Random planet specification idea
« on: December 08, 2014, 12:59:28 AM »
I thought of a really neat idea to implement to Ubox 2, ya'know how when you generate a random star system you have the option to edit just about every variable regarding the number of planet's, moon etc. How about options to specify what planet's you want to spawn, an Oceanic world for example would be a pre-set so water worlds would spawn or water worlds with very little islands here and there , or dry arid worlds with very little water thus look dusty, barren-ish or planets similar to earth along with its silicate and iron composition, planet's gripped in an eternal winter.I'm well aware thing's like atmospheric compositions aren't added yet but this still could be handy and more convenient then cycling through the various planet's in the game. So um yeah ...

-Separate for gas giants, rocky planets and large moons mass/size range and distribution control options.

-Asteroid belts option

-Sort of "Abnormality" feature that will make probable planets or moons with weird parameters (like Uranus with it's extreme inclination)
