The issues:

-Moons are listed as atmospheric anomalies which is simply wrong

-Moons can be pretty accurately mapped by ships within a system without the need for expeditions, especially with the technology in Endless Space, the same probably goes for some other large scale anomalies

The proposed solutions:

-Give moons a separate category

-Implement system expeditions that discover all moons in a system at once, this could even include extra anomalies like special effects of the local sun

Hello there,

Thank you for your feedback and for being the first, second and third author of the Idea section!

I can't promise anything but I have added it to my feedback list.

Have a nice day :)

I'm still trying to come up with some more ideas to post here, the more the merrier for testing the process. And I understand you can't promise anything. Some ideas are bound to make it into the game, some not. At this stage I'm most worried about the planet grid anyway, this and the other idea are kinda tertiary compared to the issues with the planet grid. Maybe I should add a subjective urgency indicator or so...

Greenlit

The GREENLIT status is given by the dev team to ideas they will really likely implement in the near future. Almost there!

This was kind of bothering me too. It makes sense to make moons an atmospheric anomaly in the Alpha, but to have a whole expedition just to find it is a little strange. Realistically, you could just look up and see the moon of a planet you're on. It's one of those anomalies like Kessler Syndrome that I think should already be 'discovered' right when you enter a system.

I also like the idea of moons possibly being something you colonize before the planet, espeically with gas giants. There's no reason why moons that are more readily habitable than the planet around which they orbit shouldn't be able to be colonized. Basically, you shouldn't have to wait until you can colonize gas giants before you can colonize a gas giant's Terran moon.
