Their styles look pretty similar!
This one is from Blog post of 29 July 2017 – Space Engine
This is from Elite: Dangerous (https://imgur.com/QWL9clg)
Of course it's a good thing! I love both games, and those magnificent scenes in them!
agreed! everything in elite dangerous is very greatly designed! especially the white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes. I haven't made it too far as I am a competent in combat and a scout in exploration. I still got a long ways! it would be nice if space engine had similar rank mechanics. :)
Your right but this is nebula. Im pretty sure elite dangerous can pull off nebula just as good as space engine can. For now But as for planets for example you would be correct. Elite dangerous doesn't have nearly as much information and physics with planets then space engine has right now. Spaceengineer should be proud of his work! He has done a lot and so far all of that work has been impressive sense the start
I can't agree with you. Have you found a Herbig Ae/Be star in SE? I never did.
Pulsar jets aren't even visible from any other angles besides head-on. ;pI can't agree with you. Have you found a Herbig Ae/Be star in SE? I never did.
But there are lots of them in Elite Dangerous.
Yes, ED is a game, but it's done well as a video game. Yet SE is a space sim game engine, so it should be more accurate, that's true. But the fact is, both of them have their own pros and cons. ED has no accretion disks around BHs and NSs, while SE doesn't have those beautiful jets around pulsars.
I can't agree with the "not even comparable" you used. I think they are comparable, at least in scientific accuracy.
First: They are still really beautiful and cool looking ;p
It's because the jets are high-energy, relativistic beams of particles and radiation. With nothing to bounce off, the only way you'd be able to see them is when the jet directly beams over your eye which directly increases the brightness. Think of a laser pointer.
ah, that makes sense. thanks
An extremely deadly laser pointer at that.It's because the jets are high-energy beams of particles and radiation. With nothing to bounce off, the only way you'd be able to know is when the jet directly beams over your eye which directly increases the brightness. Think of a laser pointer.
You learn something new everyday.Pulsar jets aren't even visible from any other angles besides head-on. ;p
