So, no nebulae for wormholes. PCOs screwing wormhole PI. Talks of removing vital ABC ore from wormholes.

Warm and fuzzy feeling... gone.

Great Job!

I'm somewhat and somehow disappointed of the granularity chosen for each unique backdrop. Region based granularity seems too big for my taste. At first I thought you would notice the changes in the position of nebulae at a solar system basis, each time you jump from an stargate to an other.

Yeah. Me too, though I can understand...

I guess for 'granularity' reasons, as they put it - an even better 'xmas' present would have been Constellation, rather than Region...


Subscribing this, in principle. But before complaining I will log into the test server and look if the new system is actually not up to my expectations...

(please CCP do feed your hamsters, they are so hungry they keep eating my posts).

they look great and the change is fantastic that will add the extra dimension when traveling in space.

on a side note can we have some feed back to the cap changes to leave it go over a 100 pages without any reply from a dev it only show the commitment to the players that have stayed for years and to be left in the dark.

I'm trying really, really hard not to get excited about winter.

I'd have to agree with some of the other people, shiny looking, I'm gonna have to crack out my SiSi client...

So I take it, this will only change at all on region jumps? There won't be any movement within a region? :(

Any chance that over time you'll increase granularity so that there's at least some movement of objects as you jump constellations? Or is that a wait another few years dealio (it's fine, I can see the potential technical challenges, just wishing).

Are we going to be able to see the EVE Gate in the distance when in Amarr space? You're supposed to be able to see it quite clearly from Amarr Prime.

Looks great, my only nitpick is the plan to make highsec brighter. Why? Space isn't going to conform to CONCORD's somewhat arbitrary delineation of security status. Just because CONCORD has decided to have nothing to do with 0.0 doesn't mean it's going to be darker there.

People want EVE to be as realistic as possible, this isn't the way to do it.

Wormholes already look pretty good imo ...

WHY do PCOs screw over wormholes?

ABC's removal being removed from low class w-space could suck for some, but I don't know if it will happen.

While this is true nebula form because of stuff in space, planets tend to form in said nebula because of stuff being there, the Empires formed in the space they are in because of the larger number of planets that support life and such. I don't really know the lore or what not but I am sure you can come up with some reason to explain why the Empire formed in those areas of the galaxy instead of trying to explain why the nebula formed around the empires.

Uhm... I know I'm in the minority here but... what about wormholes? I barely leave my wh these days, will that mean we see no improvement? I remember reading a dev comment once about a plan to make successive wormholes look more evil and dangerous the higher level they are. Is this still happening? Thanks.

edit: Also, on the concern that ships will not be as diverse in colours now, could you not have them reflect different colours from different coloured stars in each system - ignoring the nebulae?

There's not enough pink in the hi-sec nebulae. It's going to take away from the hello-kitty hi-sec experience. Lol

I like the current system, where I can tell what class of w-space I'm entering just by the background color.

Of course, but what *is* the background colour? I'd love to keep that which you speak of (which I also like) but at lovely high resolution like in these screenshots :)
