Not sure if this has been proposed already, or if its even needed. But some more planet textures would be a nice addition, its a little suspicious that large numbers of Terran planets share the same coastlines, same goes for ocean.

Very minor thing, but does become noticeable, thoughts?

Oh and on a side, the new anomaly representations on planets are VERY cool, looking forward to seeing the rest!

totaly agree with you. But maybe (or better "hopefully") the devs are already planing/doing that.

I like your idea. It's the first time in a long time that i spend a singificant time in-game watching the planet textures! They really add up to immersion. In an extent to what you have said, the luminosity of the system star and the planet's relative distance to it could also alter the light and shadows in the planet screen, so, depending on the star type, planet mass and planet distance from the star, the lighting/shadows would change over.

Perhaps ten different planet textures with a bit of code that prevents two planets in the same system from sharing the same texture at minimum.

Same for the moons, too. Not every moon looks the same. Just look at all the crazy different kinds of moons Jupiter and Saturn have.
