In reality, the moon would be full of important industry and infrastructure.
There's no way some random pilot would be allowed anywhere near the surface without a special permit or an invasion fleet.

I have mooted before that a moon permit would be a good mini-DLC for the game. I can understand FDev wanting to 'do it right' but perfection is the enemy of completion & what I have in mind is probably a lot less complicated to achieve than what the game designers would want to release.

One of the arguments against moon landings IIRC was that we know what it looked like, if moon landing was restricted to one or two ports on far side that could get around that but would anyone be interested in that?

No less interested than in any RNG moons' far side, I guess.
Not letting us land on the Moon flies in the face of the "official
narrative".

If we really went there, why not let us land on it?? What's the problem?
No game lore can handwave that away, sorry.

The limitation is not currently having procedurally generated citiscapes. It would be like landing on Earth and just having green or blue coloured ground to walk on because there's no water or realistic grass coverage in the game.

I'd give it 30 seconds from being released before the fist, second and third complaint threads appeared on here that it was just a big dull rock.

Technically.... No
When you program, the textures are given placement coordinates, so you will have the procedural texture plus the textures.

True, however I was more concerned by the required textures not currently being in the game, and that if they were to be put there would likely be part of a much larger and in depth update (one thing we can't criticise FDev for is a lack of ambition when they do add things to the game. They would be looking to base a bunch of gameplay loops around this). Perhaps this would be to the point of this needing to be part of a Horizons/Odyssey sized DLC to do that sort of thing justice.

To be clear I'm not saying it's a bad idea- it's a very good idea and would have the potential to open up significant new avenues in the game. I'm not holding my breath waiting for it to happen though.
