Folks:

I've seen a half dozen stars do that tonight.

Pretty sure they're all k-space stars.


Several? You're the first person I've heard of that has claimed more than one. Can you confirm this somehow?

I (and several people) have confirmed the pulsating star near Caroline's star (now Caroline's Nebula). I've been watching it for the past two days ever since Proteus dropped. The star in question varies at about 0.5Hz probably over 2 magntudes (very difficult to know that since, to my knowledge, no star has actually been calibrated photometrically in New Eden by data available to Capsuleers).

I don't think this is a new graphical issue. While I wouldn't put that past CCP, I'd expect something like that to be on a high graphic settings like those of asteroid dust and light rays. My main play machine, a laptop, is put on low graphics modes and this star is obvious once you look at it.

I think CCP is preparing something. Watch that star!

I'd agree with Rawketsled that its a K-Space star, by which I mean its in Jovian space like Caroline's Nebula and is probably connected to wormholes somehow, but right now that's just a guess. I know of no data that supports it yet.

Has anyone yet tried to triangulate on this star astrographically like we did for Caroline's?

A small blog report I did on this phenomena...
