| The point stars in constellations are usually bright or distinct stars which could be tens or hundreds of light years away, so you can't really have a cut off point that's less than say, a thousand light years off (I might be exaggerating a little with the thousand light years off, I don't know the average or typical distance of all constellation point stars)
A better cut off point would be to use the apparent magnitude with and without the planets atmospheric extinction effect.

I guess you're right. Still, making your own constellations would be cool once ground settlements are implemented.
Personally, I always thought constellations were kind of stupid since most of the times they're depicted 90% of the lines are not even connected to stars. The actual shapes are too ambiguous.
(Kimb) (off topic!!) Anything new at the Tower of Three?
Yes, this is off topic; no, there's nothing new with it.
I usually post new stuff on my website (signature).

| Updated graphics settings menu. A lot of settings! It will be expanded a bit before the release. Note the listboxes for choosing the config of the lens flares and ghosts effects.
Lens flare and ghost now are "dynamic" - they will rotate and change their brightness depending on the position of the sun on the screen. All effects are adjustable in the lens flare config.

| Is solar system generation going to be overhauled in 0.97, or is it going to be saved for later?
Careful. The PLATT Collective has spurs.

This is a mode on how to compute lighting color - none, once and update for every few frames

So the slider adjusts the update frequency of the color, not the intensity of the lighting?

Yes please, if you can!
Also, is there any plan to have whether an object is in eclipse be taken into account when computing the planet shine? In 0.96 an eclipsed object still will cast full-phase shine

| (AlessiaCristallooo) Space Engineer, I have a question, can you add sounds when you click to a menù?
Sorry SpaceEngineer if I bother you
I'm just curious, it should not be hard after you made a music player
(if you didn't read the post, I posted the updated sounds too)

| AlessiaCristallooo, I agree, but recently SpaceEngineer received a lot of requests, I'd like to have menu sounds too but I think he still have too many things to think about
