Will we be able to fly the death cloud, surround planets...

... blow up whole worlds with planetkillers, and use vorlon toilets?

The Problem is how to implement this.
So far , planetes are BITMAPS used as background pics , just like the nebulae.
They are static , they don't fly around , they don't rotate and they don't blow up.

Well, we could make a planet a 3d-object , but due to scaling it would NEVER look properly. It would make the whole game ridiculous.

Therefore don't expect Vorlon planetkillers or Centauri Primus fire upon planet surfaces, it won't work ingame.

But this does not prevent us from making good missions with them

I think this one was finally a joke directed at all the stupid questions we answer (not mentioning the occasional good one however).

Want me to come up with a easily updated FAQ engine? Seriously, I've started seeing questions repeated and I've only been reading forums for a month or so =)

Good plan Seether!

Wow, that's a good idea Seether.
Should we make a FAQ topic that stays always as a first topic?

Skullar, it's just a joke, all i need is a starfury and a nial and i'm happy.

Bastard! We are working so hard and no-one gives any thanks for us!

A joke ? Well, but it can happen that newbies to FS2 step by who really don't know , so I answered it.

Fly deathcloud? Surround planets? Hmmm, I'm sure the B5 team could do that. Just as soon as the 600Ghz processors become available.

To a more serious post:

It would be good to create a few background bitmaps with a death cloud surrounding a planet, or a few with huge vorlon or shadow fleets very far off.

That would be interesting to fly the death cloud but I think it would be to difficult.
