Yes, but if you look at the height data in the US2 image, the colour of the Great Lakes in the height data on the top-right is roughly the same colour as the ocean. Looking at the water depth charts and actually measuring the depth there would have been more helpful than pulling up the worst map of...

Qr Bbpost Other games like Universe Sandbox have done the same thing and I feel this would make a decent solution.

Are you sure? US2 actually simulates fluid on planet surfaces and doesn't need to use 'janky' methods of correcting water levels.

Qr Bbpost How's progress going on the 3D clouds?

No progress since Summer, we are focused on 3D rings now. As you can see, atmospheric scattering does not affects clouds, this is why new scattering code is needed.

Don't have much to say, do appreciate you being open about the development

Well it's nearly the 1st birthday of the Anniversary article, and we've not got much of anything except for the rings, so hopefully not bad.

35680 Captains: Maybe the player has a consistent character (card in their ship) which is the captain. This always belongs to the player, essentially the players avatar. This would enable some carry over if you died. If your ship was blown up, maybe all the crew die. However, the captain carries ov...

(if that's a typical Federation ship then the rings should be more like the t...

Hi, is there any proper meaning to the sentence, what are you asking?

Who are you talking to?

Slowly, but we making progress. We have prototypes of 3D rings, clouds, accretion disks, and many improvements for ships. But turning prototype to a release feature is a long path. Rings are closest to release, I except few months. It would be nice to see some screenshots of those prototypes. I've ...

Qr Bbpost Maybe I must restore a habit to post screenshots is the dev thread on this forum. I still do that, but in discord channel of our dev/admin team.

Everyone would appreciate that. I can't think of a reason not to!

It's been a year and a half since I first spilled my thoughts into this. It's a fairly ambitious project and would be impressive if pulled off, but it has the biggest woe (I believe) in gaming: always online. There's no real reason for multiplayer, the inability to fast forward and the lack of singl...

No. That's far too ambitious. Maybe in the future, but right now SE cannot simulate anything in a dynamic fashion.

Im not really good at this sort of thing but was wandering if anyone liked the way that the stars themselves in our local part of the galaxy, the colors and sizes, if anyone thinks they looked better in the last version. Is there anyway that I can change the stars back to appear the way they did in...

I can't help but notice you've been using Wikipedia to self-advertise. It also appears this is frowned upon.
