight that was slowly panning the skies searching for planes. As the light engulfed and then passed beyond my shuttle, I saw other smaller beams of light following a similar pattern. But then I realized I jumped into a system and landed at the gate within the rings of a planet. It appeared that the planet was casually rotating as the sun light from the local star lightened the various rings. I checked my shuttle and it was not moving, still within the jump cloaking phase.

I just thought I would share a positive aspect to the game instead of another complaint.

Amen to that. There's so much to see in this game, very decent eye-candy in space and I for one enjoy it.

It just keeps getting better. Although I do miss seeing the old hive world planets. You know, the ones that look like a massive city from the dark side.

You know research agents keep researching even if you don't do those daily missions, right? Those are just if you want an extra day's worth of LP on top of what you're already making passively.

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe;
assault ships on fire off the shoulder of Cloud Ring;
I've watched multifreq-beams glitter in the dark near the Torrinos Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain."
