Hi folks!
just bought US on steam and am having loads of fun. i searched the forum for a general 'mod pack' and while i saw plenty of help regarding how to's i was wondering if there is an existing one already being used by the community.
generally i am looking for improved planetary models (that have a higher poly count so that they don't appear angular on zoom; maybe a rougher non-spherical selection of asteroids) as well as improved textures (non-pixelated sun, a more detailed earth, mars, etc.). it's fluff but i'm still asking ;).
on a side note, would love to see weather patterns in a new version! imagine watching a turbulent gas giants, morphing clouds on earth-like planets or erupting sunspots (in 3d!)! ooOOOoh, while i'm at it, a new view, neutrinos! ok ok, i'm getting ahead of myself, i'll settle for improved models and textures ;D.

:'( so i guess that's a negative. :sigh:

If you select any object, select to the Physical properties tab, and type 'sphere' into the "Model" textbox, it will increase the poly count.
A more automatic version of this is on the list of things to improve.
You can use the high-res textures from here:

to improve the texture quality.
Does that help?

Sure does, thanks for the direct response Dan! :D
