| You know, it's stuff like this that add's more backing to the "virtual universe" theory.
If we can already create an entire universe with planets and moons and stars in 2014...imagine what will be possible 20 years from now...200 years from now.
Would it be that crazy to think that we're THAT far off from creating a living and breathing virtual universe? This game...this space engine...is that first stepping stone. This is what will evolve. This is what will become some creatures life 500 years from now.
It's inevitable.

| And Vladimir and his associates should be extremely proud that he's leading this planet in this project, AndroidVegeta. So far, I have not seen a universe generator with the perfect balance between physics, simulation and beauty, like Space Engine. I have faith that Space Engine will be around at least 20 years from now, and it will be at a stage we could not possibly perceive at this point in time. Kind of makes you wonder if our universe is some other, alternate universe SpaceEngineer's computer project... I guess we'll never know. Anyway, I believe this is a bit off topic, so sorry, guys. Moving on now.

| With all these features, i'm amazed that this isn't 0.9.7.5!
Due to the way lava works I assume that means some worlds might be highly volcanic while still having life. Although that old lava planet still might be of use in the form of representing a chthonian planet, which when I first saw believed it was.

| No it isn't. Animated lava isn't possible with the way (procedural) spaceengine create planet , or it would kill your CPU. Liquid flows are very costly to animate in general.

No, but it will be someday.

Not really depending on how you do it. There have been many games that pull off fluids wonderfully, a great example is From Dust.

| From Dust is on a very small scale though. Don't get me wrong, it's great, but the playfields are pretty limited.

| You can see lava flows page 25 & 27 of this thread, however, the liquid won't flow and it's impossible (for now) to model rivers of any sort.
I recommend you read post #403 for more information about this issue !

I think that's the only trailer comming. 0.9.7.2 seems so close to release, that working on a new trailer would just be taking extra time.
Love SpaceEngine!

| Great rift video. Glad to hear DK2 will work on 0.9.7.2 from another post I read. I just had one slight concern, and that was regarding 0.9.7.2 possibly not having a cockpit as a "frame of reference" option in VR mode. Please try this demo out with the 0.4.4 runtime in direct mode and try various cameras opions to see what I mean. You can kind of get a sense of how important it is here: https://mega.co.nz/#!wcRUm....LnzqzrE
Will there be an option for a cockpit with a body avatar in rift mode? I feel it's one of the most important things for VR in space (for not only presence but preventing motion sickness). I know there is some motion parallax of moving past planets for 3D effect there, and some 3D effect close to a planetary surface with nearby objects, and atmospheric perspective. But feel in space only that one small step of adding a frame of reference is pretty crucial in VR, since stereo vision is so short and of because vection. This is really starting to look incredible btw! I Can't wait.
Edit: Interesting video from Oculus Connect on vection, why cockpit are important in VR, frame of reference http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DgfiDEqfaY&t=28m7s This guy from Oculus is going to explain it way better than I ever could.

| I played this demo, but wrong FOV (it was designed for DK2, but I have DK1). I can't say what I have motion sickness in SpaceEngine. Only if approaching fast to a planet surface. "Frame of reference" is not important there too. Despite on infinite distance to objects in 90% of time (= no monoscopic view), Oculus Rift allows to observe space with real FOV and full freedom of head rotation. The most epic thing is approaching a planet: it grows and grows in you view, but you still can't feel the distance - this gives the true sense of the scale.

| Hey,
Kudos for the big work you're doing SpaceEngineer, I honestly didn't exept some of those neat features to be implemented for 0.972. You have my full support!
Nice trailer btw.
Now, myself being afraid to come across a black hole, I wanted to know if it was possible to have an option for disabling / enabling them, just in addition to the stars / clouds / nebulas / comets and any other object that you can already disable?
Sorry if I broke the law.
Thanks!
