Re: (FQM) Planet Star Glows Poll
#2 seems a little dull and I understand what you mean by #1 sending out light. Still any improvement to what we have now would be a great benefit for the entire community. It will be interesting to see how the final product turns out.

Re: (FQM) Planet Star Glows Poll
I like the idea of planet glow, but I think it should be subtle.

Re: (FQM) Planet Star Glows Poll
It looks ok, but you should have used a more multi-cultural system to display the effects...

Re: (FQM) Planet Star Glows Poll
I don't want to figure out all the glow colors for the various atmospheres before I get the glow radii by size set...  |

Re: (FQM) Planet Star Glows Poll
Hmm, why isn't the ringed planet glowing? And why are those planets in the upper right so bright and shiny?

Re: (FQM) Planet Star Glows Poll
I'm with SJ. The more subtle version is pleasing to the eye. Well, my eye, anyway. Eyes, even.

Re: (FQM) Planet Star Glows Poll
That type of O2 gas giant is pretty bright and shiny in its own right. The glow just exacerbates it.
