Yup, agree. just made it to SOL, checked out earth, not impressed with their "custom" work unfortunately.

Is the Sol system unfinished?

Well I quite liked what I saw of Sol. Hadn't read about it first, so was a nice surprise to see Mars terraformed.
Also looks like Earth has had some serious sea level rise, the outline of the UK for example is quite different, East Anglia is under water.
I was nerdy enough to see if they had even predicted the position of the planets correctly, perhaps no surprise that they didn't go quite that far.
I checked a couple of utilities and on Nov 27th 3300 Earth and Venus are on the same side of the Sun, but in the current version of Sol they are opposite....

Like the rest of the game. I will be watching the reviews with big interest.
Titan needs to have a thick orange-ish atmosphere, and currently it does not.
Really? I'd read about how good Earth's Moon looked in-game, but I remember even more clearly how underwhelmed I was when I SC'd past it for the first time.
Well you have to realize the fact that manually changing massive things like Jupiter and other things of the sort will take allot of time and they are trying to get the game ready with 400 billion solar systems, along with all the bugs that brings. Finishing our little Solar System will take allot of time and focus; getting the skins and such to match real life as much as possible probably takes ALLOT of time and care.
Seems ridiculous
Water is very common in the universe. There are several ways (theoretically) sufficient water could be brought to mars for terraforming. Comets and water rich asteroids come to mind. There may even be considerable water on mars frozen beneath the surface.
?
The fact that Jupiter is huge has no bearing on how difficult it is to emulate. Problems would likely stem from making it look like the Jupiter we're familiar with, but keeping it dynamic, where the clouds and belts have their own autonomy, or appear to follow the general meteorological trends of a gas giant.
Until planetary landings are in does it really matter? The texture on Earth is a placeholder at best, and on any other planetary system who'd know the difference? Entire moons of the outer planets bear little resemblance to their real selves yet. I'm not terribly concerned that they aren't modelling coastlines on one planet to sub-kilometer accuracy yet.
I don't think the physical resources of the entire solar system could be seriously depleted in just a few thousand years. Maybe a few million years.
Keep in mind that most images from space (planets, nebula, etc...) are taken through filters and are digitally enhanced to bring details out front. In general, it doesn't look as good as you might think.
Yes!
I want to see this!

I'm slightly annoyed they ignored their own in game lore history and have made Earth look like our Earth.....would have been much easier on them if they just went with the history of it being bombed beyond recognition multiple times. Then we wouldn't be able to compare land masses like this....
Yes. And they have plenty of latitude when it comes to what the bands and spots look like, it very likely would look very different to the way it does today. Bands and spots change even on a one year timescale. Back in 2010 one of the big dark bands completely disappeared for a while. And I believe models suggest the Great Red Spot could be relatively short lived.

I didnt expect an exakt replica of Saturn or Jupiter and of course the storms on both planets will change in 1000 years. But this didnt explain why especially the gas giants looking dull, bland and boring.
Furthermore nearly all mayor moons like IO, Ganymede or Europa looking complety wrong. Just compare Ingame IO with the real IO. In this case i cant realy understand whats happened there, because they have already nice looking "IO´ish" planets ingame.
Besides that : The clouds (on Gas Giants or normal planets) arent dynamic. They are static and didnt move separately. There is no cloud layer or something.
I did an 3 hours 1 frame per second capture of Neptun and Earth, and the clouds doenst move, only the planets turns, the clouds remained completly static.

Well, i am sure there are no performance issues. They simply didnt have the time for that, so they rushed it. Like the rest of the latest additions. I realy hope they find time after the release to polish and fix the rushed stuff and add the rest of the DDF.
