I appriciate what you are saying, but we are talking about HMC, and MR planets. The Rocky, Rocky Icy, and Ice objects do not seem affected by this problem.
I was just here this morning, and it's very nice, but these are Icy moons.

Yeah... let me know the next time you see hundreds of real HMC worlds without atmospheres you can land on.
It's not the poster that needs to prove anything, he just expressed his concern. No need to derail it with such an exaggeration.
Let's not go passive aggressive about this.
EDIT: Perhaps my English fails me and you mean the opposite of what you wrote. In that case I apologies.
Beige is still bad, it was better in a previous version.

I have never, ever once said "We should trust Frontier" and I am pretty sure I haven't said "Let Frontier decide". Anyone who knows my way of writing posts and of speaking will know that is certainly not an approach I take. I'm all for contextual discussions, rather than blind judgement calls, regardless of the issue. Of course, it's entirely up to Frontier to decide what they want to do with the game, but I would never blindly dismiss players concerns by using the words claim.
If however, there is a case where I have said that - please do show me where, because it certainly is not the sort of thing I would mean or intend to say.
(And this doesn't mean I think players should be making decisions on the future of the game, or that I am against Frontier...I am a huge supporter of them. I'm just pointing out that I haven't said what you are accusing me of saying).
Oh, and I have also never asked for the beige planets to be changed back. This is not a campaign for change. It is a campaign for information. Also please keep in mind that I have kept the video in my first post unlisted. That means it doesn't go out to my subscribers, which hopefully shows I'm not shouting and stamping here. I'm just asking (well perhaps begging
) for information.P.S. I didn't campaign against instant transfers either.

I don't care to see the discussion needlessly and erroneously derailed into realism vs. fantasy and fun.
Some people thought Pluto was just a boring ice rock too until we actually sent a camera there and showed that it isn't.

I think I've heard you say in a video that "I'm sure Frontier know what they're doing" or words to that effect... It's how it came across anyway.
Dishwasher Blonde for everyone
That's a bit different to telling people to have blind faith in someone.
If I said that "I'm sure Frontier know what they're doing", (and I can imagine I certain did that say that), then I am just expressing my opinion on a specifc area of the game. That is very different to making a call for everyone to "Trust Frontier". And even then, I would be very surprised if I said that in a way that dismisses out of hand any concerns someone may or may not have.

My hands are light reddish beige color... [hehe]
I'm in agreement with The Ant... I was going to go exploring a while back but since noticing myself that most planetoids are now beige there is simply not enough reason to. And I really want to explore, but like what's the point if everything looks the same. Some of the screenies of pre-beige Elite planets look tantalising. Such a shame. And if FD really want more people to head out to Colonia, way to take the fun out of travelling there being that there's very little of planet variation to explore along the way.
Leave the hair alone! Keep your beige planets, as long as I can change my hair colour as often as I do in real-life, I'm happy.

Oh absolutely, I agree, but that's the only thing I can think of that might bear a remote similarity to "trust Frontier"
Gonna repeat what i said in another thread.
We keep getting second/third hand acounts that FD responded aboput it, but nobody has been able to provide source.
I don't believe they're reflecting the colors correctly, we're getting what appears to be a bad color overlay applied, instead of reflecing the light based on the material property of the surface, it just "reflects" the star color as it is, even the SRV and ship (Python with Tactical Ice pain) gets overly beiged up (or pinked up around O class stars).

My post about it in another thread:
And it is not much color needed, just faint hints of pastell hues.
As in my moon idea:
"IT IS ALL BEIGE AND GREY!" - Said the colorblind scientific instrument.
Everything has color, depending on how we choose our "visible" spectrum!

As an aside (which may be relevant) .... have you noticed that the FD chosen color scheme for the HUD, station announcements and services, Galnet News .... is all a shade of orange, which forms the basis of beige? Very little blue, green or grey. Are the Devs selected for the job based on their preference for red/orange? Does the FD car park have a preponderance for red/orange/beige cars ?
Disclaimer : my car is beige ... I've had it for 10 years and I now want a blue or grey one

Agony, this must be especially hard for content folks. I mean, how do you show off the game on YouTube...When every planet looks the same?
