Will planets in the star map be an actual render of the real ones, so that you can zoom in on any location and, to some degree, see the terrain as it is on the real planet?

Zane BienUI developer/programmer/designer

Yes, this is something that I really want to do. We should have a planet view, and it's basically almost like Google Earth: you can scroll in and see any portion of the terrain, but you might not see all of the things that you've discovered off the bat. You can see the base terrain, but as you find things, derelicts and caves and mining resources and things like that, they'll start showing up along with that and integrate into that map. And it's also probably going to tie into the landing stuff as well. So you want to be able to see terrain as well. So we've got to make that work with the map system.
