Hi all,
I've been busy building a map in galaxy forge that is based on earth's solar system. I'm not doing any advanced modding, nor am i intending to, beyond what's needed to adress my current problems.
So far, I have all planets and major moons in, and the game plays like a childhood dream.
However, I have a couple of problems:
1st, I can not pin the planet graphic for the gas giants down to a certain type. The game chooses at random from a couple of different types. This will not do. There is a very nice jupiter-lookalike in the game, and it can render gorgeous rings like the ones on saturn, but often its uranus that gets the jupiter model, and mars that gets the rings. meh.
2nd, I would love to see a fourth type of planet, atmosphereless rock ball, such as earth's moon. Currently i'm substituting asteroids for the moons that have no atmospheres, but i'd rather see grey rocky balls for them.
These are my problems, but other than those, the sense of scale the game provides.. it is awesome.
