Does the consumer version of Space Engine have an API? I'm tempted to just go ahead and write my own space game on top of Space Engine, LOL.
You think I joke?
New Planet Tech is KILLER of Exploration (all terrain is tiling/repeating/not procedural/random)

- Start date

Okay.
I mean its cool. But system in elite is way more complex. You want 1 fps? Still its emit 2 lights at the same time when its needed.

Everyone knows Microprose's F-19 Stealth Fighter was the best ever. There was not a single tiling surface pattern as far as the eye could see!This reminds me of EF 2000 from 1997.
Actually I think EF 2000 looked better (it was a lot brighter on my monitor than this screen grab I got from Internet).

Terminal Velocity on Pentium PC mid 90s
Yea I played that. I had a Pentium 60 and my friend didn't believe me that I had a 120mhz processor.
That particular planet does look nice! I bet there are echoes of procedural generation somewhere there on its surface but all the noise just makes it harder for the brain to recognize them. Working with noise, variety of shapes and colours is how you can get believable procedural generation to work really well even with pre-generated assets.
And it has a 89% rating on Steam
Too bad Fury^3 and Hellbender are probably in IP Limbo.And it has a 89% rating on Steam
Make sure to keep bumping this one until it is resolved.

It gets a bit loud at times, but man can it make Crisps while I'm landing on a planet.
Uh, just checked ED:O is down to 30%
I loved how if you sold your atmospheric shielding you would burn up when ascending through the atmosphere. But if you went really slowly you wouldn't.
I think I give the Hotfix thread another 2 hours and it will completely derail - white knights incoming
