This is one for the future but:

What do people think of the idea of a sort of afk camera pan thing... similar to what happens in fallout where if you're afk for a certain period it starts to pan the camera. Like... if you're in space for a certain time it starts to focus on the different nebulae with information about it? maybe it could be extended to different things on grid with you etc... It could come up with an overlay like you see in the chaos theory trailer with information about what the camera's looking at...

opinions?

Edit: was the butterfly effect trailer: Trailer

This is intentional, since you are not fully inside the nebula yet, but just on the edge. If the granularity is ever increased this will become more obvious.

*signed*

also, a few minnie station/gate structures now look pitch-black, naturally the image quality/skybox corners need to be fixed.

The only thing that isn't a glitch but SHOULD be worked on is planet rings. If they are backlit by a bright nebula they don't look the way they should, and I have the feeling that that isn't a *glitch* the way the aforementioned problems are technical glitches, but this seems to result from the way you made your art assets ground-up and might be a ***** to fix...

as for the star map, i just want to see written landmark names that much names like "Gunningap" or "chord of the elements" as well as to remove irrelevant/unused landmark names" to let people know what they are looking at or for and to instruct potential site-seers what parts of 0.0 to cov-ops over to. Utilizing the already-existing landmark system would be ideal because it is already there and presumably easy to implement, and would give travelers in space a vague idea of the location of the nebulae that they use as reference points, without having to state in a set-in-stone way the exact placement and shape of the nebulae or do very much technical work on your end for something that impacts the majority of gameplay so little.

great work

second.

I have roamed New Eden around and I can tell that I don't understand some things. There something like 20 nebulas, and I should be able to see each one ofl them if it not hidden by another nebula.

For example, imagine you are in Insmother.

1. If you look East. you should only see the Galaxy Edge. Check.
2. If you look West, you should see a lot of things. You should see that big red papillon that probably is the Gunnungagap, that is visibl. Beyond it, you should see the red nebulas of minmatar space. None of them are visible.
3. A bit further and a bit more toward north I think there should be the whitish nebula of caldari space, it should be at least partiallyvisible. It is not.
4. Facing North-West, you should see that whitish nebula (in Perrigen Falls?) that you can see from Etherium Reach, and in the distance you should ses the yellow and green nebula you can see in the northern regions . Both are not visible.
5. If you look south or south west you should be able to see that yellow-brownish nebula in Curse, the Amarr nebulas, and the Green nebula in the south east of new eden...

I hope that the chioces of what is visible and what is not are not final... it's a bit inconsistent and thus immersion breaking.

I for one love the darkened ships.

Love the darkened ships too... when the only light sources are the sun and nebulae, of course it's gonna be dark!

The vapor sea (or the pool of radiance, i'm not sure what is that thing in the south) is visible from curse, and it's as distant as the Domain region (where the Amarr nebula is located), so I think that the amarr nebula should be visible as the vapor sea.

But even if that's not the case, since there is nothing between the amarr nebula and Curse, I should be able to see at least something, like a little faint stain in the distance (faint. maybe, but the size is given by geometrical calculations and if i'm right is appreciable anyway). Instead, there isn't anything when you look west.

In Genesis there's what looks to be a crease in one of the brownish nebula textures.
