Hello,

this game si really awesome. But Planet Textures lookes like 1990 when planets looked like a Ball without Textures. I mean most time i fly through the Universe and want to see beautifull Planets and not an untexturised Soccer Ball with complet grey looking. If this game will have a chance in the Future against star citizen and other games, please fix add or make better lightning, Global illumination or newer ones and better planet Textures, PBR Textures, . We have big pcs who can handle that.

This game is awesome and best around, but planets and lifghtning looked really very old.

Well, I guess you're talking about volumetric lighting. There's no atmosphere on the currently landable planets so no way light can be seen in such effects.
We did have a bit higher res textures at first if I recall correctly, but we now have very good surfaces. Sure, the game is lacking colors but it's a well known "issue" : look up beige threads you'll understand.
Now I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing. When you say "Soccer Ball" you mean the entire planet, as when you orbit it ? If you don't have Horizons and CAN'T land on planets the textures won't load the same way. The closer you get the more detailed the textures are.

No need for Global Illumination in space, it's purpose is mainly to reflect light on objects that are close to each other... no such thing in space.
(GI is occuring on planets surfaces, cockpit, stations,... You just probably don't see it since it's one of those things you notice only when they're missing)
Big PCs ? Try running the game 144hz on a 4k monitor or in VR, it can be pretty demanding. Try and find screenshots on the forum, they look incredible to me.
Maybe tweak your settings ? You can try mods if you want, edfx for example. :)

Click to expand...

A couple of shots from the screenshot forum, pretty much what I see when running on Ultra. Are you sure you have horizons with the settings cranked up to ultra?

Running a maxed out Alienware system with a GTX 1070 on a 4K monitor and the planets (and everything else) looks awesome. My point is it might be your settings or maybe your hardware.
