The sol system gas giant problems

[Redwallzyl]

it seems that all the gas giants in the sol system are recolors of Jupiter. i hope this will be fixed in the future as it just doesn't look right.

It is a bit disappointing since the data you need to texture them properly is in the public domain.

 

[Mitchz95]

While I wouldn't exactly call this a pressing issue, it would be nice to have more accurate depictions of said planets. And using the textures for alien gas giants would be nice, too.

 

[Ariphaos]

Should be easy to mod, at least.

Ceres annoys me the most.

 

[4verse]

I agree, though no deal breaker oc

Personally, I came into the thread to see Pluto's mention And after 5 posts it hasn't been. I am shocked, SHOCKED I tell you. And a bit confused.

 

[Matthias77]

Make Pluto great again!

Literally unplayable

 

[Summin Cool]

my life is ruined!

Why not mod in the extra textures yourself?

Merge Stellaris with Space Engine!

Merge Stellaris with Space Engine!

Once I get my new machine later this month, my hope is to make a Stellaris <-> Space Engine conversion script.

We'll see how feasible that is, though.

I thought you were going to bring up the very likely to exist fifth gas giant recently uncovered through mathematics.

I think that was neither likely nor recent, but I leave that up to the forum's astronomers.

It's considered almost certain to exist at the moment and was uncovered in January of this year I believe.

Btw, how big can a starsystem be in this game? Like 20 planets or so?

Hmm, should be possible to create a fake planet as dwarf star, so we get a glimpse of binary star systems.

I can assure you they are not. The gas giant texture was created from scratch (and then color variants where created), they do look similar to Jupiter though, they ought to since they need to match, all a being gas giants.

Jupiter itself thought uses a unique texture, only for that planet.

If we get confirmation that planet IX is a real thing, will it be added to the default sol system?

 

[Wouter445]

you do know the red spot is just a bad weather day right?.

They already said that yes, if one of the dwarf planet in the Sol system is considered as a planet, it will become Sol IX .

Planet IX is estimated to be a small (10x earth mass) gas giant, not a dwarf planet.
