| Quote sclarinval (  ) I honestly think the game itself is beautiful, but I think the interface could be much improved. I spent a while in Photoshop and Adobe Premiere to show how I think it should look. So this isn't an actual mod I made or anything, it's just a mockup. But anyway, here is the video I made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlinVp7FQwo. And here is an image: Just some notes: I said in the video that the button in the bottom left centers the planet on the screen. I miss worded that, it should say that it goes directly to the planet (the equivalent of pressing G). Also, I changed the look of that button slightly in the screenshot compared to the video, to make it fit more it. And I also forgot to add a time control section. I think that would just be another button in the menu, as I don't think it's used enough to be immediately available, and it'd just clutter up the UI. So I really hope that SpaceEngineer takes this into consideration, and I'd love feedback. Thanks! :) P.S: This is also my first time posting, so don't judge if I did anything weirdly. xD
Completely agree that the UI needs a facelift. Sure, it's clean, but it just feels.... boring, if you ask me. Then again, all of this is up to personal preference. I'd very much like to use a UI such as yours(with minor modifications to things like the planet info tab, for example).

Why fear our insignificance in the Universe? Because of it we have infinite wonders to explore, and it gives us the freedom to make what we want of our lives.

Along with that, I want to be able to search for planets by super specific parameters, such as whether the planet has rings or not, if it is tidally locked, if it has a lot of craters, if the planet is ice cold, if it is in a specific galaxy, and so on.

--You can already search for ringed/nonringed planets
--You can already search for tidally-locked/non-tidally-locked planets
-Why craters? To find planets with lots of craters just look for selenas.
--You can already search temperature ranges
-Why is this even needed? You can just select the planet, fly outside the galaxy it's in, select the galaxy, look at the name, hit the "backspace" key, and press G to go back to the planet...All cataloged, non-modded planets are in the Milky Way and the glaxy name is part of every procedural planet name.
Living among the stars, I find my way. I grow in strength through knowledge of the space I occupy, until I become the ruler of my own interstellar empire of sorts. Though The world was made for the day, I was made for the night, and thus, the universe itself is within my destiny.

| Another suggestion for the far future :)
Following the research of Carl Rodriguez it looks like for globular clusters of around a million stars we can find between 1500 and 3000 black holes after just 10 million years. The black holes tend to sink to the core of the cluster and star a giant black hole mosh pit that can endure for quite long (scattering many black holes in the process).
They have produced a film that show the view near the core of the cluster (60 black holes in view) and how they interact. All the gravitational lensing and the beauty of the motion of stars and BH is for me mersmerizing. I hope to see this one day simulated in SpaceEngine 
Watch the simulation here: https://videos.files.wordpress.com/eIDzkCA....dvd.mp4

| SpaceEngineer, Well you do plan to implement this eventually? Correct?

Same thing applies to all these questions
Quote SpaceEngineer ( ) Anyway, I should note: as long as SE is a scientifically accurate Universe simulator, then one day it will implement ALL space objects and phenomenon that are known to modern astronomy (if this would be possible to implement on the personal computers). So you may not bother yourself with questions like "will SE one day have meteor rain implemented". I guarantee that it WILL.

I'm sure it would be :(
But I'd say, a nice place to start would be to improve the interface. Just saying.  (I posted here a while ago, how I think it should look, here: http://en.spaceengine.org/forum/8-1386-65335-16-1465153963 )

| The default keys for Sound and Music should be swapped with the Screenshot Keys. The music player would default to F11 and Sound to CTRL-F11. The screenshot keys would be F12 and CTRL-F12. This way when you take a screenshot on steam, you also get a copy in your screenshots folder. What does everyone think? Would you all rather have two different screenshot buttons or just one for the steam version?

| Why do you not change the hotkey for screenshots in Steam Overlay to F11? You can do this at any time!
Or better, why do you not make the suggestion to Steam to change the hotkey to F11, so that it better corresponds to SpaceEngine? 
Apart from the fact that there are people who do not play SpaceEngine on Steam and also have no intention to do it.
And there are people who use other programs for screenshots and video recordings.
I use MSIAfterburner, have the hotkey F11, and always make two screenshots at once, one without GUI with SpaceEngine and one with GUI with MSIAfterburner.
Don't forget to look here.

Then steam screenshot could have a slightly visible text "Saving screenshot xxx.jpg" in the middle of the screen. The same issue as with music player.

| Just an idea for gas giants: Right now they have surfaces, which is kinda strange. It would be awesome if gas giants could form as small rocky planets with insanely thick and opaque atmospheres, meaning that you cold fly inside of one and not reach a surface. I think it would be a really awesome change, and hopefully wouldn't be too hard to do.
