Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I love the PI in this game but it kinda just feels like putting a skill on the skill queue and just waiting for it to finish you know? It would be nice if when we entered "view planet mode" it would allow us to view more of the planets surface / landscapes.

I know most planets in the universe are either gas or just rocky but it would still be nice to be able to view this detail and when we place command centres and other PI objects on the planet, we place them on the ground of the planet.

At the moment all PI just looks like this

Once in this view we can look around the planet, see giant lakes, volcanos, mountains, forests etc. It's just a suggestion and in all fairness the artwork required to skin the planet with a landscape would probably be too much work just for a cosmetic enchancement but it's just a suggestion.

Would be nice :)
