Awww, gee! But I wanted screenshots now...

*kicks dirt*

One thing that really surprised me is, when i land on the planet and look at the station, how big it appears in the sky ( note that it appears almost black: i haven't applied atmosphere to the shading of the objects yet ). I checked and rechecked the scales ( of the planet, the station, their distances, etc.. ), and everything is correct. That thing is.. huge! I'm no expert, but i think it's taking a large part of the moon as seen from Earth.

The station is 2.5 Km wide and 10 Km high. It is in orbit at 300 Km from the surface. It really gives a strange feeling in the planet's sky.. as if it was out of place.. a bit "unreal". When i'll have the atmosphere applied to it, i'll try to take some screens too.

as i've stated before, i think (while reading your extra comment) Infinity will have a huge educational impact on your imagination of scaling. I mean, i have absolutely no idea how big plane Earth is. But if i fly by a similar planet in Infinity i will be able to overview everything and just explore the hugeness of everything.

I think it's a wise thing to keep in mind that this game will get great attention from the educational side of our society. To state it blunt: insert "fun" facts about space. Of course that's corny and silly after you've clicked away the third annoying tooltip with a smart fact. Maybe you or someone else comes up with an idea of implementing 'information' in the game (we all have a hunger to explore, why not adding a dimension to that)

I think missions with the coolest themes will be the ones that drag you into the game most. You must really be able to feel either a space pirate or a merchant or whatever you like (like in 'Spaceballs', and the books of Douglas Adams: Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy and such, it was Douglas right?)

-looking forward to those screeny's

Why is it only 300 KM from the surface? That's a very, very low orbit.
