Hopefully a very simple one and something that's just "cool".
As those who have read Iain M. Banks' The Algebraist might remember, and I think is actually scientifically correct, as fleets move at "significant percentages of light speed" stars become bluer as the doppler effect causes the wavelengths to bunch up. Similarly moving away from stars they getter redder. I haven't noticed this effect in Eve, but if it doesn't exist, how easy would it be? Also has some advantages in terms of navigation - you would get more of a feeling of towards and away (yes, stars getting bigger is generally a good guide, but still).

It actually does exist in EVE, though it's very subtle.
I had some serious graphics issues a few months back when I discovered it. Rather then being a subtle color change, there were obvious semi transparent red/blue triangles in front and behind during warp (they were visible as triangles because of the graphics problems)... if you look for the change you can tell it's there.

Yup, it's there, and it's really noticeable if you're looking for it. Of course, it doesn't make any sense, since when you're in warp you're actually moving significantly faster than the speed of light. Even if such speeds were possible, you'd see the light coming towards you in the direction of flight blue-shifted to the point of being ultra energetic gamma rays (including the cosmic background radiation, which comes from space itself), while the light coming from behind would be red-shifted to the point of non-existence.
In summary: Rear view = black Front view = black, and vapourizing your ship

Edited by: Kharakan on 18/12/2006 22:07:13 I've noticed this, but I had to add that I endorse your taste in books ;)
EDIT: About 30 seconds after clicking 'post' I looked left and realised the aforementioned book is in fact on my desk, about 3 feet away

I'll keep a sharper eye out for it, and if it's there but subtle, even better, please please don't make it more obvious, I like Easter Egg programming. Maybe I should just up my gamma.

i think it would be look really cool if ccp implemented that into warp

I suppose it depends alot on your graphics card as well, but where I notice it is whene I'm in warp, zoomed out so my ship is not taking up the whole screen and then look not at the stars, but the white'ish wisps that form in warp... in front of you they're blueish and behind you red'ish

I have noticed it too, just spin your camera while in warp and compare ahead with behind.
