yep, i noticed it, but still dont go
what is strange, is that stars are packed by plan.... i sent a friend who was close to take a pic from a special star, which seam placed for seeing all star's plan togheter (will add it)
i have as theory :
look all the plan togheter (as my friend try for me)
look each plan separate, and report the stars on papaer (can form synbols/letters)

Pics are from CMDR Ragnar Wulfson, and are made from the white star alone in the axis of the cluster, bubble's side.
We were thinking about this cluster close to the elite symbol....
Space mystery !!
I plan to go myself in order to copy each "plan"

The stars are in neat rows and columns. If it's not a bug then it's put in there by hand. It's gotta be a bug.
The Eagle nebula is ~6000LY away from Sol. It's a stellar nursary, and the newborn stars are blowing the nebula's gas & dust away. Most astronomers think the "Pillars of Creation" have already been destroyed, blown apart by the stellar wind of their own creations.
The Pillars of Creation.
Looks like columns to me.
I think it's intentional by FD.
Thanks for the reply. Your right, the Eagle Nebula would probably be blown away by cosmic winds and super novas by the year 3300, but that doesn't answer my question about whether nebula are in the game yet. Not every nebula would be gone, and a few new ones would likey have appeared. Are there any plumes of gas and stellar dust that we can see and warp around and/or into? Or is everything in the galaxy still just a hazy shadow with some color in it?
Pretty standard fare for large projects.
Bugs are ranked by priority and severity. It's not uncommon for bugs of low priority and low severity to exceed the one year mark.
Especially if the fix is "move about fifty stars several light years", which would probably cause all sorts of chaos...
Indeed; procedural generation can be a headache to fix.
Nebulae are very diffuse. Space is mostly vacuum. Clouds in space are only slightly more dense than a vacuum. They only look bright to our cameras because from this distance, they're in a small area, and we take very long exposures.
Sorry, but the Star Trek vision of nebulae just isn't real.

Thanks to this game, I can now point to Alioth in the sky, and say "That's Alioth."

And you can tell people "I know, because I've been there" ....... as they walk away, whispering
On my way to Eagle's Landing in Eagle Sector, I decided to make a little side trip to that cluster of stars. Kind of neat to see. Only stopped off at one star, but was wondering if there is a black hole in the midst of that group, pulling them in together.
No black hole that I know of, it's just a big stellar nursery.
Even if it is a bug, too late to change it. It was too late to change it the moment the game went live.
Uhh......FD has fixe other stars, what would make these any different ? Other than there's a couple hundred or so of them.
Uh guys I know the reason. It's the same as the 2Mass line (search NGC), this is real data from astronomy surveys: Google some of the system names.

The reason they are in a line is due to issues with astronomy getting an exact enough depth measurement so they have a larger margin of error and therefore look odd to us. Ironically they are the most accurate in game as they are validated by real data.
