No, see reply in previous thread, 0.03 is ridiculously thin to expect it to support suspended particles like clouds.
Mars is real life evidence of such clouds formation possibility, its atmospheric pressure is around 0.006 atmospheres, while in elite dangerous the maximal landable pressure is 0.1 atmospheres , Triton having very thin atmosphere can also sustain some clouds in 1.4 × 10⁻⁶ atmospheric pressure. New Horizons spacecraft also pictured potential clouds on Pluto when flying by noticing hazes there
There's a difference between a haze and a cloud, there are no clouds on Mars, there's fine windblown sand that slowly drops to the ground the moment the wind stops blowing, clouds are suspended particles that are, as the description implies, "suspended" and remain in the sky even with no wind. Find me a picture from mars with a cloud and not just windblown sand. This is probably also the situation on Pluto.
There's a reason they put observatories on the top of high mountains.....and that reason is because they are above the height where most clouds can form due to the lower atmospheric pressure. In fact clouds can't form at all above 14 kilometers where the air pressure is, remarkably, just a little bit over 0.1 of earths surface atmospheric pressure.
NASA’s Curiosity Rover Captures Shining Clouds on Mars
The science team is studying the clouds, which arrived earlier and formed higher than expected, to learn more about the Red Planet.
Cumulonimbus has entered the chat
... I'm just teasing a bit with that, as they will start forming in lower atmospheric layers, but I'm relatively sure they can exceed 14 kilometers in height (probably just the most extreme ones, though, and they are likely not a significant consideration to observatory placement). Albeit, different sites seem to claim different figures for the maximum height of such a cloud. And it is not a subject of particularly huge relevance to this thread, anyhow.
Interesting article about the Mars clouds, above, too.
Yes that is interesting, the question is, are they visible from the ground? Do they drop precipitation, do they have lightening like our clouds, if you were in one would it appear like clouds on earth? In other words would the typical "cloud" pattern be suitable as the OP suggests, it appears from the article that wouldn't be the case so. The description of clouds here doesn't fit the typical "cloud" idea that we have from clouds on the earth so the OP's idea still wouldn't fit.
Yeah I was going on articles about observatories and mountain tops and clouds that traditionally affect them, it seemed to suggest cloud height would of course vary with temperature and other factors, in fact clouds heights may actually be affected by global warming and that limit may be higher as the global average temp increases. But....not traditionally visible higher clouds do seem to exist.
Noctilucent Clouds seem top be the closest match to the clouds on Mars;
So that's as high as 85kms, however the point being, you can't see them during the day and lucky to see them at night I suppose, I am surmising they don't have lightening or the traditional features we associate with clouds, so they wouldn't be suitable to being recreated using lagrange clouds and the lightening effects associated with them. As far as we are concerned having them in the sky above it would look exactly the same as not having them at all, so what would be the point of FDEV creating something that basically can't be seen and doesn't affect anything. No rain, no snow, no lightening, invisible....pretty pointless really.
While clouds can form on Mars it's far from an everyday occurence. In fact, from what I've read, it requires very specific conditions and is a rare sight. Considering that E: D aims for a reasonably realistic depiction of planets (unlike eg No Man's Sky), is it worth putting energy into developing cloud simulation if there's a 1% chance you'll ever see them when you land on any one planet? Even if you raise the chance to an unrealistic 20%, it's not frequent enough for some and too frequent for others.
I'd rather have gas giant skimming, gliding above and through magnificent volumetric cloudscapes and thunderstorms (Thargoid maelstroms and NSP-s already have this!) of the upper layers in my brand new Mandalay
