It was not really a criticism of Space engine, more of general observation as there a number of these games appeared in the last few years and it’s not so much the size of their universe that counts but what’s in it. As one fractal planet can pretty much ...

Nice just wish I had a computer capable of running it.One thing I would like to see in this type of games is more planet and animal life, the only game which IIRC that has ever tried to do is Ad Astra.If Borderlands can create 1 million guns using a procedural content ...

This looks great! If you could get some kind of specular reflection on the water areas you'd be done!
maybe done on the surface but to make it look right you need some cloud coverage...

would be cool to see more cities/bases over some planets randomly generated but without starports.habitable planets like Earth should be covered in stractures. don't display names to keep the clutter down. just building clusters here and there like 'shrooms in a forest...

how come there's no sticky on top of this forum to introduce newcomers to Pioneer with all the information and links and pics and stuff?

you guys should check out some dev journals that explicitly cover terrain generation for Infinity MMO.it's a very similar game in concept and it's been in development since 2005 or so. lotsa good info. for ppl who understand programming...

I have 64 bit and it seems to work fine so far...

I've been dieing waiting for this implemented. very much needed!something along the ...

you need a better video card that support shaders 3 or so...

this is exactly what this project needs. better looking planets/moonlets/asteroids. more diverce terrain generation with reallistically looking canyons, craters and rivers.best part, it's open source ;)I'd help but doubt this will compile in W7 64b...

don't let Commodore ppl hold ya back!on that note I think clouds will look prettier with GL2 as well

speaking of saved games. how come there isn't an option to delete them?

found another bug related to terrain.asteroids look super spikey.some work need to be done to reduce the uniformity of the terrain on most planets and asteroids.realistically plains will prevail over mountains and ridges on most planet types even Earth like ones...

no don't remove the cheat drive. remove gun points instead.we need something with range just for exploring.who cares 'bout the guns....

<t>is it possible to make cities reside on a flat terrain or at least flatten a certain area of the landscape around them to look more realistic and less like wierd trees?also some buildings need to be reworked to look more futuristic and practical on any planet. something like domes and more robust ...

nice. if only my screenshots worked and didn't get chopped and smeared all over
