Ok so heres the deal, I have way too much free time on my hands. This mod is going to be a MASSIVE planet mod including some of the best mods of this type such as Celestial Bodies and Sins Plus (if I can get permission). I would like to see 100+ planet types and 15+ star types including many of my own. But I cant do it alone, I need your ideas! If you have a planet type you would like to see in Sins just post it here and if its good it will go in the mod! Also i need your opinions on the mod name and ideas for a better name.
why are there no replies
except my two of course
If you could change some of the neutral nodes on gas giants and have some of the planet's extractors turned into moons that would be rad. The uncolonized mesh would be a simple moon with an icon on the top. the colonized would have mines on it or orbital platforms. I think you could even have particle effects where it looks like the orbitals shoot lasers into the moon.
that would be an epic win.
Well, it probably be better if you put planetary systems instead of single planets
and to Tkins, the way to do that right now if probably to replace the asteriod mesh with the barren moon mesh from the celestial or the distant star mod
What do you mean by that exactly?
That's exactly what I was thinking.
Well, Ive gotten permission to use the Celestial Bodies mod, Urban Expansion and Distant Stars still pending.
Also, I need some planet and star ideas
make it so after a planet is bombarded enough times it becomes a 'shattered' or dead planet with little value
Planet idea- Independant starbases, similar to pirate bases exept they dont attack and can be taken over, #2, a 'starship graveyard' of sorts that cannot be colonized- similar to space junk exept they hold a kind of salvage value
ok, I need a new mod name, turns out this is already taken by DANMAN
What I mean is that instead having 1 planet per gravity well, maybe have 3 or 4
oh, that would be cool
Can't. The game only allows one planet per well.
What if you make the mesh have multiple planets
the mesh "is" the planet. It might be possible to use something else in the well, that is then given another planet, or moon, or oversized asteroid, or asteroid mesh. But to be honest, unless the planet is huge, it will eat up a lot of space, meaning your ships and the enemies will be dodging large bodies in the well as they fight. Which might actually be a very cool thing.

Nice one...
You stole my mod name / idea....
I was going to use GALACTIC SINS as my next mod's name. Oh well, back to the drawing board then for a new name.
Let me know if you need any help, since I am doing this now too.
DANMAN
Oh, you can have the name, I dont like it much and was trying to think of a new one anyway. If you look at one of the above posts:
no, I mean I make the mesh have like 4 different spheres and texture the each individualy
