Also what are the floating lights outside stations attached to? How do they work? I must know the answer to these questions.

Never look up!!!!

'THEY' live up there and 'THEY' really don't like to be spied upon.

Not being able to look up in stations is a safety measure implemented by ccp to prevent a recurrence of the great kisogo massacre of 2011 when 47 newbies, who weren't aware of the enigmatic entities living up there, looked up at the pretty lights and where mysteriously dismembered and biomassed.

On a related note, I hear that the devs have their fun room up there, tea, biscuits, pooltable, torture chamber etc. P

Huh? Does'nt the hold-right-mouse-button work in your case? I remember looking up Gallente stations and seeing... uh.. are you talking about looking up in hangar mode? or captains quarters mode?

edit: they are holographic traffic guides, them lines outside stations

Just remember.....

When you're in your hanger admiring your shiny bling ship..... 'THEY' are watching you from up there!

It may be spaceboat porn of the highest quality, fitted out with officer/deadspace mods but do try to refrain from getting too 'aroused' Shocked

Neck Locks version 2.3.40 Latest version to keep your head firmly planted on the floor looking down in submission, kind of how your "captains quarters" are really a prison cell because the door doesnt open, not because it cant but because you are CCPs prisoner now!! Get used to it. Your overlords are watching from above. Do not look at them. Do not think of them!! They are always watching!!

Its the same reason you cannot smile in your avatar.Twisted Happiness is VERBOTEN!!

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

You used to be able to look up in stations by looking straight down, zooming and rotating in such a way it flipped the camera gimbal mechanic - they seem to have prevented that happening now - probably because the ceiling areas look unfinished.

Hold Right-Click, and Move around, should work to see up. When I last tried, it looked like other Ship Docks are above you, like the ones below you as well.

Yes, I wondered about them as well and frankly I don't see the point. If, as we are so frequently told, we will be towed into station, why have the guides? Unless CCP are thinking of introducing Elite style docking procedures whereby you have to synchronise your ship with the station.
Now that that really would sort the men from the boys!Lol

They are station fairies, not attached. Designed to protect you during a wardec when you undock. They don't work... on welfare

Civil discourse is uniquely human. After all, when is the last time a pride of lions and a herd of water buffalo negotiated SOV over a watering hole? Never. Someone either gets their ass kicked or eaten. At the end of the day someone holds SOV.

I always wanted to fly down that tunnel where I see other ships passing by. Where are they going?

For the answer, look up The Mighty Jagrafess of the Holy Hadrojassic Maxarodenfoe.
