Where are the space tornadoes??

The system was supposedly hjoramold on youtube, but theres nothing there :(

Oh, I perfectly understand, Hal Morsh — a mission like this requires courage, skill, and heroism… qualities you are clearly lacking. Have you forgotten you're one of the bloody immortals!?

Those are now gone. We have the space nebula now instead.

I personally wish that some Wspace systems had gotten that background, since I was personally never in one of those systems.....

im sure there's some deadspace somehwere that still has that background.

There used to be a green background like that in one of the level 3 or 4 pve combat missions. It's been about 3 years since i ran missions though so unsure if it still exists. Ii'm sure it was the one that has some sort of deadly gas in it so you have to get in and GTFO quickly? Or something like that.

It was in Recon 3/3 and it looked awesome. Got removed when they re-did the skyboxes iirc. Guess somewhere along the line space weather got canned.

RIP the Recon 3/3 toxic cloud, it looked awesome.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

There are still missions with toxic clouds, but no cool animated backrounds.

Space still looks nice, but those things looked cool.

aww i LOVED the space tornadoes in the background of recon 3/3 it looked incredible, it would be nice if they were brought back in as random space weather phenomenon around Eew Eden like for certain areas of space for random amounts of time from couple of hours to days maybe even weeks with various effects on ships

Ah yes, the spacenado!

I remember the first time I saw that it actually scared me.


They were in a mission (Recon .... 3? I think) where you have to run a gauntlet through a single mission room as your tank breaks from waves of debris and such.

Once someone managed to warp a bunch of noobs into that mission room, some kind of scam I think "get a free ship" or something.


The mission is still around but the spacenados are gone. Hopefully they will return someday.

Bring back DEEEEP Space!

That's actually a wormhole as Einstein predicted they'd be shaped, or formed. This view is if you're passing by one. The ends, of course, are hidden from view. With the advent of actual wormhole space, CCP had to modify their graphics to match what wormholes actually look like. Since they are the bending and warping of actual time/space, they'd present no visual evidence of their presence, unless of course, you look straight into one (from either end). There, they resemble a toilet (loo) in mid flush.

The right to free speech doesn't automatically carry with it the right to be taken seriously.

The new skyboxes look fantastic, but it was a shame the tornado background in Recon 3/3 was taken out as a consequence.
The first time I ran that mission all those years ago I thought 'He! no combat, no fighting, just fly fast from A > B and collect.
Yeah, right.... gas cloud, omni damage every several seconds, doubled DMG every cycle.......

My shuttle didn't get far......Oops

So you see OP, unfortunately I can inform you that as far as I know the tornado's do not exist any more in game. Sad

If they haven't changed the COSMOS missions, there used to be one in one of the Minmatar space missions as I recall.

I remember long ago one of advanced combat tutorials (the one where you have to race to the object while taking damage) had space tornadoes, I kinda miss those.
