Sun is too bright

Especially in some systems/locations the sun is up in your face.

Sure you can turn the camera, but sometimes you want to look at something in that direction, for example a rock or NPC or player ship from a certain angle, and the big sun is in your face.

Would be nice to have a button to either "turn off suns" or turn it down to a bare minimum.

This would also be good for the players who think space should be darker.

Maybe my eye is just oversensitive to light, but I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Thank you

Yes it is too bright. Hopefully we one day get to adjust visual element brightness, like we can now do sound.

Stars tend to be on the bright side.

But now they're kinda painful to stare at. So on the one hand realism achieved! On the other hand ARGH MY EYES.

I don't seem to have a problem with the sun.

The stars in EVE aren't bright. They're simply following you around the system. You can test this by warping around systems. If you warp directly at a star, it runs away from you. If you warp to the center of a solar system, the star will retreat into the "star hive" and snuff itself out so you can't find it.

If this fills you with a tangible sense of horror, that is fine, for it means you are still sane.

The above was written and posted with nothing but love in my heart for all.

I think more customisation on graphics is a good idea, my computer is OLD I would love to turn off the backgrounds and keep the active elements rendered. similarly the idea to control brightness would be a nice addition to turning of the LOD.

Really speaking its only locally produced so wont effect anything in the functional parts of the game.

Perhaps if you do not get a response here you could ask somone to help turn down the rendered brightness of certain colour ranges via your graphics card.

I'm not one to advise "hacking" the game but you could easily adapt the received graphics to disable any brightness from certain objects.

many options to fix this one, Hopefully someone who knows more then me can help you.

+1 for supporting adjustable solar brightness :D
