Will odyssey light atmosphere be correct, Blue sunset on Mars

Duh, duh durrrrggghhhhhh

And the top of the cylinder began to unscrew and.....

yes I am fully aware Mars has been terraformed in Elite Dangerous with two attempts actually.

I wonder if Bringing down Phobos was a part of one of the terraforming attempts, thus its omission from the Elite Dangerous galaxy.

I only brought up the different sky colour of day/sunrise on Mars because it’s one of the few real life documented cases of none-terrestrial sky colour . (Did the Russian take pictures of the sunrise/set from the surface of Venus?)

I don't think anything they landed lasted long enough to see a sunrise or sunset and the permanent cloud cover would obscure it. Best pictures I've seen of the Venusian atmosphere are these from Venera 13

Mars has a pink orange sky during the day (due to dust) and blue sunsets and sunrises.

So... Earth with a palette inversion?

Sounds like somebody cut some corners with the assets when assembling the solar system.

The sky and the sun at sunset are complementary colours: the sky is the light the atmosphere scatters; the sun is the unscattered light.

Science fiction isn't silly.

Yes because it's Science

Based on Brabens geekiness I am more certain they will accurately model atmospheric lighting colours (according to known science) than anything else to do with this expansion.

The chances are a million to one, I'm told.

And yet, across the gulf of space.....

And yet, across the gulf of space.....

minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.

Bloody Martians, can't trust em!

Rubbish Dev. No communication for thousands of years! Where's that roadmap?

Red sky at night, arsonist's delight.
Red sky in morning, fire brigade snoring.

I hear cloud imperium is working on it

That would explain why we've never been able to leave the one system.

Not sure about realistic, but i was imagining some very epic screenshots.. imagine seeing a gas giant through atmosphere.. or a star as (as close stellar forge allows one) through atmosphere.

Speaking of realistic, with a disclaimer of no scientific background.. there was once a time when t-tauri stars glowed white at least.. but then one patch they all got downgraded to the purple non light emitting stars. Reading the wikipedia page about these, apparently they are brighter? so not sure what happened there. But seeing one of the purple glowing bodies close by through atmosphere, probably from a moon, would be pretty amazing too.

Yeah i hope they don't cheapen out, or make decisions for "gameplay" over realism for this one.
