Hi there,

I first got the idea for this when I was orienting the star gates to point to the actual stars, a long time ago. This was a pet project that I did in a few evenings in my spare time. My hope was to bring more depth to the background and a sense of direction when traveling long distances.

I am glad you like it. To those who don't see the point: I guess I should have done something else in my spare time :)

Burn so hard all you people who cried out saying CCP wasted time on this.

awesome project, please bribe your team owner/boss/whatever that you can expand on it in your work time, there is a lot of potential for additional map functionality that could be tied into that overlay and be presented in a much (much !!) better way than they currently are

All this time and I had no idea I was looking at actual (in-game) star systems Shocked.

This is pretty impressive.

Screw the haters. Little things like this that make the game more immersive and that fact that you guys put so much time into the player base and game are reasons why I love being part of it.

Could someone explain the point of this?

It looks "pretty" but I'm having a hard time understanding the point of spending time to code that as appposed to any number of things that would actually be usefull in EVE.

Or is this where we are in EVE's life?
Getting excited over stuff that has zero useful fucntionality in the game.

Your argument is invalid
It is because all the POSsys you ever built are UGLY. You will have to improve a lot young man before we can talk about POS revamp...
