Status: offline 		Hello, super excited for distant worlds 2, looks great so far in the lets plays I have been watching! Now I understand the backstory for distant worlds is you are basically the surviving remnants of former great empires clawing your way back into space, but one thing that always bugged me in the first game was when playing as the humans (my favorite race) and you found the Sol system it was just a random system that looks nothing like the real Sol system.

So, I was hoping that when playing as the humans in Distant worlds 2 and you find the ancient home of the human empire that its actually accurate to the real Sol Systems you will find all the planets including Venus, Mars, and of course Terra and its moon Luna, I don't mind if Earth is no longer habitable let's say it took massive orbital bombardment during the ancient war.

Maybe it's part of the human story line I don't know but recolonizing Earth making it habitable again, colonizing, terraforming Mars and Venus as well would be so cool if playing the humans, reclaiming our birthright in other words. But for all of this to work you need to put a Sol system in the game that is actually the Sol System, now you might already have done this so my question for the devs is what is the state of the Sol System?

So I guess it might happen. However, keep in mind that in DW2 all planets rae procedurally rendered. From the heightmap up. Getting something tht looks even close to earth or mars would be realy hard with that.

Its not a must but i do hope they have added it or will in the future. I dont expect all the moons and stuff just the main planets and Luna, Jupiter and Neptune are also very pleasing on the eyes.

Status: offline 		Oh, did not know some of the planets where blown up thanks for the reminder, but even still finding the remains as you say would still be cool. Maybe there could be a chance you could find the Sol system in diffrent states, one where its mostly intact, one where its blown up and so on. Still some of the planets would still be there like the gas giants, probably Mars and Earth that got blown up.
