A cool expansion idea from shasla5...

Sat Jun 14, 2003 2:19 am by shasla5

Started with a few select planets, you could make a few planets fly aroundable. Making use of the docking ring would ensure a smooth ride and no damage, but you can actually enter the planet form anywhere. The planets' surfaces would be composed mostly of the same terrain repeated itself for countless miles, but on some planets there would be other cities with places you could land. City buildings would be destructable. You could get in planetary dog fights with friends. Another idea: make the people in the universe smart. If you destroy a station, they will rebuild it, or repair it if you damage it.

The Monkeys are coming. Beware!

that would ROCK! i would like to have an opportunity to attack ground targets. unfortunately the only chance you get is that bit near the end with the nomad system (that was sweet, does anyone know how to do that?) low-altitude dogfights would also be cool, but i think this all would be hard (if possible at all) with fl's engine (tho you could have a special system set up like that nomad level)

I believe that the Nomad level was a special setup. I don't think the atmosphere thing is possible because:
a) the planets are limited in size, if you go above this limit you crash out when you enter that system

b) have you tried to land on a planet manually? If the engine was capable of this, I do think that the devs would have at least allowed it on 1 or 2 of the border worlds
