I think that, procedurally generated text containing information about planets would br cool.
The presets would make technical information that is in the charts, be transformed into a description:
"SW-276465
A warm (22 C°) Terra with marine and terrestrial multicelular life. The planet has a rotation period of 1.12 days and a orbital period of 3.8 years. It is orbiting a big yellow dwarf star that is 7G-years old,and the planet, 4 G-Years old.
BLAH BLAH BLAH".

And variations as the planets go:

(Name of the object).
(Nme of the object) is a (type of object) that (general description of the object) and has (technical description of the object), that is (age of the object), and (about object system,star system or moon system).
It is (rarity of object) and encounter itself in (coordinate,or galaxy of the object).

That's it.
Bye. biggrin

I really wanted that Space Engine get s new logo and a new menu. Seriously,how boring and old is that thing? JUST LOOK AT IT:
http://en.spaceengine.org/user_manual/mainmenu.jpg
I think is time for a new layout and logo,and i thinked thqat everyone should submit their own ideas for that! I myself created a few of them, let me show 2 of them (I know they're terrible):

I want to know if there is a way to see the smallest numerical star (like rs 0-0-281-2910-29-28193-19201-29) and to see the star with the largest RS numerical system in a galaxy?

Now that we have Jupiter-like Gas/Ice Giants what about having Saturn-like and Neptune-like Gas/Ice giants too?
It would be cool having all these types of Gas/Ice giants smile

Would it be possible to add a closest approach to target marker, similar to what's in KSP? It would make rendezvous with other ships much easier.

Yeah, this would be kinda helpful when intercepting planets, too.

my idea is that we can see what kind of life forms are on a planet using a random life form generator kinda like starbound. It would build specific 3D creatures using a variety of colors, body parts (thats specific to the biome), and particles (like fur or water or goo).

Would be neat if they added more adn more accurate atmospheric effects.
There is a paper from Proland developers of how program such a thing:

Is it possible to add dynamic sunbased Shadows at planet-Surfaces in the next Version? It would looks much better when Mountains cast shadows or something.

wetterblumen.in the listed article, they talk about the custom and procedural programation parts of atmospheric effects.
Read it,to get some ideas of implementations.

Not sure if its been suggested but when approaching speeds of 95% of C upto 100% of C should the ship itself not stretch and become an energy wave of light instead of staying in its physical form?

One thing I think would be nice, would be to add an option to the main.cfg's that allows us to switch between the current styles of gas giants, and the old styles from 0.973 and before, because I honestly think the old styles seemed quite a bit more realistic than the current new way gas giants look. The new gas giants seem a bit... cartoony, IMO.

It wouldn't work that way. Matter doesn't turn into energy at relativistic speeds. For observers on or moving with the ship, it looks perfectly normal. For observers at rest, the ship looks rotated, and Doppler shifted depending on whether it's moving towards or away from them. But we also have Alcubierre-style warp drives for reaching and passing those speeds, the effect of which is to distort the surrounding space.

the phase shift was what I was kind of getting at I know with follow mode you would be moving same relative speed but just for a game effect for the that extra wow factor even though its not a very effective way to travel well unless you like slow v.v

Hello everyone. Since I cannot start new topic, I am going to post this suggestion here.

I know this is part of the development plans to have animated star surface and protuberance but I thought I'll share with you some pictures comparing SpaceEngine and Elite Dangerous stars render:

Here is the Imgur post with 4 pictures.

I think that those protuberance simply look awesome in Elite Dangerous and really helps with the WOW! factor when you get near a star. They also help in estimating the star size. Whereas, in SpaceEngine, you do not feel like big stars are actually big. In my opinion, this should be a priority: more important than "Life" and "Grass, rocks and Trees" or "Procedural volumetric clouds" and whatnot.

Thanks for this awesome project!
