Maybe Icosahedron's would make better planets?

    Wikipedia says this is the shape the world is projected onto, before being unfolded.

    A dodecahedron may not be as round as a icosahedron, but it gives a larger surface area for each face. Whereas with an icosahedron, the faces are smaller/triangular and you will run into the rims more frequently. Just my opinion on it.

    I don't think he would mind, if it meant that it would be better for the game as a whole. I just prefer the dodecahedron for the larger faces.

    Maybe your right. But, he could make the planets larger overall. I feel that even the new ones maybe too small.

    This is interesting, but I agree with Syleiel that the faces would be too small.
