I can think of many games that 'look better' than ED - even Skyrim VR or Fallout 4 VR look fabulous with plenty of mods...
You neglected to mention if SC was being built with the 'Future of Games', incidentally
.
Well Bethesda aren't known for their cutting edge graphics. An the the engines they are using to build both of those games isn't Unreal engine 5.
You would be wrong when it comes to tectonic plates. They are simulated. As to erosion, there would be any or very little on non-atmospheric planets.It's a work in progress. The game is not fully released yet.
Except microtech size Is about its diameter. Do you know the difference between radius and diameter?
That means that microtech Is smaller than the Moon. It shoudn't even have an atmosphere

Ah right the image didn't indicate all the information. Also you haven't seen all planets in the universe so you don't know for sure.
Maybe it'll be bigger in the full game.Tectonic plate movement happens continuously. That isn't simulated in ED. ED has some kind of static snapshot of a planet surface. There is nothing underneath the surface textures.

that symbols are for diameter, moreover the diameter of the moon is 3476 km, so I would say they are diameter.
I can't really understand why you keep insisting, even CR said that the Verse is not on scale, but distances are 1/10 and the planet siszes are 1/6 of the real ones.
you are making yourself ridiculous.
Yeah I noticed. So they could fix it before launch. My point is, we don't know if there aren't planets with a diameter of less than 2000 km because we haven't studied all planets in the universe. Pluto (2370 km) used to be a planet until they changed it to a dwarf planet.
Tectonic plate movements, the crust, mantle, inner, outer core of a planet are serious subjects of e.g. geology. It's not realistic when planets are hollow (empty) beneath the surface. So you are making yourself ridiculous with your lack of understanding.

Lol, so you think they should put huge amounts of work in to simulate a few inches of movement of tectonic plates in the games lifetime. It's really not needed and a complete waste of time.
It's not essential. Some people compared the "realism" of planets in SC to ED. Depending on the level of scrutiny and requirements, planets in ED aren't that realistic either.
They are still much more realistic than SC "planets".
They are far more realistic then SC planets.
Hmmm, I do not understand this SC fanboy stuff, if you like SC so much be happy with it.
What EDO finally will look like we don‘t know from pre alpha, any judgement and comparison is based on nothing substantial.
From what I can see, Cobra Engine has come a long way. I like the pre alpha looks.
But one thing I am sure of: The FDEV SOUND MAGICIANS will blow our minds again with their take on surface, Ambient and combat sounds. Can‘t wait to LISTEN to the game!

I quite happily listen to the 'background noise' on my FC in the 10 minute lead-in to jumping... it just doesn't get old!
Yeah, but i don't think their planets are going to grow
I didn't read everything but I prefer tiny interactive planets to empty huge balls of sand/ice.
Planetary interaction in ED is so boring.
The best part of the ED is the audio. Or I should say the only good part?
Sorry, but the point of that comparison was to show the difference and reason of graphical fidelity between the two. It wasn't realism we were talking about, but the difficulty of having billions of good looking planets in real size as opposed to a handful of handcrafted potatos. If CR isn't happy with the look of one of his planets he can just take a look at it and fine tune a few things. Now try that again with a billion planets. You said the size and procedural nature of Elite doesn't matter when it comes to graphics. It does.
EDIT
Just a quick reminder how this particular part of the discussion started:
