The atmosphere glows in FQM bypass that nicely, allowing you to tell atmosphere type at a glance.

Of course, if just a little bit of care had gone into the planet textures, you would be able to recognize the atmosphere type just by the planets' colors alone, as we could in SE4... But alas, we have blue oxygen and blue methane planets that are indistinguishable from each other, and yellow CO2 and hydrogen ones...
