Elite and SpaceEngine

[tooterfish]

Purely subjective, but graphically, especially lighting wise, Space Engine runs rings (pun intended) around E: D for me. Love things like tidally locked planets being half in ice to the rear, with giant weather systems on the lit side. Oh and the aurora.

Definitely, although I think Elite is operating under tighter constraints requirements wise.

It'd be nice to see more detailed features in Elite, they're going to have to up their game for the planetary landing expansion. We're getting nicer gas giants next update, so that bodes well, fingers crossed the game will look as different this time next year as it did this time last year (if that makes sense).

I doubt we'll ever see SE completed...thanks to the NWO and their fake Islamic/Satanic Messiah that's coming.

Talk about a sharp left turn...

Makes sense man, I've put like 5 projects on hold because of that.

You just can't make plans during Armageddon.

Space Engine is its own thing, just as ED is, and Vlad has his own plans for a solo and possibly multiplayer game. All depends on funding. In some ways its graphics are better than ED's at the moment, but bear in mind that the graphical look of both games is still in development. ED looks VERY different now to how it did in early beta, and Vlad has made a lot of tweaks to Space Engine in the latest build (which dropped not long ago - check it out if you have not run the game for a while - there are a lot of improvements).

We certainly are spoiled for great looking space games at the moment.
