if you removed every planet and moon(well maybe not the moons cos of moon mining) from eve nothing would change. infact i dont remember seing any moons or planets really. its like background noise. you block it out because its pointless and unneccisery to gameplay. if they were more realistic then it might become harder to blockout and maybe people will take notice. as far as im concerned the new planet skins added nothing to eve
Yet.
Soon, or whatever soon is for CCP. They want to start allowing Planets to be interactive sorta. We never get to go down on them still, but we're able to own districts on planets. And those districts can have things put on them, which allows us to do something or other, which generates a profit for us somehow. And then you get to add in the whole Dust thing.... which I still think of as a hair brained scheme in how they want the two games to interact and is doomed to fail. They may make money on it, but I don't think it'll be able to sustain the numbers to allow Eve to interact with it the way they hope after the initial year. FPS players jump games too quickly.

It seems that something has happened with the implementation of new skins tho. I went around one of the systems I'm familiar with and it appears that at least those planets that were earlier listed as gas giants but lack the mass to be that have now terrestial or ice planet skins.
There is still issues with temperature ofc - for example planet with -20C average temperature (altho it is in habitable zone of spectral class F0 star - ie liquid water can (but does not have to) exsist in approx 1.5 to 3 au from star near lower boundary at 1.6 au) has skin of ocean planet. The skin is correct propably if even a bit generous, as in reality depending on greenhouse effect it might be even venus like and surface temperature by show info incorrect (deep ice age). Ofc surface temperature is highly speculative anyway as it depends on the atmospheric conditions in addition to distance from the star. Oh and atmoshperes also - the one I'm talking about does not have atmosphere according to show info altho it's approx as heavy as earth and has high enough temperature to have it. Hell, by it's average density it should have even rather large iron core.
I hope that one can interact also with ocean planets eventually, as they look rather nice. And planets that happen to be in ice age. Especially once the Dust arrives, as doing assault on some base in blizzard might be kind of interesting. Or at some floating mining platform during mild storm.

Ladies and Gents, now we know what was before the Big Bang - someone actually created an algorithm for proper planets! Ended up with a pretty bad system crash, the thing somehow worked though...
Jokes aside, I hope they'll increase the speed at which these new and interesting features, that are not related to something already implemented, come out. EVE + Incarna + Planetary Interaction + Atmospheric Flight + DUST = making a bombing run in a Kestrel over the heads of those poor DUSTers...
Too bad it'll prolly not happen in a bajillion years, if ever.

Seems like it is how we feared it is in the light of last devblog about planet graph: Planet gfx devblog. It sure explains how we can somehow get 'temperate' planets 60 AU from little red dwarf, but in my opinion it is not the best way to do it as it is not immersive. Some people do actually do sometimes 'show info' on the planets and tend to wonder what are those clouds made up of if the surface temperature is low enough to make everything except helium liquid but planet does not have enough mass to keep helium.
I hope there is enough time to do something about it before Dust arrives.

I made a thread of my own about this but nice to see I was not alone in my annoyance of planet info.
I am in support of this thread. The new planets are spectacularly beautiful, so I hope CCP rewrites the info to be in accordance to the planet types. And Im really waiting to see what Dust will allow us to do.

My god, people ***** and moan about how dated the planets look, so after giving them an overhaul people STILL complain?
I mean seriously, you can ***** that the ice planet close to the sun would break the laws and physics and melt, yet you use your ship's completely non-existent and entirely theoretical warp drive to get there in the first place and don't bat an eyelid?
What's wrong with that picture there? :)
This, really.

Yes! I support this. Every time I click the show info tab I get a little bit annoyed. And it's so unnecessary too, the algorithm to assign reasonably skins to planets with reasonable stats shouldn't have to be more than a few hundred lines of python.
Also, while they are at it, I would like to see a few temperate moons. That was cute in Avatar, and would be cute in Eve too.

But none of those sizes is able to generate temperate earth like planets at distances similar to Pluto. It's just that if you make star big enough it will go nova before you even get your poor planet properly settled into solid form.
As far as not batting an eyelid about warpdrive - this is supposed to be eve fiction. Planets are supposed to be 'real' ones as there is no backstory article around describing some mystical device keeping ice planets frozen at Mercury like tight orbits or temperate planets temperate at orbits far outside habitable zone. It's ok if devs state that this is supposed to be so and link 'the device' ingame item doing that. They have however in the past stated that starsystems are 'physically feasible' and we are complaining that what we see and what we read do not match.
