No planet lights?

I seems to have understood planet lights are standard nowadays.

Does it mean not having them is a graphic card shaders limitations?

No, actually planet lights are not the current default, you will have to enable them using the alpha channel of the diffuse texture of the planet. If no alpha channel exists in the diffuse texture or if it exists and is in full opacity, no planet lights will be seen.

LaveIsEarth has them and I believe the BPlanets WIP pack has them as well. Can't think of others right now.
