Soft Particles on Gas Clouds

Soft particles/ surfaces already exist in EVE. They are the reason that the engine glare does not clip through the ships on the higher settings. This is a very nice addition. I feel it can be expanded to other things and allow the game to look better.

Right now where I feel the games graphics really take away from the experience is how terrible the gas clouds clip with objects. It is hard to illustrate with pictures and looks much worse in motion, but here is a screenshot of what happens.

Particle Clipping

For those of you who do not know the effect, it can be seen in this picture here.

Example

In conclusion, it would be nice if they expanded the 'soft particles' to other particles in the game such as gas clouds which look quite bad with all of the clipping they experience.
