Hey I wonder if we can have an update video in a "fire" system!!

We've had tons of update videos in regular rocky systems https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2albJYS-wI
We had an update video in an Ice System (#14) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8SOZxCXokg
How about adding fire system to the update video variety to the rock, ice and fire mix? By fire - I mean an inferno system (Io type worlds) in a system that's being wracked by insane gravitational pulls due to ,perhaps, massive blackhole/s in vicinity - causing some Lava planets to breakup and larger asteroids are remnants of the same lava world - with the semi destroyed lava world still spewing lava, as are the larger asteroids (smaller ones would have cooled a long time back duh:D) - giving a strong orange ting to the update video. I would love to see ICe in these system to see the ice, which is already implemented, refracting the orange -giving the entire system and the video a hellish inferno look?

If there are fire systems, I think this would be awesome. And if not, perhaps this guys has a potential project for a couple days in June:

yep! I'm even thinking the faction based setup would work in this setting -where the more "Extremist" (taliban in the remote afghanistan - the toughest mooks to hunt) pirate factions would be housed - holding enormous bounties and where mostly fleet warfare alone (hear hear.. now you definitely NEED to build your fleet of warships - strong gameplay feature and an incentive) to clear the nest!
Might also naturally hold some of the more lucrative ore giving filip to the above mentioned details

I would love to see a sun close up.

I'd love for him to implement something more than a ray effect for stars, too. I would like to mention, though, that it would totally throw the scale of the system all to pieces.

The scale is already thrown to pieces as suns already are physical objects.

At larger distances they get baked into the skybox to simplify light rendering, tough

Production & research are rollin', things are generally working

They see me codin'
They waitin'
I know what they're all thinking
I'm just so white n' nerdy

Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
Them nebula gettin' really purty
That space ice' gettin' dark n' dirty
I'm up all night until six thirty
I want to roll with-
production
But so far they just wantin' dogfights
Think I'm too white n' nerdy
Think I'm too white n' nerdy
I'm up all night until six thirty
Time for coffee, I'm gettin' thirsty

Guess we find out about that fire system soon.

As a long-time Weird Al fan, I approve.

Anyone else had to do a double take when F5ing for the new devlog since today's and yesterdays had the exact same posting time?

Neat.

Nice!

Ohhhh, this is going to be pretty
