I was just a little curious if the Devs plan on adding anything that might alter how planets appear? An example would be a max population planet full of humans might have cities able to be seen on the surface of it. Perhaps a planet full of Cravers might appear more hive-like, or if it is depleted via them "consuming" it, perhaps it'd look dead. (Perhaps like a Barren world, but different?)



Perhaps there may not be any point to this, now that I think about it. Since we have the ability to terraform worlds into whatever we wish. Which leads me to ask if they are planning more race specific research? I wouldn't mind if tech trees leaned more and more to being totally unique for each race. That would be much harder to balance and stuff though, I suppose.

As much as this would be mostly visual flavour to the game, it would definitely add just that much more appeal.



Especially if there was something added to the moons that was visible from the system screen, to show you're exploiting them/explored/ect...
