Try saying THAT close to a star going supernova :P

The EVE suns could be worse, imo. But they also could be a lot better.

It still would be a lot cooler if at least the visual part of the stars could be done in a more realistic manner.

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

Fighting back is more fun than not.

I am pretty sure my character is blind by just looking at the sun. I even traveled to the sun and she was fine. If there was a star in eve that was dying, would that system be deactivated because that system is lifeless and cold? Or will we still be able to live in the system, but no sun to illuminate the objects?

So you've never tried flying inside the sun huh? Can sell you a bookmark to one for fifty million.

For cry not loud, can't you just turn the camera the other way? And may i point out that in dogfights in the past, the position in relation to the sun was used as a tactical advantage... Sooooo, really? You're saying you can't look away when your camera isn't locked to the heading of your ship?

easy to do, i happened to jump to a covert cyno, wich deactivated while i was midwarp.

indeed, i landed in a random part of the destination system.

funny thing, my whole screen was bright yellow.

i double clicked in a random direction, then i instantly reached an incredible speed for 2-3 seconds, and "landed" at 0 on sun.

you might have it now, i was right in the middle of the star, and game engine somehow "ejected" me the second i moved my ship!

i tried to replicate this, but to no avail so far

It's exaclty like those motion-sickness people with the new jumping effect.

CLOSE YOUR EYES.

So I'm not sure of the best way to do it... but the sun is blinding in many systems. There needs to be a way to turn down the brightness or turn it off completely.

Options:

- Solar Brightness Control
- Solar On/Off Switch
- Remove from Display
- Remove from Game.

I've heard this complaint from others, so I assume there are many more people that find it equally annoying.


I bet you don't even praise the sun.

That would be an excellent April Fools joke from CCP. Having random blue star systems experience a supernova.

In fact the most common solar system is binary.

We must live in a strange part of some galaxy then (which CCP calls the 'universe' for some reason), because there are no binary star systems that I know of. The average galaxy contains 100's of billions of stars. I think the Milky Way is estimated to have around 400 billion.

Of course New Eden is just a few thousand stars in a cluster so that might not be that strange to not have any binaries in such a small cluster.

In fact we could be in the MIlky Way for all we know (though as I recall the lore, the Earth colonists couldn't figure out where New Eden was exactly, so that probably means it's in some distant galaxy).

If people have this much of a problem with graphic suns on their monitors, it makes me wonder how they deal with the real sun when they go outside. Am I the only EVE player that actually GOES outside? :) Just do what I do: "don't look at the sun"

In the real world, no one is shooting at me while they're flying in a space ship that is the size of the empire state building.

This is such an anoyance. For all CCP's efforts to make things pretty, they sure don't get it sometimes.


i think the word we are looking for shiny - CCP fascination with all shiny stuffs
