new planets

[bryther]

i already posted a thread about aquatic planets and noticed that lots of the people on the forum have an idea for a new planet(lava planets) or the changing of an old planet(rain).

If you have an idea for a planet post it here and perhaps the makers will read it and make changes.

 

[bryther]

please other people, not so enthusiastic.

haha, here goes:

in addition to lava and water, what about multibiomed planets?

Ice caps?
Desert around the equator?

If this is no good, then what about gas planets! If gas is going to be implemented along with physical water (and it should be), then I want DENSE gas planets that burn you up if you go too fast.

 

[FictionDragon]

What about crystal planets and planets with abandoned ruins?

 

[Lenier]

Ooh, what about METAL planets! cool!
they could even be hollow!

They exist IRL. Another thing that exists which is totally awesome is carbon planets:

And of course that means that with enough pressure...

Imagine finding a whole planet made out of ice crystal or rare minerals! It would be like the mushroom biome of Starmade! You'd be god of the server...

Anyway, I do hope Scheems is planning more planets, he did say we 'might' get some new universe stuff.

How about dessert planets gets dust storms, Ice planets gets snow and green planets rain, or even a burning effect when entering the planet, you have to enter the planet just right or have enough shields to take much of the impact in stead of damaging hull or something. Maybe even tornados on purple planets or green, so many ideas!

 

[Mariux]

Barren Moon-like planets maybe?

 

[CleanRabbit]

Gas Giants.
Would be spectacularly easy to implement with the existing code base using a star-style damage effect when a ship gets too close to the center of the Gas giant.

Planets with Moons.
Even generating large asteroids in orbit of a planet wound add some additional diversity!

Smooth barren rocky planets.
At the moment a lot of planets have a great deal of detail to their terrain. Planets that are largely flat and plane are far more common in real life and I'd love to see a few floating through StarMade that I didn't have to flatten myself! Impact craters would add to the fun =)

 

[NeonSturm]

Planets made of pure silver and gold!!! There must be someone somewhere around all these trillions of planets :D

 

[Lenier]

You would need to rule out home-base invincibility if you had diamond planets! The planet would become the center of an interstellar war!

~ planets that have lightning shooting around on the surface
~ magnetic planets (both polarities)
~ volcanic planets
~ goop planets (springy/bouncy)
~ crater planets (impact planet)
~ gas planets
~ sticky planets
~ explosive planets
~ planets full of plasma
~ pirate planets
~ glowing planets
~ planets with gravity spikes
[if your still reading this +1 also I could keep going for hours]
~ Candy planet (for that WHAT!!?!?!?! factor)
~ rainbow rock planet
~ planets with jets of gas
~ dark planet
~ planets covered in dust that jams your electrical stuff
~ poison atmosphere
~ lava craters
~ deadly weather planets
~ icy spike planets

I might be addicted to making lists... now to make a list of lists..

 

[NeonSturm]

~ explosive planets

First lol
also @ candy and rainbows

~ pirate planets

What would define them?
Lots of scrap metal around?
Lots of weapon damage?

 

[Starlight Walker]

Lots of scrap metal around?
Lots of weapon damage?

yeah, it would be like a base that pirates would hang around and defend, maybe even fight without there spaceships with some unfairly powerful blaster. I also think they would steal ships and bring them to a dock there to be scrapped or something

 

[Thomas Jetson]

How about disk-shaped planets that have a flat bottom and a straight edge and are landscaped on top? They could be positioned so that when you press 'C' your ship would orient with them perfectly and you could land on them and use their natural full-time gravity as a realistic effect for the base you build there? You could tunnel in them and terraform them to. Wouldn't that be awesome? Why didn't anyone think of this?

 

[FunnyBunny14]

We need more planets!!!!
Well that, and, of course, better structures on planets.

 

[Wimpie]

Everyone who would like to see new planets, LIKE the first post in this forum "bryther" Like his post he created this forum, maybe if we get enough like's the creater of starmade might read this forum and use some of our idea's. Maybe not but its worth a try dont you think.

 

[starhaiden]

what is harden hull and hull made of? there should be planets made of
sulphur,
silicon and oxygen(sand planet)
water planets with water that you can swim in
planets with rainforests
toxic planets with cloudy atmosphere that slowly damages people exposed to the planets air.
planets with mythical animals
futile planets
traveling planets that fly around in space and don't orbit a star
moons
planets with shaky ground

 

[FunnyBunny14]

Nah, the planned blocks for planets should fine. (The rocks will be the rock types that currently are used for asteroids.) I just think that:

• There should be something to fill the area around the planets. (Asteroids, moons, space stations, etc.)
• The default sector size should be 2000.
• There should be more planet types.
• Better structures on planets.
• Fauna (space squids anyone?)
• There should be a config for the amount of asteroids in an asteroid sector (not really related, but I think it belongs in this list).

And don't forget:

PLANETS SHOULD LAG LESS!!!!!!!

 

[Valiant70]

PLANETS SHOULD LAG LESS!!!!!!!

Got any bright ideas on how to do that?
