I would love something like this to be in a dawn of war game, exterminatus would be so fun!

[Tuskin]

Funny, Earth is not labelled "Comfort Terra with Life" it is just "Comfort Terra"

[Electrocuter]

God damn this game(?) is beautiful.

The procedural stuff really makes it great, no one wants to look at the same piece of rock we've seen in Celestia a hundred times before, it really makes you go out and explore.

Having fleets of millions of ships dropping billions of troops onto land and having total planetary war.

Oh my god.

The binary star system Menkent has three 'life' bearing moons, one orbiting Menkent 8, two orbiting Menkent 9

Make sure to have procedural planets around catalogue Stars enabled.

My Menkent doesn't have any life planets, probably because they are procedurally generated, no one gets the same planets.

Edited:

Oh wait, just found them.

[Xeloras]

Does the game have any music in it? Because with the right selection it could be an awesome experience.

[Zombii]

No, it doesn't. But I usually play it with music in the background.
Right now I'm actually playing Space Engine while watching Carl Sagan's Cosmos.

procedural planets on existing stars are always the same with everyone I believe, the texture will be different I think tho.

Edited:

Zombii, perhaps you should have put procedural somewhere in the title, that would get peoples attention.

[Deiru]

This thing looks so epic..

A few screenshots from this will probably end up as my desktop background.

[Epic Fortune]

More than just a few, I added over 40 new wallpapers after one voyage.


Dem planets with Rings :flashfap:

[God of Ashes]

where is this pulsar?

Edited:

also this game + listening to jazz = AWESOME

[MutantBadger]

Low-res textures everywhere. How do I get them to be high-res?

[Oicani Gonzales]

Can someone please translate the commands?
My screen is now completely black, running at 2000FPS and I don't know what to do.

[Zombii]

There's an english readme in 0.9

well i dont have it can you post it here

[Zombii]

Or you could just download the mirror because it's fully updated and has everything?
You should have downloaded both anyway.

[Fatman55]

Imagine if they made a Star control 2 type game out of this.
It would be amazing.

use Zombii's mirror on page 2

Edited:

Orkel changed the thread title, that should bring some more eyes

[Bi0hazard]

Is there a way to disable the UI? I can't have any space wallpapers with a bunch of numbers on the sides of the screen.

Try only having only Procedural planets on Known stars and only Known stars on. That should give you enough stuff to look at for a long time.

Plus in the "main" file in the config folder set the vram to your vram.

Can anyone else see the Pegasus Dwarf Irregular Galaxy? (its Pegasus DIG in the program) I go to it, but its just black space.

[Zombii]

It's not showing up in mine either. Strange.

[mogul20478]

More things need to be like this.

Must be a bug.

[Uberman77883]

So how exactly do I go out and find other planets other than just clicking a dot far off in the distance.

[Epic Fortune]

Where are the pulsars? I tried typing in B #### into search like zombii said, but no dice.

[Shotacon]

Anyone having this issue or have a fix? :smith:

If I get any closer than this:




Then the entire screen is engulfed with this:

[Zombii]

Check your velocity setting (scroll wheel).

[TheTalon]

Mine does that too, with Mercury and Jupiter, Earth, Mars and Venus were fine though

Edited:

Also, if you run in compatibility mode with Windows XP, the constant cluster fucking crashes cease. Still can't run it in fullscreen mode though, god damnit

Edited:

Also Also, I bring gifts and tales of adventure!

That third image is amazing.

I actually by chance accidentally stumbled onto Betelgeuse, and it had quite a few bodies orbiting it. Celestial bodies, not ejected space pilots

*Phew* had me worried there for a second.

[Tuskin]

I always seem to find Betelgeuse at least once when ever I explore.

[TheTalon]

This thing needs a naming system for planets and stars, some procedurally generated life on those very rare occasions, and we'll just about have a kick ass Noctis replacement. Not sure how to determine if a planet has life or not.. I know some do, like earth, but you can't tell by looking at it

[Zombii]

That would be a hilarious easter egg.
If like around a random star every session, there was an orbiting ship, that was derelict, with bodies floating around.

X3 Soundtrack. Siezewell. Perfect music to listen to while messing around in this

Most of the non-combat tracks are perfect, and anything by Alexei Zakharov
