REKT

Seriously though is this even necessary? Time in the game usually runs at days a second so it would be unneeded in my opinion. And how often do you attach to the planets surface after sending an object towards it to see it burn through the atmosphere.

in the next update can you make asteroids burn when they inter a planets atmosphere

Despite what some people seem to think, I can inform you that I have a task named "atmospheric collision" on my board, which is just that. Keep in mind that the simulation can run at very different time scales. Galaxies move on one, planetary orbits another, collisions yet another and objects in atmospheres in yet another still. Adding atmospheric collisions will bring something of interest into the lower time scale.

thanks for telling me that

then the Devs can just add a toggle option like with collisions and tidal friction
