And because not everyone will want this, I will of course be adding it to the growing list of options that can be turned off.

Re: Planetfall 2.0 (maybe)

1. It primarily uses HUD elements to communicate alignment to the player. Thus it has a very custom HUD in play. So, if I want to try something funky for planetary landings, I'm going to have to come up with a system that will work with any HUD. Or have a custom HUD that I switch to when the dockin...

Re: Planetfall 2.0 (maybe)

Perhaps all we need is a single reasonably rich sequence to represent all landings. The descent through the clouds in the last video is great. I am not sure the visual of coming down to the landing pad is needed but I am not opposed to it either. Sometimes the 'clouds', sometimes the landing pad(s)...

  • reliably find such opportunities
  • be required to leave the system in order to exploit them
  • be taking at least some small risk in doing so
yes!

planet -> planet contracts
planet -> return contracts

Re: Planetfall 2.0 (maybe)

Latest landing sample: YouTube PlanetFall2 with arrival report image Almost blew myself up during this run! Things to note: I've applied a slight red filter to the image, based on the air color of the planet. If this was landing on the dark side of the planet, I'm applying a dark blue filter to giv...

Re: Planetfall 2.0 (maybe)

I get the impression that those Frontier cities are all much of a muchness (due, no doubt, to early computer limitations).

I'm not a big fan of AI, but I have to say it can really work well for the task of creating images for someone like me who can't draw: https://i.postimg.cc/8PFzyspN/planet-Fall2-city-5.png https://i.postimg.cc/X7T7t3qF/planet-Fall2-military-3.png https://i.postimg.cc/L4QsBjMx/planet-Fall2-moonfacto...
