The Official Explorers Photography Thread.

Here you have a collection of 600 photos made by me during the whole DW2 expedition. It took a long time to collect all the shots and give them appropiate names, but it was worth it.

All of them have the name of the system where they were taken and the name of the Point of Interest featured. Each stage of my expedition is an album, and each stage corresponds to one of the weekly routes of the DW2.

I very much like the paint scheme on your ship :)
Fly safe o7
Why thank you! My favorite color is actually blue, which my SRV's are done up in, (with yellow weapon fire), as are my engine colors. But blue just doesn't show up well against most of the backgrounds in ED, though, so I went with my second favorite for my ship's livery. Actually, I plan on having blue combat ships for the fact that is is my fave, and for the quasi-camouflage (for role play, anyways...)

Getting back to the photos, tho, I got to Ghosts of Jupiter this weekend and grabbed some shots for the GMP, then retired my beloved DBX for a Krait II...

The first thing I did with the Krait after retiring the DBX was HGE farming, and I came across one real close to an ELW, which made a cool photo, but this made my heart sad. So long, old friend.

...I got over it tho. 🤪

Doesn't dust or fog still need to be suspended in an atmosphere?
If there are low enough Gs, warming periods, tidal forces, or something along those lines, it could be slowly venting off, but yeah, generally speaking.

It can also be suspended by magnetic or electrostatic forces, in a low-G environment, but it tends to be rather sparse. You're more likely to see some haze from out-gassing. Some worlds can sublimate gases from the surface during the day, which will refreeze at night, etc. The pressure might be so low that it's hardly worth considering it an atmosphere.

ED takes this into account a little bit. Some worlds will have day/night changes in the haze. Also the landable "airless" worlds can have some surface pressure. The highest on record currently is Outorst QO-G b12-0 A 2, a Rocky Ice world with 0.000986922 earth atmospheres of pressure.

Wow. That's a surprise. I was sure all landables with "No atmosphere" parameter had zero pressure.

Actually, the most obvious example from our own real-world system is comets. They can have visible "fog" from out-gassing, but definitely have no "atmosphere" in the usual meaning of this word.
