Im just wondering if CCP will be updating the graphics for ALL the planets come Dominion?
I think the new ones on Sisi look really cool and hope all the planets will look similar.
I know it seems silly that they would just chanche the graphics for a few planets and leave the rest lookin awful but who knows.

updating only the prime planets on TQ wouldnt make much sense - except they texture each and every planet by hand 
with the huge amount of planets in game, i guess there is sort of a "random generator" for them. iirc there was a statement somewhere, saying that they only updated the prime planets on sisi for testing purposes.
so i'm not "worried" about only getting the prime planets updated, but i havent heard anything about moons so far.
i think moons are way more often involved in scenery than planets are - at least it feels like NPC stations are anchored around moons more often than around planets. also POS towers being restricted to moons only, this adds up to moons being the main scenery background contrary to planets.
so... anybody spotted anything about a moon graphics update?

The planet graphics are procedural I believe, so they'd only need a pool of texture layers for the engine to chose from for a given planet to let all planets get a new skin. What each planet looks like should be the same for all players, but with procedural mapping it should be relatively easy to implement on all of the thousands of planets/moons in EVE.

I hope they are changing the graphics for all planets, but i dont get. Take a look at New Caldari Prime, its with the current Dominion graphics somekind of Mountain/land planet. But i do know New Caldari Prime is an populated planet. But i dont see any cities. Bit strange dont you think.

You're looking at a first public iteration of the system, I doubt they put in all the layers/fancy terrain already. This set is probably to test if it works for everyone or not, hence the central location of the worlds. I'd check again once the next update hits SiSi, they should get better with each Scrum cycle.

Actually, if you read the FF Brochure (which I have..) then you start out by reading Hilmar's introduction, in which he writes that "Dominion will finish what Trinity started, at last delivering breathtakingly beautiful planets and moons to New Eden."
So if that's true, then it's an overhaul for all planets and all moons :D

Yes
Though nothing stopping them from using random seeds for now, and add some extra logic behind the generators in a future patch.

Partially. Planet interaction is planned after Dominion, having districts on planets and that districts (some of them) being the battlefields of DUST, the other ones being for EVE players to play with. Although the planets are being prepared for DUST, it won't be until the next iteration that we'll see them prepared mechanic wise. Graphic wise they will in Dominion. Sov Dom system will be modular, the module for DUST will not be there yet.

It was stated that the planets in Eve will share the same graphics as the planets in Dust. They will look the same in each game, and they all will be unique from each other, it seems.
