Anyone seen anything like this before?

I was flying between systems near Cygnus. Superimposed on the standard speed streaks was something that looked like sleet when you're driving at speed. Then it faded out but a little while later it reappeared! It's as though there's something there in open space in patches that you can fly through. But its not a local nebula.

When I slowed to a stop the speed streaks behaved as they usually do but the 'space sleet' just slowed and stopped - the piccy below was taken when I was stationary

I've seen that a few times before. I always figured it was one of the 'quirks' (aka. minor bug not worth fixing) of the Evoverse.

If it looks cool, why "fix" it?

True story. Random dust clouds will happen.

Hello,

Similar to the effects of flying through planetary rings?

Nope - planetary rings only have streaks when you're moving, though the blurriness looks similar!

I've encountered this phenomenon too Dave. A while back in the Sol system. Just as you said... apparently random patches of sleet/ice particles.

Another wonder of the Evoverse - next time I find them I'll see if you can mine them!

Yup Its a cool thing to see, hear patter on the hull!

I think I saw it in Hidden Rucker or Pearl quadrant.
