It would be cool if you could actually see a graphical representation of planet anomalies, like the Antonov Rings, Meteor Strikes or the Kessler syndrome, on planets.

If the engine is capable of doing a satisfying one, why not?

Well if you think to combine that with the other idea floating around here yesterday. (Tech/Civilization/war represented graphically)

I think that would work in one texture (besides wardamage).

I like that.

This is a great idea. Anything to contribute to the uniqueness of individual planets, and to the beauty of the universe.

I've only played an hour or two but I'm already finding anomalies easy to overlook since they seem to generally unimportant. I find myself sort of going, "Oh, yet another ocean planet with some anomaly that gives +1 to dust, that's nice." and not being impressed by new planets anymore.

I would also suggest unique planet types, events and anomalies, but that's another topic I already posted to. You see this kind of...samey-ness problem in almost all 4x games, and I think it certainly hurts them.

Great idea! Each planet would more or less be unique, that would really make exploring more fun.

Actually, now that I think about it, I have found myself not paying much attention to the planets I'm colonizing. Well, except with regards to titanium 70 (?) and hexaferrum. I watch for those. lol.
