| Quote SpaceEngineer (  ) So what do you think? Keep the old font (which have some problems like redundant pixels artefacts), or use the new one?
I love the new writing, but it's true that for computers to small screens, it can be difficult thing to read. Otherwise put an option for the user to choose the writing (directly installed in the computer) and size that will.
Quote SpaceEngineer ( ) Main menu buttons are part of the interface texture.
Cool, we can make a personalized menu without changing languages.
Quote SpaceEngineer ( ) PS : yes, in-game tutorials are coming soon!
I presume it will also be tutorials with some vessels in the style of Kerbal Space Program as to orbit, rendezvous, ....

I like the font, vector-based ones even more .
Personally I would try to use a bold font for menus, maybe a couple points greater.

| Mmmm, there's something about the new menu buttons that I don't quit like in terms of looks... They kind of look like something one would make in PowerPoint for some college presentation, they look "minimalistic" but in a sort of unfinished way. I think it might be the flat look coupled with the noticeable gradient filling and low contrast. Perhaps we could use a tiny bit of glow with a more subtle gradient, or perhaps some transparency.
Born too early to explore space... But just in time for Space Engine.

| I posted some time ago how I would imagine a modern "minimalistic" menu for SE. Now I revised it a bit.
I posted it also here:
http://en.spaceengine.org/forum/21-3499-3#73794
But I have no Idea of the limitations of SE, maybe you still can't use transparent layers, different fonts and so on.

| Quote sgcommand92 ( ) I suggest using the Titillium font. It's very readable and has a modern feel that I think fits with space, science and science-fiction. It also has a complete font family and is completely free. I also use it when I do something for science-fiction art so that's why I thought of it.
It doesn't have Cyrillic letters.

No. It have no sense, because ships mechanics are in development, and ships will be excluded from the planetarium anyway.

We can no longer use the ship or it will be another option (yet with the current mechanical at least) ?
Also, for volumetric clouds, is that there will be an option for on/off the shaders in catalogs files ? Because I used the Clouds tag for one of my mods for anti-radiation shield Prosperous and also mods like JackDole using for something else for example :

I believe the idea will be "buy the game version" for that

| Sorry if this seems a question unrelated to the development, but it might be: is the algorithm that calculates planetary surface temperatures based on the parent star's luminosity?

Of course. But if you are curious why changing star luminosity in the planet editor doesn't affect planet temperature, then answer is: editor is just a debug tool.

| ^ In response to that, it would be a sweet feature if there was a button or something to "recalculate" the rest of the system after changing a star, etc.

Oh, it's not something so trivial, even though I barely post here I'm following this project for a while now, and I realized long ago that the editor does pretty much nothing.
No, my reason is that some time ago, as I was trying to personally add the then newly-discovered Proxima b, I noticed how the Temperature value was wildly off from the one given by the sources even when accounting for greenhouse effect.
I made a research and I found the wikipedia page on the matter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_equilibrium_temperature), and according to that page surface temperature must be calculated from the star's temperature, not luminosity (which obviously includes also UVs and more importantly IRs which SE as many us know does not consider). Indeed, using the formula in the "Theoretical model" section gives me both the correct Earth temperature as without atmosphere, and Proxima b's temperature according to the official sources.
I'm sorry if you knew already and you decided against it for some reason, but for safety I decided to try to report this discrepancy. I hope I am not doing something wrong.
