So, currently celestials are in a fixed state, never changing. How hard would it be to give the EVE universe some motion? Bookmarks as they currently are would need to change, but only for objects. Stations would be given an orbit around a specific celestial. Celestials would be given orbit around each other. Also, since we know all celestials are not going to change, just map out exact coordinates of all celestials based on a timestamp. This way there's no need for server-side logic, but rather a timestamp and getting current position of everything dependent upon that solar system's celestials. How hard could it be? Pirate

How hard would it be to learn how to search the forum? There is an active thread about this already, and it gets suggested almost every week.

It adds nothing to the game but complexity for it's own sake, and is thus a bad thing.
