Landable Planets Idea

[komet]

It doesnt have to be infinity.. the bubble could be made that rstrices the ship from flying farther then lets say 200 clicks.... or they explode.

Have 4 or 5 bases on the planet...... and rest basically landscape.

Even if it was possible to make someone die after going a certain distance (which isn't as Dab said) I don't think many people will enjoy flying out to explore a bit then suddenly explode with no warning (reminds me of Halo 3 and its hundreds of death barriers). The only I can think of that would mimic your idea is a mine field, a very BIG minefield around the end of the city scape but that's no fun.

We can't tell the system to kill anything after a certain distance. Game hardcodes, differs, and generally uncontrollable.

Second, the Dyson Sphere background.. Is just that. A background. You fly and fly, but you'll never reach it.
The floor, as has been said, doesn't stretch for infinity. Also, its not buidings. They are blocks. Buildings are infinitely more complex. Especially with docking points and everything. Plus the Dyson Sphere floor is an object. We'd either need an object for each 'building' so we can place it all. Or we need an object for every planet we do this on, that contains the buildings in a unique setting for that planet.

In short, entirely too much work for the payoff. The atmosphere would be little-used after a short while, after all the hype dies down and people go back to normal routines. The only time I'd spend the amount of time it'd take to make this, is if I were being paid to do it. I mod for Discovery for free as I like making things people use and things that are included into this mod.. This wouldn't satisfy that. It'd be an oddity after awhile. Like the Marsflyer, and thats not the outcome I like to see with my work.

If someone else wants to attempt this, they can go ahead and do it. I'm simply stating the problems someone will have in making it, plus it can not be made by one person, unless that person learns system modding, coding, moddelling, hardpointing, and texturing.

Exactly. The amount of work that would have to go into this would be, well, insane.
But it is possible, just a question of who wants to do it.
