I'm not entirely sure what you are talking about.
The system's main stars all have a variety of different lensflares.
Stars on the background skybox are divided into 2 categories: purely cosmetic dots that have no relation to the cluster, and actual stars of the cluster, which have sparkling and varying lensflares that are not just dots. This distinction makes it easy to figure out which stars in the sky you can actually reach one way or another and stars that have no significance whatsoever.

Furthermore, if you look at starfield pictures, you do see the same distinction between dot stars far away and starry stars closer to the viewer.
And in addition, judging by a couple of screenshots from ED/SC, they also use mainly dots as stars and some starry closeby stars on the skybox.

Silly people, assuming physics in New Eden are the same as they are in our galaxy.

As with all sci-fi, the answer clearly is "due to the presence of xxxx natural phenomena such as the appearance of stars is altered from what those living in the Milky Way might find typical"

Problem solved.

Solve the 'submarines in space' schema before this, ffs

Just like a person from the Milky Way would say.

Well it's not directly about realism but profitability. I get that the planets in k-space a shuffled so you might need to go to other systems to make all the PI products but I don't get why they are doing the same in w-space, where you have zero ability to go to the system where you have the planet you are missing.

W-space is the most dangerous already, making PI should not be that difficult there. You still need to come out of the hole to profit from it or get it all taken away by suddenly spaceships.

Oh I was talking about thermodynamic laws that state that in a cold environment like deep-ish space a bajillion klometers away from the next heating my cause a planet to cool down, not heat up.

Pluto our new dwarf planet and no longer number 9 in the our system seems to not have any active volcanoes out in the dark, how almost surprising.
It would stance to reason that any solar system with a similar small star like ours would behave the same way.

Nope, I'm not disagreeing on any particular point. It is more than passing strange, hence while I chuckle. A brown dwarf could have iron rain on it, it's so hot, at any distance from the primary. A Jupiter could still be hot, in the sense of radiating more heat than it's receiving from the primary, but it wouldn't be a primary unless the system is very young. Stars should be round, as unless they're spinning at some high percentage of break-up speed, like Regulus and Altair, stars are so close to hydrodynamic equilibrium that our sun equilibrates from a disturbance on the order of minutes. Something 600,000 km equilibrates from a disturbance from equilibrium in minutes. That's just....wow.

All that said, I can see why they took shortcuts. Not only is it unlikely that they have an astronomer or astophysicst on staff (though I'd happily take that job, CCP, if it's available, just send me a message ), there's also just the expectations due to all the SF most of us have read. Sure we've only recently discovered that there can be a Tattooine (a planet orbiting a binary primary), but would it have really been odd to find such a planet in a game even before that discovery? All I'm saying is that I'm more amused when I come across things like what you describe than I am disappointed. I'd honestly be shocked and surprised if they did take pains to try to get all this right. After all, who really has?

Oh, and as for W-space, I really can't make any claims there. I've never been there. I suck at scanning down even the simplest things, much less the wormholes to get there, and I'm figuring, from what I've heard, I'll lose anything I take in there, so it just hasn't piqued my interest enough to spend the effort needed to get there.

Every single system star in Eve is encased in a dust cloud making it look like

You do navigation in Eve via the star map, not by looking out of the window.

Laws.
As far as we can tell now, at the subatomic level an effect can precede a cause. Time can fluctuate with speed and proximity to mass. When we go to measure something, it changes such that we can't observe it in an unobserved state.

Basically, the universe only follows its laws when it knows we're watching. Or it doesn't follow these laws at all and our perception that it does is a complete illusion.
Maybe we're completely wrong about everything, and in the grand scheme of things our knowledge of the universe hasn't progressed much since we first discovered a pointy rock tied to a stick is a half-decent weapon.

All I am willing to state as a "law" is that I love how absurdly complicated physics is.
I wouldn't trade it for anything.

All that said, I would enjoy seeing a gravitational multiplying effect when you see stars on the other side of other supermassive objects. I know the distances and masses aren't great enough to see the rest of the galaxy from different perspectives within the same system, but as Bumble said, let's talk about subs in space before we complain about realism.
Warping and ship spinning could be totally hypnotic.

Best if you play the game a bit, and try and navigate via looking out of the window at the lens flared stars.

Again, this makes no sense. The stars in-game already do the effect you're describing and so far in this thread you've said nothing to clarify what you mean so that your suggestion makes sense. One sentence retorts certainly aren't helping your case.
