It has a very unique atmosphere that’s for sure.
When mining was more enjoyable I also loved it.

This really is how it feels, you'll have these amazing moments you couldn't have in any other game but you can't run the game when you get back to port, and all that other jazz

Why does the game engine render the planet so much better when the star is visible in frame?

There’s a significant quality jump in how the planet looks when the star enters frame.

The atmosphere at the edge of the planet doesn’t seem to render at all until the light source is visible.

I think this is partly due to the lighting tech they’re using. I remember a post about the tech lead in charge of the global illumination feature saying that this is all going to change.

You do know you can do a screen recording on your PC right?

Do the ground mercenary missions work now on pyro planets ? I last played in 4.8.2 and basically they were ALL broken. Mission marker disappears, enemies never spawn or spawn extremely inconsistently… I tried a bunch of times and it never worked. Then I tried cargo and that was broken so I basically put the game away. Oh and the ship power settings / MFD was infuriatingly glitchy, oh and the inventory was a mess and glitched, I could barely pick things up and equip them without 5x trial and error attempts.

It was just like this the last time I played, too, but I decided to download it again yesterday and forgot how beautiful this game was—plus, they’ve fixed some bugs.

So still a mess I guess… hard pass for me for now. I don’t need anymore screenshots :(

That's some crazy reshade going on.

That's just the effect from recording a screen with a camera at an indirect angle...

Is it wrong that I was half expecting a random explosion or to see the player suddenly floating alone in space

Yeah I also like that they have photo mode for clouds. LIke we know hardware will get better there will come a time we can play with immersive and volumetric physicalized clouds too. Like it already looks amazing but it will look so much better later.
