That feel when you finally find a random Brown Dwarf and there's no planets orbiting it...:negative:

Ok few things:

- First of game works a lot better. Yes it can still go down in framerate especially looking at globulars but overall now it is fast as hell and framepacing definetely improved.
- Dem colors. Stars colors on planets is definitely more noticeable. Overall color is way more toned and feels warm opposite to earlier clinical color palette
- Sun lens flares were completely redone and now looking at super giant from planet doesn't make you wonder what kind of crap is that on sky. Sunlight definitely improved a lot


Overall amazing update though real sun/planet brightness doesn't work anymore which is imo how should stars/planets be seen

virtual planetarium is best description it has every object known to man in its database and when you go behind horizon it will generate new galaxies and so on.


Honestly this is the best way to find out that world is huge as fuck and you can't comprehend just how big it is.
