| Quote Voekoevaka (  ) That M9.9 star is wonderful !
Agreed! It looks so warm and inviting, even though it is one of the coldest types of ordinary stars in the universe, ironically. The new decimal numbers in the star class are also pretty cool, this is the first time I see them in general(didn't know stellar class can have a decimal).
Also, finally Y dwarfs! They barely look different from most gas giants and seem to emit very little light. Question now is - do they ever get generated as solitary stars?(since T dwarfs don't currently)
Also, I noticed a small, but nevertheless great improvement - the temperature is no longer rounded up to the nearest 10, but it is accurate down to 1 kelvin. Very nice!

| SpaceEngineer, you should create a separate atmospheric model for procedural gas giants because it would allows us to go deeper into the giants.

| Quote SpaceEngineer ( ) Upgrades in cool star rendering. Stars are red dwarfs M8.1, M9.0, M9.9. Brown dwarfs are L6, T5, Y5. Note what late stars have almost the same size. And yes, SpaceEngine now supports decimal subclass numbers like "8.1". Solar spots are upgraded a bit also. There must be smooth transition in appearance between coldest M-dwarfs (M9.9) and hottest Y-dwarfs, but I didn't implement it yet.
Wow looks great can't wait until the next patch! Keep up the great work space engineer!

| Very nice to have a smoother distribution of stars, and the lower mass dwarfs look gorgeous. Great work!

T dwarfs are generated. Did you used star browser to find them? I added Y dwarfs as star system also, but they are planets technically (planemo). After implementing Planemo, I probably move Y dwarfs to planets class (and rename their satellites to moons).

No, SE uses Eric Bruneton's atmospheric scattering code, which was designed for Eearth's thin and transparent atmosphere. Gas giants required another approach.

I can't seem to find them:
Possibly a bug you fixed in the version you are using?

| Use smaller search radius. There is probably no room for them in the table.

Yes. T dwarfs don't generate in the latest patch, but SpaceEngineer fixed it.

| Fantastic new stars! But brown dwarfs I'd recommend adding gigantic aurora, seen the latest scientific ...
Brown Dwarf' s Auroras
Sorry for my English! ;)

| I haven't tested anything of the new S.E. 0.9.7.4 because I know my mind will be blown apart once it's released.
Speaking of spectral subclasses... How about adding the additional luminosity subclasses and marginals?
For example: Betelgeuse, M1-M2 Ia-Iab
Or a procedural example: O7.4 Ib-IIa
M5 IIIab
K0 IV-V
G8 IIIb
B0.5 V-IV
G2.5 II-III
Etc... etc... And maybe change the subdwarfs from luminosity class ''VI'' to sd and esd (for extreme subdwarfs).
Like M8 V or sdM8 and esdM8. Just a suggestion though... Keep going Vladimir

| Look at the acceleration in the information tab.
Also, when i take a screenshot without GUI, the orbits, marker and labels showed up in the screenshot, is that a bug?

| Those cool new upgrades to cool star rendering are pretty cool.

| Would it be anywhere near accurate for the hotter brown dwarfs to somehow combine the look of gas-giant bands and stellar convection cells?

This is uncertanity or variability. Both are not supperted yet.

Already did that.

It's not a bug. They are not parts of GUI, but parts of the scene.

Maybe not in theis version. I also want to make them realistic, but didn't find any scientific article about numerical modelling of the BD surface.
