How about other planets?
World Wind FAQ - World Wind WikiI would love to see a feature that showed day/night in realtime say taken from the USNO atomic clock. Perhaps a setting where you could follow the terminator and such.
Related QuestionsOuter Space FAQThere are several ways. 1) Send out colony ships and colonize uninhabited planets. 2) Or, construct an "outpost" on a planet from one you already control to the other that is uninhabited, in the same system. 3) Build ships to go out and take other commander's planets by force. 4) Trade planets with your neighbors. 5) Ask for freebies from your neighbors ... it might work! 6) Something very clever that I didn't think of yet ... Yes, if you choose to be Bionic.Related Questions

Related QuestionsWhere are the empty planets?
Space4k InfoThere are no empty planets. To colonize you need to build a colony ship, set it to colonize and send it to an empty space, then it "makes" you a planet there. And you'll have a planet with just a level one HQ, just like when you started the game. I suggest transporting resources to it so you can start building easily. Around every planet is the dotted line.

Bionics require high environment to function well. The other two races have no need to concern them selves about it. However, prior to choosing one of these two, all commanders will do well to use the higher environment planets (better planet types) to produce bio (food). Planet type is also limited by the available energy the planet has.Related Questions
What else can we do to planets?
OuterSpace:FAQ - OuterSpaceYou will want to research "habitable surface expansion" so that you can fully use the whole surface of each planet. Most planets start with about half of the total slots available for use. You will need to construct the habitable surface expansions to acquire use of the remaining unavailable slots. Another process that can be useful is to change a planets orbit. This technology becomes available in TL5. Orbits can be increased or decreased.
Related QuestionsWhat are the conditions necessary for life on other planets?
NASA's Web of LifeWhen we ask about life in the universe, we have one point of reference: terrestrial life. Terrestrial life is entirely DNA based. But, when we search for life beyond Earth, we do not necessarily go looking for DNA-based life. We look for things that exhibit the common features of our life; that is, a self-organized, catalytic system capable of replication and evolution.
Related QuestionsDo auroras occur on other planets? If so, which other planets?
Aurora FAQIf a planet has an atmosphere and is bombarded by energetic particles, it will have an aurora. Since all planets are embedded in the solar wind, all planets are subjected to the energetic particle bombardment, and thus all planets that have a dense enough atmosphere will have some sort of aurora.
Related QuestionsWhich planets are called the "gaseous" planets?
HubbleSite - Reference Desk - FAQsJupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are called the "gaseous" planets. Jupiter and Saturn contain the largest percentages of hydrogen and helium, while Uranus and Neptune contain the largest shares of ices – frozen water, ammonia, methane and carbon monoxide.
Related QuestionsWill JWST see planets around other stars?
The James Webb Space TelescopeThe JWST will be able to detect the likely presence of planetary systems around nearby stars from their infrared radiation. It may even be able to see directly the reflected light of large planets - the size of Jupiter - orbiting around nearby stars. It will also be possible to see very young planets in formation, while they are still hot. JWST will also detect planets that transit across their parent star.
Related QuestionsWhat do I need if I want to take pictures of the moon, planets and stars?
Howstuffworks "How Telescopes Work"Photographs of deep-sky objects, the moon and planets can be taken with conventional film cameras, CCD devices/digital cameras, and even video camcorders. Photography can be done without a telescope, with the camera "piggybacked" onto the telescope (i.e. telescope is used to guide the camera) or with the telescope as the camera's lens (prime focus photography).

Related QuestionsWhat is Vga Planets?
Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) - Vga PlanetsVGA Planets is a graphical, multi-player, play by electronic mail, space war game. This game simulates combat in space between galactic scale empires. The game emphasizes colonization of space and the development of the planets that you will find, colonize and/or conquer. How well you develop these resources will determine what kind of starships (freighters and capital ships) you will be able to produce and how well you will be able to defend your space and attack your neighbors.

Related QuestionsHow many planets are there in our solar system?
HubbleSite - Reference Desk - FAQsOur solar system officially has nine planets and one star: the Sun. In order from the Sun out, the planets are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. The discovery of an object larger than Pluto in 2005 rekindled the debate over whether such objects, belonging to the "Kuiper Belt" -- a collection of icy bodies located beyond Neptune-- should be called planets. Pluto itself belongs to the Kuiper Belt.
Related QuestionsWhich planets are called the "rocky" or "terrestrial" planets?
HubbleSite - Reference Desk - FAQsMercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are called "rocky" or "terrestrial" planets. They are similar to Earth in composition. Heat from the Sun evaporated lightweight elements like hydrogen and helium into interplanetary space. Mostly rock and metal was left in this zone and clumped together to form the inner rocky planets.
Related QuestionsHow come you don't have rings for the other planets besides Saturn like Jupiter?
NASA - JPL Solar System SimulatorRing models haven't yet been assembled; however, the rings of Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune are extremely dim and most likely invisible to the naked eye except at just the right geometry.
Related QuestionsWhich planets will be visible?
Jasmine' China Adventure Tours - Eclipse Tour FAQMercury will be fairly bright close above the sun (if you’ve never seen Mercury, this is your big chance!) and Venus will be further away to the upper left. Saturn will be further away still, but not as bright and possibly difficult. Due to the shortness of totality, you might want to keep the planet viewing to a minimum. [top]

Cassini-Huygens: FAQYes, Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune all have rings. None of those rings are as spectacular as Saturn's, but it appears to be a common phenomenon for large planets.
Related QuestionsWhat is the typical distance to the stars where Kepler will find Earth-size planets?
Kepler Mission > FAQThe distance is determined by the apparent magnitude range of 9th to 15th for the stars that Kepler will observe, the size of the star which determines the absolute magnitude of the various stellar types being observed and the size of the planet being detected. The detection threshold of Kepler is based on observing four transits of a 1.0 diameter Earth-size planet orbiting a 12th magnitude solar-like star. Since the Sun has an absolute magnitude of 4.
Related QuestionsHow many stars have planets around them?
PlanetQuest Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)A little less than 1% of the stable sunlike stars in the solar neighborhood have giant inner planets orbiting them. This statistic is the result primarily of the survey done by the radial velocity method of detecting extrasolar planets.
Related QuestionsIs there life on other planets? If so, are either you or God involved, or are your hands full here?
Satan's FAQ [Archive] - Freethought ForumYes, there is life on other planets. They have their own gods who created the whole Universe just for them, just like you do here. I could provide a variety of glib one-liners. Instead, since I am rather fond of this question, I'll flesh the answer out a bit. The Creator seems to define Evil as any knowledge that doesn't originate from His Word.
