I think EVE would do with more "subtle" and dark backdrops, and more dramatic use of shadow and light. As in being bathed in light close to a star (which is pretty good already) opposed to seeing yourself engulfed in shadow at the dark side of a planet on the far edge of a system.
Variation in how high orbit stations are placed in would also be nice, sometimes having a huge planet hanging over you covering the whole screen.
Just thoughts, probably been mentioned before :) |

Dunno what the impacts the shadowing would have on graphics cards... though you could probably just figure out the shadow level once per grid and apply it to everything... Also, you don't mention it specifically, but light should be reduced alot as distance increases. RL its a Distance^2 relationship.
Anway, I support anything that increases lighting variety. |

That's a good point. I'd especially like to see the dark side of things blend in with the background more.

This has my full support, I think the space enviroment is far too bright in all systems. It's OK if some are a bit brighter with nebulas etc. but it's just too much in general as it is.
I also agree with the OP that it should be a fairly dark spot in the shadow of a planet or moon. Currently the only difference to open space is that you can't see the sun. |

Most systems are like flying in clouds. Enough already, give me dark space, distant twinkling stars, and a feeling of loneliness and impending doom..... |

Edited by: Kavin Alavandar on 10/10/2008 18:54:36 I'd like to mention something that I've noticed is often overlooked when discussing the nebulous environment of the EVE galaxy:
There are very nebulous galaxies beyond the Milky Way, particularly smaller galaxies, which are often younger, richer, and denser. The EVE galaxy is clearly the latter two, but not obviously younger than the Milky Way. However, throw in plenty of dark matter encompassing the EVE galaxy, slowing its expansion over the 15 billion years that it seems to have been expanding (judging by its oldest stars), and you have an environment very much like what we see in-game.
A very current rule for science-fiction: when in doubt, dark matter did it. |

I would like to amend that quote with: "And if it's not physically possible according to today's most brilliant physicists, the universe gets a physics patch some time between now and then."

I tend to agree, IMO the backgrounds are way too bright for being in deep space. |

I think that is a great idea, in the dark distance where you mission, its creepy and dim, and near the sun, bright and blinding. __________________________________________________ |

and you have been in space?
have you ever seen real photos of how bright and colorful the universe is?
stuck out in the backwoods of the milky way as it were, sol is semi in the hicks, so we dont really see all that it is.

There, fixed that for you. Having a few shiny spots with the rest just having stars in the background would be good.

I think this ios a great idea. Every system has pretty much the same background if not to mention the moons. We need some variety. Planets, moons need some fix as well.
