A possible way to make explorable planets

[silverleaf]

Naw I'm just saying making explorable planets would be just as easy as making more systems. And instead of doing that I'd rather have 4 explorable planets (maybe the 4 house planets) than 4 more systems.

Meh it is possible as seen in other mods but I think it will be just an inconvinence and a 1 time thing just to check it out. Freelancer is 98% being in space as it is an arcade in that frontier.

Yeah just an idea since people were asking for it and crying about the soruce code. Just proving it CAN be done, but only if you want to. However, would be nice to have one or two places just for the 'feature'.

Yep, all answers and possibilities lie within the source code and it can be done but there are other priorities and other things that can be improved. Maybe some day...

That day will be in 2012, when the world comes to an end.

Secondly, no this is simply just not needed. We already have 100+ systems, 90% of which are completely empty or have 1-2 people flying trade runs through them. We need to stop focusing on making more space to fly in and start focusing on making the space we already have attractive enough for people to fly in.
The Freelancer engine also wasn't designed for in-atmosphere flight, so many problems exist such as the lack of gravity, friction etc.
Space sim, not flight sim. Lets not go mixing genres.

Yes please, we need a more interesting SPACE.


Planets are relatively boring...

Plus could you imagine datastorm with all the new planet systems?

It's possible to create. But it would be too much effort for a null and void Gain. Some other mods have some similar stuff. It's fun for about ten minutes, but you get bored

It is possible, but it looks horrendous and low quality. These planetary systems really aren't worth the effort, due to the horrific amounts of effort put in for very little gain. The systems themselves look low quality because Freelancer was not designed for this.

The game engine was not designed for it, and was never intended to work for planetary systems. Including this would decrease the quality of the mod as a whole.

And going with what Nighthawk said, use the freaking search function!

Although the idea of being able to set up a planetary Bombardment ring around Manhattan..

No. Just now.

[ruihu908]

Heh, I actually support this Idea, I think was it CrossFire.. Yeah, CrossFire mod which had the planetary systems, If u check their picture album, It is possible, and it would work, but it would be kinda annoying to have people camping 'in' planets, plus what would happen if u became hostile inside the planet O.O. how are ya gona get out...

It would be fun to have a few beta system to be made like this.. Just to test it out:)
