The good thing about this new system is that it would prevent station games. As soon as you undock the station would whiz off into the distance far faster than your frigate can fly :-)




No sir! In RL this doesnt happen because of physics. In Eve the way to get around that is to incrementally change the location of objects during downtime.

Having celestial bodies orbit the sun would be a nice touch, but lets be realistic. The game coding for such a minor change would be incredibly difficult and the game would gain little if anything from such a massive effort.

Excessive bookmarks have been known to be a problem in the past. Implementing such a thing would only exacerbate that.

I disagree about excessive bookmarks - especially if it takes some skill to mark them. HOWEVER, the thousands, or maybe tens of thousands, of existing bookmarks would be...a challenge?

probably 10's of millions. Fortunately computers are good at this sort of thing and should be able to crank it in about 30 minutes.
