Is SOL comming with "Gamma" this evening?
- Thread starter Ramireza
- Start date
Dunno, but I, for one, will enjoy finding out!!
See you out in space, commanders!!

first picture of Earth wins!
In 1946, rocket-borne cameras gave us our first look at Earth from beyond the atmosphere
They've probably done lots of testing in-house. I don't personally think that Sol (Earth) will be in the version that we get today\tonight. I think they'll keep that for the 16th December but I do think they might show it tonight at the premier event and in fact I'd be astonished if they didn't.
I am really looking forward to seeing Earth and the other planets, given the outstanding amazing quality of the procedurally generated planets we can already visit, I'm expecting the "custom" earth to look amazing.
I really hope that we get to see some night side lights on planets soon too.

I wonder if Uranus will be in it. Nothing like checking out Uranus.
Oh come on...it had to be said.

Based on the recent tweet, I would say Sol is going to be included in this release.
This would suggest Earth is reachable
Apparently we are no longer all sick. They have taken away our Galactic Pill! Yay!

Love the screenshot of earth. I was a tad disappointed by the System View schematic representation of the planets - they're the stock images used everywhere else. Would it be feasible to make them look a bit more realistic before launch? (To be clear, I've not made it to Sol yet, and don't mean the in-game rendering of the planets). Thank you!
I get the distinct impression that Sol is very much work in progress. Earth and the terraformed Mars look great, however:
- Other planets seem to be just generated rather than created by hand. Jupiter is just A N other gas giant with wierdly large rings. Io is just a bland ball of rock rather than the technicolour volcano fest it is.
- Many smaller bodies are missing. No Phobos and Deimos, none of the smaller moons around Jupiter and Saturn.
- No space cities Orbital stations are just the standard Orbis starports (albeit large ones)

Orbital stations are just the standard Orbis starports (albeit large ones)I agree with everything you've said so here's some rep
. The rings of Jupiter are just plain wrong. For a start there's too many and they are too bright. I saw a twitch stream of the system and it shows the composition of the rings as ice and this again is wrong. Jupiters rings are very dark and made up mostly of dust. I think they've done a bit of a rush job on Sol to get it out for gamma.
