Magnetic field
« on: May 15, 2015, 07:58:56 AM »
there will be a magnetic field system on the game ?, and for example; if you have a planet with a weak magnetic field, the solar wind will destroy the atmosphere and will bring some sort of solar radiation to the planet ? are those features, that are planning to add in the next alpha, or in the future ? ( if i wrote wrong sorry, I'm not a native speaker).   :)

Yes, those are features that are currently being added, and will eventually go into the game. We will be calculating magnetospheres (at least for planets with known magnetic fields) from solar wind pressures and the intrinsic magnetic fields of the planets. Those with magnetospheres that are too small will experience erosion of the atmosphere by solar wind. We are also working on showing auroral belts at the cusps of the magnetic fields.

That's all really awesome to know, but will magnetospheres be customizable?
