I do not know what you think in the next development idea. A new feature: Planetary System Tour. With one click automatically launching the camera from the parent star or barycenter and visit the planets one after another. Approach, passing by the planet, looking back, then next planet. (Like a space probe animation) It could be configured to only visit the planets or the others objects also.

Proteus, this I think can already be shown if you switch to dock mode (I am not sure if this is what you ask for)
hmm maby it is not this - I need to check again.

My 3 most anticipated graphical additions:

1. Re-entry effects
2. 3D planetary rings (i.e. ice or rocky or metallic rocks in rings as you approach close to them - similar to Elite: Dangerous)
3. star surface animation already posted here

Ok there is a 4th one as well: Proper shadowing. But this is difficult and very hardware resource demanding.

Not entirely sure where to post this but it's more of a question than a suggestion. I was wondering if it was at all possible for Space Engine to come to Xbox One? Now, if it can't due to CPU limitations, would it be possible for it to be the Xbox Scorpio and/or Neo? I'm asking this because I'm incredibly interested in space and this game in general, but my current setup is absolute trash. If I did post this in the wrong section, please directi me to the right section.

Maybe you better buy a normal modern PC, connect it to TV and play games on that setup? You will be amazed on graphics quality compared to console. I'm not unleashing PC vs console holywar...

SpaceEngineer is right. Although my Intel HD limits me somewhat, I've connected my laptop to my tv, and the visuals are amazing, even with cheap setups like mine, especially if you know which settings on the laptop and tv to tweak! smile

As for a suggestion, one thing I think might be kinda realistic would be to enable minute erosion on old desert planets with dense atmospheres, and/or on middle aged deserts with life and dense atmosphere. Example, a desert aged 10 gy with an atm of 1 might have an erosion parameter at "erosion 0.01" or below. Might this work at all?

Would it be possible to add better surfaces underwater, instead of making them completely flat?

A search filter by ESI would be nice

I agree with ESI filter request.

It would be useful for who wants to find terras with very similar ESI, so I agree too smile

Implementing the ability to export Galaxies, Nebulae, Star Clusters (and other things you can't export) would be really useful! smile

I don't know if this is going to be pointless or whatnot, but could maybe add an out-of-scale mode, at least in map mode? Just a minor suggestion.
(if you know what I mean - you will if you've watched some space documentaries)

Also make a feature where you can compare the sizes of two or more objects from anywhere in the universe. smile

Why do ALL the procedurally-generated Earth-like planets have SO2 in their atmospheres? That's why I want to be able to search for planets based on their ESI values, so I can find a TRUE Earth twin.




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.
