Creepy System Chart in VR

[Slowfiddler]

Does any one else find the system map really rather creepy in VR? An infinite expanse of total darkness with a vertical wall of grid squares extending nearly as far as you can see, a huge, angry-looking star in front of you and weird creaking, moaning and whistling noises from the planets. I have also seen, often but not always, eerie looking orange blobs that seem to slowly morph and grow. I like to leave the system map asap...

Love it though, ED is amazing in VR.

ed. What the heck are those orange blobs btw?

Ah, the blobs. Don't look too closely at the blobs. Don't stare too deeply into the void.

Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

You're really not helping with my system map phobia here.

Where is that quote from?

The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath

(I'd recommend reading the summary https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dream-Quest_of_Unknown_Kadath as the book's a bit hard-going haha)

Yeah I get what you're saying here. It's a bit unnerving to be teleported into non-corporial-ness. I get the same thing in FSS at full zoom out (and to a lesser extent, the gal map).

My big problem with the system map in VR is actually that moving the cursor is so slow. My controls have been the same since before I got my headset and it all works perfectly normal in FSS and Gal Map, but for some reason system map moves super slow when I scroll the cursor around. Why is that, do you think? Any way to change it?

No idea, but it is the main reason why I keep using the mouse for FSS, DSS, and the system map, the problem is less noticeable in the galactic map.

I don't get that feeling in the system map, as long as I keep looking it in "2D". The Onery drives me nuts.
