    I'm hoping that this is real, but that does look way too similar to the StarSquadron spawn "planet." I guess we'll just have to wait until Schema gives us his gift.

    I don't think we will be saying anything about what's in that gif till it's good and ready.

    schema Is this horizon slightly curved or is that just the hill and/or the camera "lens"? It looks kind of curved, but if it's not I'd like that debunked so the hype thrusters don't overload. They're already piping hot from all the pretty stuff.
    It does not look curved to me, I think it's an optical illusion. Put a straight edge or your mouse pointer next to the horizon, the gap between the two does not seem to change.

    Kidding, kidding. But if it is ever mentioned again we will have a barbecue. Or unless Schema clears it first. (Praisebeuntohim)

    Unless the planet is massive enough to make the curve imperceptible! Lol

    That's kind of what I thought. Most likely this is some sort of planet size upgrade that avoids putting the whole daggum thing in memory at the same time, combined with freaking awesome (and I assume further optimized) terrain generation. That's just a theory though.

    I wonder if they figured out something better than polyhedrons yet... or if this will be a return to cookies.

    Well I know one thing: if Schine doesn't clear the air with some actual info, I'm gonna have to go see a doctor. It's been over 48 hours, and I've got some...deflation issues.

    Buddy, I didn't just take it, I ground it up into a fine powder and snorted it through a rolled up $1 Bill I found torn up on the floor of a gas station bathroom...

    THAT'S how hyped I am lol

    Are these new planets already added to the game?
    They don't really need to be. The resources are so cheap, players are building their own planets in seconds now. Can you imagine the implications? With this new minimal planet mentality, once helpless planetary civilizations can now attach thrusters to their homeland and avoid annihilation!

    ...

    Wait, what do you mean?

    ...

    The other planets?

    ...

    Oh! The dodecahedrons! Yea, those are in-game already. =)
    Not the planets from the gif though. =P
