Planet Creation Thread

[Mr X]

I'm just saying, we dont have to pay attention to detail on the one that the characters dont land on.

[iron maiden]

What I meant to say is that do they have any different features, is one dead, one alive in geologic terms?

[Mr X]

I'd say the storyline works better if the moons are dead and the planet is alive.

[iron maiden]

In that case I think it would be a good idea to have them similar to luna or Ganymede, dead and with little geologic activity.

[Clavin12]

I agree. Do we all?

[Feared_1]

It can't be too plain, though. At least stay away from them for long missions. Staring at a single color with not much activity really is a huge turnoff.

[iron maiden]

Well of course there will be some differences, if now it would be like the first two BZ1 missions, nothing but craters and rocks.

[Clavin12]

Pools of liquid nitrogen. Slow flying and damage done over them.

That stuff is so sold it would seize your ship up... no reason we can't have something else though

[Nielk1]

This CP seems so limited.

If I had my way you would be on so many worlds, dense jungles, expansive deserts, geologically active moons with steam chutes that actually throw you into the air. Missions would have unique objectives to the planet like capping old BZ1 style geysers for use as power or something else, capturing relics, escorts, wave defense, and puzzles.

What he have now just seems so drab.

[bigbadbogie]

Trust me... you will get your way.

[Clavin12]

Jungles and deserts are avaliable.

That would mean scrapping almost all of the storyline and starting over, do you really want to do that again?

[Feared_1]

That's what I was thinking. I'll puke if I play on the same map over and over and over. It really is limited. We don't need to scrap the story, just tweak it to allow more diverse words. It might not even take much tweaking at all.

[iron maiden]

Oh, what if on swamp part of the planet, there are pools of quicksand that can suck up your tracked vehicles?
