The new warping effect looks great, the end seems to swirl a bit which makes warping not seem like a perfectly straight line. However, ships in warp don't move whatsoever. They stay fixed and static while warping.

I'm sure it's been proposed before, but we'd like to see the ship do a little bobbing weaving pitching and rolling while in warp. It doesn't have to be dramatic and obvious. Just a little sway in this way or that gives the appearance of a ship navigating through space.

Not to be a wet blanket and all...but in all of the major sci-fi flicks that show some sort of warp/hyperspace/light speed travel...ships move in a consistent straight line direction. Prob due to the fact its just a wee bit hard to turn at such massively high speeds.

Even then...space is "bending" around you....not you bending around space.


The only time I've seen such a thing was in Freespace 1 where you end up taking on the lucifer class destroyer in a starfighter in the midst of a subspace trip....but that was enough to make most people toss their cookies and it got old after about 30 secs.



Now bobbing and weaving in real space...when you turn...maneuver...etc? THAT would be great.

Can't...resist.....

DO A BARREL ROLL!

Immelman Turn!

Now that would be awesome! but if you want that in a game, play one of the flight sims.

Would have to say no to that in EVE. After all it's space, so gravity defying turns etc are not necessary for obvious reasons.
