| If I understand correctly star glow is rendered only on the cube faces which hold the said star. Since this is the most prominent glitch (visible cube edges when the star is close to it) when viewing in cube, fisheye or cyllindrical projection I was wondering if it was possible to turn off star glow. I mean just the post processing effect (if this is the case). This would greatly improve the overall experience in fisheye mode. Or if it was possible to render the glow on all faces but i think that would be more work.

| Gas and Ice giants will lose detail textures when seen from a distance, as if the base cylindrical was missing:
This issue seems difficult to reproduce, as far as I can tell. :/
Specs: Dell Inspiron 5547 (Laptop); 8 gigabytes of RAM; Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-4210U CPU @ 1.70GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.4GHz; Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit; Graphics: Intel® HD Graphics 4400 (That's all there is :( )

| If a catalog planet is too small and has an atmosphere, then the atmosphere height will be undefined with no atmosphere composition.
Example
To reproduce this:
Code Planet { Radius 500 Atmosphere { Height <ANY> Pressure <ANY> } Orbit { <orbital parameter goes here> } }
NVIDIA 960 GTX 2048MB

| SpaceEngineer, why you've used a simple Pluto map and not one of those fictional "complete" maps? 
The universe is not required to be in perfect harmony with human ambition.
CPU: Intel Core i7 4770 GPU: ASUS Radeon R9 270 RAM: 8 GBs
(still don't know why everyone is doing this...)

| I found an easter egg... Y-wing spacecraft. It's right next to the Milky Way, but I didn't get a chance to see it closely because I quickly clicked away, and now I can't find it. Was it always there or is it there as of this update?

Because they're not real, and the focus of SE is realism. Why would he choose to falsely represent bodies in the solar system?

| Quote n0b0dy ( ) I did what you said (engaged hj sequence and quickly change control another ship) and it didn't crash. So it is graphic-related.
Ok thanks for tha info.

That's not star glow, but star sprites. They cannot be turned off (otherwise you can't see stars in the galaxy).

They are "too fictional". I didn;t saw fictional maps like used for Triton.

There are no easter eggs. It may be a spacecraft you have built in previous patch. If you install RC1 correctly (in it's own separate folder), there must be no spacecraft.

I haven't built any spacecrafts, ever. I use SE only for exploring, relaxing and screenshots. No other person than me have access to SE. Mentioned spacecraft is a commonly known spacecraft from Star Wars ( I did not watched Star Wars, so I had to google that up).
I have no idea how that ended up there. Now I'm genuinely scared.

| There is a default spacecraft in SE called the "Y-wing", iirc. It's not the Star Wars one. Ctrl-F3 will bring up the list of existing spacecraft, you should be able to find it again there.

However, these ships are no longer present in SE 0974-RC1. If Mixa uses this version, and has instatlliert correctly, this ship should no longer exist.
Don't forget to look here.

| Hi, Spaceengineer!
On the beginning of your post on this thread, I noticed the SE 0.9.7.4 RC1 released date is wrong, it should be 15 February 2016, not 15 February 2015. Thanks!
Cheers,
Vincent

But the ships have to be built first. In the previous version, some ships were already flying around somewhere in the universe. 
Don't forget to look here.

| great work SpaceEngineer, thanks!
Until now all of terra with multicellular life that I found have an atmosphere composed by ~95% CO2 and ~5% SO2... there's some specific scientific reason for that? it should not be assumed that the presence of complex life could influences a bit more the atmospheric composition?
but the real question is, in this version of space engine you can find something else? and how likely? :-D

| Ettore_bilbo, I don't think he's implemented life changing oxygen content yet.
Tips for finding Earth-Like planets: Look for F, G, or K Class stars. M class habitables will almost always be tidelocked. Oceanias can, of course, also be habitable, they just have tiny amounts of land.
