EVE General Discussion

I agree, perhaps the 3D scene should be completely black when inside a planet.

eithery they need to make the warp tunnel to the point it makes it hard to see stuff outside of it,

or they turn all planets and moons into warp bubbles.

Just add sparkly, shiny effects when we're warping through a planet.
If the game admits what is happening, a player will know there's an explanation.

I asked months ago on the old forums for CCP to relocate planets and moons on grid. Basically it's a low priority.

The planets and moons were dropped there when the systems were created, years and years ago... the dev had short insight into the future when placing random planets directly in common warp aligns. this was simply kind of lazy and slutty development.

They should have fixed it during Dominion, before Tyrannis rolled Custom Offices out; now CCP just added more time-consuming fixes.

I'm kind of a perfectionist so it bothers me even after playing EVE for years. its a common fixable bug and disregarded.

You do realize that your brain doesn`t have the ability to perceive that kind of information (a black image when passing through a planet - also other objects moving with a relative speed greater than your ship) Think about when you are in a train, and another one passes in the opposing direction; how many faces can you recognize? Think now if you are traveling with enormous speeds. The angular speed is great when obj are closer, and small when they are far - as the sun.

This is the same thing as the 25 frame movie, your retina sense it, but your brain doesn`t receive it.


Also passing through matter is perfectly plausible. You have atm passing through you and Earth, thousands of particles with 0 electronic charge, thus not affecting you at all, and they aren`t obstructed or diverted (maybe except by the gravitational field) at all.

Thinking that when you reach warp speed, your mass drops near 0 and assuming that you are able to drop your electronic charge also, you are able to pass through planets, stars etc.

Fine, but you're still in the middle of a planet, looking at ugly outlines for a couple of seconds (because you're always accelerating or decelerating when you pass through a celestial - never at full warp). We need something - anything - to make it look like the game acknowledges that you're passing through a solid, massive object, and not a gigantic balloon of one way glass.

As for curving warp paths, that would be awesome. However, since NPCs don't even have the AI complexity to manoeuvre around asteroids, what hope have we of our ships computing warp paths around celestials? Even if it were possible, it would probably mess up the way we can align to a point, ready to warp to it.

Well, as I said it before, physics, the structure of planets, mater, everything is there, but your brain perceives it like some residual frame in your peripheral field of vision. You have passed through the planet when you actually sense that in your brain as a visual, which combines with the current frame that is open space. There are tons of visual effects on the web, called visual illusions. Search it and you will be blown of how your eyes and brain work.

*COUGH*
