on a completely unrelated note, how come the info card on several planetoids says 'rocky airless moon, devoid of atmosphere, blah blah' and when you fly too close it says 'now entering planet atmosphere'

'Cause all planets have a killzone which the ship AI recognizes as an atmosphere. Otherwise you'd bump into the planet surface and bounce back (which, incidentally, happened to me in a Hege on New Berlin once).

For suns it's called a Corona, even for dead suns that don't have that anymore.

Wide awake in a world that sleeps, enduring thoughts, enduring scenes. The knowledge of what is yet to come.
From a time when all seems lost, from a dead man to a world, without restraint, unafraid and free.

'Air' as we know it consists of mostly nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen and carbon dioxide.

Who says you aint entering an atmosphere of fart gas down there?

Methane galore. Yum.

Planet Ayr is hard to explain. Planetform was ordered to work/wants to on the Planet, but basically they only want the Money from the Bretonian Government. So the Planet will take a loooooooong to Time be done (longer than usual) so that the Company will get much more Cash for other Projects.

in a Hege

Ironically, the Hegemon uses the same sound as it's ambient noise as the Atmosphereic noise.
I discovered this when making the Epic Sound Modz, all the Hegemons were shouting 'ATMOSPHEEEERE! GET OUT OF THE ATMOSPHERE YA FOOL!'

On a terraforming-related note, isn't Planetform said to have not actually finished a project yet, despite their many many years of existence? Mostly due to how long it takes and all.

So even if they couldn't get to the planet in Tau-31, all the various organisms (such as alien organisms) and whatnot are still changing the atmospheric composition and such. It just wouldn't be going as fast as before, when they were introducing massive amounts of other gases and the like.
