I wonder if ED will match the crazy scale of the star sizes that can be found.

Matching crazy star sizes
- Thread starter Jason S
- Start date
Certainly yes, they are going for 1:1 scale after all.
Well that would be great and I wonder how close they would let you get to the really big stars. And in SC even it would take some time to fly past them. Interesting ...
It should take you some time, as the largest know stars are about the size of half of our entire solar system. To a star monster of that size we aren't even ants, we would probably compare to it like molecules do to us. This makes you feel really, really, really small and insignificant in the giant scheme of things. Makes you wonder why not everyone on this planet realizes that and stops doing such insignificant things as warring and start to work together.
Nice one mate ... Here's a longer version but with Sunshine soundtrack.

And the constellations so we can find them in Elite hopefully

I was flying through one of the systems a few days ago, and suddenly realised the scale.
As I'm coming in to Dahan, slowing down from about 20c, you see the orbital paths of Wonderer, and the three "Claims" and I suddenly got an image of grains of sand on a sheet of paper. Just a few tiny grains spaced out a couple of meters apart. And that is the galaxy. It may look like a lot of matter, but it is just tiny grains spaced out really far apart.
I actually got a sense of vertigo!!
Sat at my freakin desk!!!
From a game!!!!
ED really does blow your mind

Looked at like that though, working together would also be insignificant
And now imagine flying through solar flares
I think you fly into solar flares, I'm not sure you come out the other side though...
I'm sure they will make it real size, but i'm wondering how much different it will look, we do see different size of star already, but we see them about as big in the sky as the others(just after we jumped), it might not seem bigger before you look at the numbers, like how far you are.

Yes ... p-lease
