On terraforming gas giants

Post by Mr Sol »

Tell me, its not possible, right? I bet it isnt...

I was thinking in making a small graphic of a small orbiting station to replace the original one once its "terraformed": the station is built.

UM5 added moon graphics to some gas giants and they were able to be terraformed.

But how to do the terraforming trick? I change the planet id to something else, make a graphic and link them? But what about Jupiter and cia? Any ideas? I dont want to copy UM5 content.

I checked UM5 and I didnt like the way the moons are displayed. I think it would be nicer if you could see them actually orbiting the planet. I think it can be done. And I noticed he changed the planet letter from blue to red so it can be terraformed. How can this trick be done?
