One thing I forgot to add when writing my post:
There are two kinds of text in games:
informative text and flavour text. Planet descriptions in Nexus definitely fall into latter category, as they are irrelevant to the actual gameplay. Given that fact, and knowing that player has to be serious astronomy geek to rumage through all the celestial body descriptions in Nexus, I can't help, but notice that developers screwed up a big time here. I groaned aloud after reading thatfucking Saturn is a fucking planet without fucking atmosphere. When you add flavour text no one except people obsessed about the subject will read, you'd better make it good.
On a side note, most of the planets sucked in Nexus. Not only were they unimpressive visually, but seing craters and other such features beneath the cloud cover of a supposed gas giant makes me twitch.

Craters? Heh, I never noticed.
As for the flavour text though, I think it's a nice touch. What's not so nice is the inaccuracy of said text.
Anyway, your grumbling made me dig out the game, and I have to say that so far, it's every bit as good as I remembered. Gotta go hunting for a crack though, 'cos the wife never played it & she's hogging it
