temperatures on planets (light and dark side)

[ebbrell]

I have noticed the temperature on a planet does really change when comparing the light side to the dark side. can this be more realistic and obviously be hotter on the light side to the dark side.

for those planets very close to a star, can the temperatures on the light side be where they would be (extremely hot)

I'd like to see this too.

Heck, I was thinking of suggesting that sensors begin to struggle detecting ships close to surfaces of hot planets, so you can "hit the deck" and drop off radar (but potentially cook yourself). The hotter the planet, the higher you can be before you show on sensors, maybe to a limit for 250m.

Surface ports can have sensors that can detect ships, so there's no hiding and blowing up landing ships, and no one can find you. Lol

I like the sensor idea, makes sense if there is heat everywhere

The day/night thing on the planet is a good idea, if only to create a problem for SRV overheating on the surface.

But do we need to complicate it with the ship sensors? After all, it's the 34th century.
Does no one use Look-down-Shoot-Down radar anymore?

We never had radar in ED; the sensors we use are infrared.

Exactly. That's what I'm saying.


They should have fitted on an ancient AWG-9, AN/APG-77, or a N035 Irbis-E PESA unit aboard.
And we would be able to track targets a few hundred kms away.

But we're doing IRST in the 34th century. Unbelievable.


I think the game should add Active and Passive sensors.
