I propose CCP take image-maps from moons around the solar system and place those textures along with artist renditions of moons randomly throughout the moons of New Eden, similar to how they did the planets.


Or instead CCP could make a program that renders abysmally looking textures based on arbitrary criteria (i.e. 3-vector randomisation of the positions of features within a domain based on the type and dimensions of the entity we want to put in the game) and then touch them up with a expert effort so that they can be thrown away and the artist can instead just make 1000 variations of what has just been rendered so they can be told to do it again until they have made 1m files for CCP to eventually decide to renew the graphics of the moons in twenty years all whilst publishing in their blogs as to what these new moons could look like but just instead put a horrifyingly garish texture in the game based on their arbitrary 'pixel budget' and 'polygon budget' so that they can make more money using an image they found off of a search engine.

Yes this is exactly what CCP should spend their time and effort on

Confirming that the graphics team spending time doing graphics will negatively impact the rest of the game.
