Is the size and detail of the planet in the Arena Commander map, Broken Moon, indicative of the size and detail of planets we can expect to see in the Persistent Universe? Will we see lots of variation in planet size, from plutoids to gas giants? Will stars be appropriately massive in size?asked by Captain Nakara

Honestly, the planet in Arena Commander, it's too small. So we are planning on having much bigger. Now we are working on some background technology that will make that possible. We're talking about double precision. Yes, double precision. So we are going to have actual bigger planets in the final game. There should be some variation in the planets as well. They won't be quite life-size. Can't quite pull that off. But stars are a little different because you never get close to a star. So you don't need to waste all the polys on a giant star.
