What do you thinking about having planets, moons, stations, etc. orbiting around planets and the sun?

ambivalent on this one ...

perhaps we should implement a search function on the forums...

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

FAR too much server overhead and dev work to create a 'feature' which would be unnoticeable at best and a PITA at worst. There's just no reason for it to be in the game.

And, as Velicitia indicated, it's been mentioned before ... multiple times.

Not sure how heavy that would be on servers part, but this could be done so they dont orbit in real time (which would be kinda pointless anyway), but their coords are changed accordingly after each DT / weekly.

Yes, please learn to search the forums before posting. Also, this is a "poll", not a feature suggestion, so it should be in GD at best. Although it shouldn't be here at all...

Yes...I think it would be very cool but as stated above the overhead on the servers would be to much. Unless CCP finds a way to make this kind of change happen without that kind of server overhead I would say it won't ever happen. Never know though...CCP seems pretty good at fixing wierd things lately.

What would happen to a Dread in seige mode if the POS is moving away or even towards him as it is rotating around the moon or moving with it?

Hell, what about ships inside the POS shields that are just sitting there? Would you have to anchor your ship to the POS or keep it orbiting the POS?

Bounties for all! https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2279821#post2279821

Someone wrote out a really long proposal for this a while back. My answer: no. No way. There was a big long discussion in that thread. If someone wants to bother looking it up, you'll see all my arguments against the idea.

I think it would be too much work for very little gain. If CCP has enough resources to handle it then I would say go for it, but it's really nothing but eye-candy.
