A fun idea.

Maybe it would be possible to hold a contest, and the winner gets a free Universe Sandbox key?

Why would someone be here if they didn't have universe sandbox?

You're forgetting that Dan would have to give his okay for that kind of thing.

I got it. With the limited premium trial in US.

Whoever creates the best simulation in that time wins a full copy?

I know, it's brilliant.

You can already see.

Does it matter either way?

A simulation is pretty hard to quantify. Is a star going supernova more impressive or a system with hundreds of moons and comets or an galaxy of real stars more impressive? It's slightly vague. You could rate a system by visual appeal, realism, etc

I agree with Mudkipz, you can't really justify something like that. Plus it will be hard to make an amazing system with added textures and amazing orbits when it's just a 60 minute trial.

I feel so stupid. I thought you were talking about my comment. Asking me how I quantify my Idea brilliant.
That was a big misunderstanding.

Brilliant. I would call all of those things, it all depends on how well and accurate you can create them.

Mrt has a point, there's only so much you can do with a free trial, especially if it's the first time using US and there's no way to get past the trial period (extend it or otherwise continue without having to pay) without some kind of hack. And no I'm not advocating the use of hacks (don't even know where to look). I'm aware of the fact that I shouldn't talk about hacks (or at least the use of them) but I'm just laying out the facts here.

Dan could very well send out an update that gives all users who have an expired trial, 1 full day of premium. I'm sure that would give enough time for someone to create a work of art.
