So far I've added a new spaceship and a new feature for 0.5.5: system backdrops. Here's a picture.
People have mentioned changing the behavior of spaceships colliding with planets. In what way would you like that modified?

That's a tough one. Making them explode makes the game WAY too hard.
Perhaps have some auto-orbit thing?

with most of the things i can think of, you would have to make the scale of the planets much bigger. and i dont think that would be a good plan. maybe it should just be that if you crash into it you land on it automatically, then you wouldnt have to mess with a landing button, and there would be no bouncing. the only problem would be accidentally crashing into planets

| I think the simplest way would be to have a collsion sphere that's a bit bigger than the planet. You could call it a planetary shield or whatever. |

Maybe paul could make it so you would hear a crunch, and then the life points would be subtracted. then, after like ten bumps, you would be stranded, and have to resort to stealing other's ships.
