So it's PF that we warp through stations, moons and planets? Cool. My ship can pass through solid matter. Wicked.

That's because of how warp drive works, not graphics bugs or whatever. So yeah, it's PF.

As for the topic at hand, it is annoying when they do things like this, but I bet it's kinda low on their priorities....

Actually, no. We fly through solid stuff because it'd take too much time, needless server side processing etc. to have the models circle the objects. CCP actually said so, I think during one of the fanfest questionnaires few years back. It's more about convenience and playability than PF in that case.

Because most of us do not spend that much time staring at planets, nor care much what they look like graphically, or interpret that as PF?

That one.

Do this...

Open up Pator, then Matar on planetview.

Spin the planet, if lights appear on the water then it's le b0rked.

No one is reporting it because it's purely aesthetic.

No because of...

Like in OP, pre and post Incursion patch. Bug people are saying it's client side, but I think others are noticing it, just not reporting as it's not an issue for them.

All the pictures I took of the Fed highsec worlds are now broken, as well. It's an issue with the light, sea and land layers, but I'm not a 3D artist or anything. I really doubt that all the highsec worlds suddenly became arcology worlds.

You mean like when they flooded Pator? Yeah, I get bitter when I think about it, so I prefer not to think about it. That's my answer, anyway. :)
