Visual variety is very important to me, both for keeping my interest, and for immersion as well (we are suppose to be fighting on thousands of planets). Its much easier to create skyboxes then terrain since there aren't any balace issues to worry about, its purely art.
After CCP's art guys showed what they were capable of with the Caldari Prime event, I thought about the things that could be done with skyboxes.
[I would like to see]
Stars and nebulae: Some planets have very low atmospheres and/or low sunlight, which means the stars and nearby nebulae should be very visible. I want to see more skyboxes with visible stars and nebulas. I would also like to see stars and nebulae as well on planets without these conditions during the nighttime. The nebulas and stars we see can be based on which region of New Eden we are in. Click here and here for pretty picture.
Moons: Many planets have moons, 1 or more. I would like to see them in the sky. Click here for pretty picture.
Auroras: The district we are fighting on could be near the magnetic North of the planet, and auroras have been observed in many planets in our solar system. I want to see them on Dust planets as well. Click here for pretty picture.
Thank you for reading. |

Might be difficult to implement shimmering aurora, however if that is possible without creating worse lag problems I'd love it.
Also, asteroid belts would be awesome. Distant galaxies and the like. |

They had had burning wreckage raining down in the skybox in the Caldari Prime event, so they are capable of making moving images. |

The skybox in the Caldari Prime event was fantastic. Definitely supporting more of this kind of thing. |

MOAR!
MOAR SKYBOX GENERATION!
MOAR!!!
Now seriously:
They might make Skyboxes randomly generated before they do terrain, since 2D art is much easier to do. |

You got my vote for this. I love astronomy and anything like it in games is always a 1up for me. It's one of the reasons I started EvE Online! |

I already said something similar in one post some time ago.
So many different planets and we get stuck with the same sky? Its What The ****.
Planets with rings and stuff like that. Would be ******* amazing.

Bird flocks... We are going to temperate planets first right? They are alive you know... And there are reports of life in New Eden:

Some animals could rat out your position if you scare them... |

I would imagine that at some point the skybox will basically be a dynamic view form the planet to the eve side- including ships going by/firing at each other/blowing UP^^!, space stations, customs stations, etc. etc. |

Uprising did a very good job of skybox colors and variety, I would like to see more, especially more nebulae and more storms. Look at this pretty storm http://25.media.tumblr.com/17596c6ee36c5db3c69555fb7b5daa11/tumblr_miwvzlAlnm1r3gb3zo1_500.gif |
