that's why everything in a system is fixed at that place, so that the servers don't need to calculate the X,Y and Z position of every "static" in the solar system.

tbh I think you would need twice the server capacity for that.

Probably true. I dont expect this to be ever implemented. But these boards are full of dumb ideas, why not add another one?

It's a cool idea, but Grimpak's answer is why they won't do it.

That and Goonswarm would start bumping stations out of orbit and all over the solar systems. :)

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

Tilting stations of match a planet or making stations orbit planets (forgetting that it's extremely impractical) would just serve to mess up docking and undocking.

I'd just like to state that seemingly insignificant changes such as this actually make EVE feel fresh and new.

As long as we are all so excited about immersion, I personally think we need some binary star systems. Being able to warp to two stars in a system would be awesome :D not to mention the looks.... Statistically binary star systems in our universe are pretty common, why are there non in New Eden?

Confirming little changes like this make a difference. Bittervets either truly don't care, or are afraid to admit it, but as for myself I like the small changes that enhance immersion. Always wondering why there's such a distinct sense of up and down in space...

Actually, in the very early days of EVE, planets DID orbit the suns. It was removed as it was a lot of overhead and added little to the game mechanics I believe.

spaceflight in EVE takes place in solar systems

solar systems rotate around an axis

hence, 'UP' and 'DOWN'

THis was explained somewhere in RP terms that the stargates could only be 'anchored' or work in systems with one star. something to do with gravity

Actually it would be awesome if things actually changed position in the solar system based on their orbit :)

They only need to calculate the new positions at downtime, everything stays put after that until the next downtime :P

Well orienting bookmarks to the closest celestial wouldn't work , as people have bookmarks for things like "warp in at 100 from x gate".

The only bookmarks that would get messed up really are instas, and you can just remake those.

then CCP would need to increase DT.P

Pretty much… and any old bookmarks that are now incorrectly placed can be re-purposed as warp-in or close-in-scan bookmarks, so while there might be a bit of work, nothing would really be lost.

Damn the book marks change station orientations and have them start orbiting!

Why Can't I have a picture signature.

Also please support graphical immersion, bring back the art that brought people to EvE online originaly.

To hell with the bookmarks, we can always make more of them! Though, I agree that orbiting planets, moons, and binary stars would probably drag the system down more than any player is really willing to deal with.
