Are ALL nebulae planned on being changed to volumetric models, or are there just going to be a bunch of new models for procedural space? As far as I could tell from the test videos, none of the nebulae being shown were real ones, but I could be wrong. So are nebulae such as Orion, Barnard's Loop, E...

Did you swapped ships and planets?

No, I'm asking if there will be a graphic overhaul for ships.

Fine, but I asked for the ships since those are stock items in the engine. Even tho, the astronaut does give some perspective.

About ground textures, could we have a picture of a ship on ground (with it's size) so we can grasp it a little bit better? I mean, the astronaut was a fine comparison, but it would be nice to have one of ships, since we we use them so much.

It's too much progress in one week. What happened, an alien gifted you with superpowers?

Since Space Engine is a education software, it would be nice if you could pass the marker on a piece of info a describe what is. For example:  "Discovery method: transit" - "The transit disovery method is when telescopes measure the fluctuations of brightness of a star in extended per...

CrosisBH, use the astronaut model for comparison.

My God, this should be included in the Ultra HD texture pack!

Qr Bbpost I thought we already have classes for blackholes- charged, spinning, charged and spinning, neither.

Well A-L-E-X m8, I said "based on mass".

 -New asteroid classification based on the Tholen system, and new classes for black holes based on mass. (Supermassive, Stellar, etc..)
 -Ship reflection of light and shadows on planetary surfaces.

Qr Bbpost No, otherwise it will take an one extra month before release. Maybe better to delay galaxies for the next version?

Nah, we don't care about the time it takes, only the quality of the update, if you're going to do something, do it right. You can release it at 31th of december if you want.

Ship shadows on planets, and a "search rate" function on the star browser, preventing crash when searching for objects on large scales.
