| It appears rocks/planets on planets has won the pole. Will they be implemented into the next update?

| I doubt it. I think that poll it's useful to see what is considered a priority by people, but I suspect that rocks on planets need serious work to be implemented. Not that other goals are less formidable :).
Since it's on the list, probably SpaceEngineer has started gathering what he needs, but there could be many features to implement in the engine first in order to reach that specific goal.

| Hey Space Engineer, Please add the ability to add rings to a planet, that would save you time looking for planets with rings and and stuff. And BTW also add a Star/moon/planet/dwarf planet/dwarf moon creator, that would be so cool, if you add this, thanks!

| Just wondering, I'm new to space engine so how would I move to one of the procedurally generated stars/galaxies? They dont appear on the f3 menu when I type in their names, Is there something else I have to do?
Wow!

You have to type in the entire identification number, for example 'RG 0-8-12883494-1095'.
It appears no list in the F3 Menu.
Don't forget to look here.

I still don't understand, I've typed the entire number into the f3 menu and it says object not found. Do I need to type it into somewhere else?
Wow!

| 6EQUJ5, if you're sure you've typed correctly, then it could be that your SE version is different from that one from where that name came from.
Due to SE procedural generation characteristics, at the moment those procedural objects may change the name from a Space Engine version to another, or not exist at all.

| 6EQUJ5,
The identification number that I have cited as an example, comes from SpaceEngine version 0.974 RC2.

| Will the S.E. be comparable or fully operable in either one of Mircosoft Windows 8.1 or 10? I am keeping Windows 7 for much longer time because it is best for S.E.

| I'm using SE version 0.9.7.4 RC2 with no problems on a laptop with Windows 10 64bit, with 4GB ram and an Nvidia 940M with 2GB vram. Others as well.
Sooner or later you'll have no choice anyway

How so? Do you think that SpaceEngine one day runs no longer on Windows 7? As it no longer runs under XP? I hope this still takes a couple years!
I want as long as possible avoid to use this spyware program called Windows 10!

| Well, on a serious note, Windows 7 extended support will end in 2020, so no more updates. Even now Microsoft is releasing major fixes only.
Having seen how much is XP targeted by malicious software rest assured that W7 will have the same treatment and I'd suggest to change to a still maintained operating system before that date or otherwise isolate the PC from the net.
If there is need of an old software that runs only with an old operating system, which is usually the reason why someone is stuck with it, running a virtual machine with VirtualBox or similar is a preferable solution.
If you're stuck with a computer that cannot support Windows versions newer than 7, Linux and opensource software will extend its lifetime until an ultimate hardware failure will happen.
This from a general point of view, a gamer's choice is not that flexible anyway, game producers need to keep up with newer operating systems. All the more, Microsoft aggressive stance on W10 adoption makes its point of view on older software (and pirated contents) crystal clear.
As for me, the moment I'll find a way to make use of the Nvidia graphic chipset in my laptop with my beloved linux distribution, I'll evaluate SE performances under Wine emulation and if I'll be satisfied, bye bye Windows 10.

| I am considering also to switch to Linux.
And by 2020 there might be a Linux version of SpaceEngine!
