Had a weird session just now, some planets using ship textures. See the screenshots below, first one has a texture from a Deepspace ship and the second was the same planet, as I got closer to it, the texture switched to a Naval ship texture, probably from Neolite(?).
I saved the game and quit and reloaded, and all was back to normal.
I'm using 1.73.4 and various OXPs including System Redux if that helps any?

Maybe you could start a Kickstarter Campaign to found your £4500 pledge.
Thanks to Gimi, I got an eBook in my inbox tonight (31st May 2014 - Release of Elite Reclamation)!
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied
Sometimes the textures repository does tend to be confused... hopefully the last trunk tweaks inside that code are going to make such sightings increasingly rare... I kind of remember seeing a screenshot of a moon looking a bit like this
some time ago... (some = about 2-3 years ago!)
Came across another bugged planet texture just now.
I call it the Baseball planet, because it looks as if there is a line of stitching around the planet! nb: clicking on the images takes you to their FlickR pages...
Also whilst I am here, not a bugged texture, came across this string of pearls:

Yes, that's from one of Thargoid's OXPs, I think, which spawns asteroids in threes (probably accidentally). IIRC it has shown up in another thread a while ago. Does anybody remember?
Yep, I vaguely remember that other thread. It had commies asteroids in multiple straight lines, I think!
It's actually due to the random seed generator sometimes being reset when spawning multiple ships/objects.
That specific bug is not squashed yet, but it's running out of places to hide...

Eh? Don't remember that one. The only OXP I can think of from my mob that spawns asteroids is Lave Academy, and they're not like that iirc.
Thanks for reply. I expect that when needing to upsize planet on screen as you approach it qoes off momentarily then reappears (slow). My planets do that but are only absent for a few milliseconds e.q. 90.
Then immediately reappear (I wouldn't notice, but sometimes the planet is eclipsing the sun & there's a subliminal glimpse of the latter).
I'll keep PNG's under 500KB then, much less where possible. Cheers.

Mine disappear for a lot longer, tens of seconds probably depending on whether I'm jumping or flying normally....
