basically the same thing but my planet classes are more for categorizing and not for high detail so a Molten Class H (generally uninhabitable) is saying its a hostile environment with extreme heat. also im "stealing" some of your info to make the post more informative/useful
3 hours ago, 0something0 said:The different types of planets/objects that exist are so many that it would be foolish to categorize them into a handful of classes. However, it would be useful to have a general descriptor of major features:
- Size
- Atmospheric pressure
- Temperature
There could also be some other importa
Size:
- Subsphereical - Too small to form a sphere
- Micro - Large enough to be spherical, but too small for unaided human habitation without bone decay
- Massive - Large enough for long-term living
- Supermassive - Mass too high for long -term habitation without issues, but low enough to not turn into a star
Atmospheric Pressure
- Vacuum - No or exosphereic atmosphere
- Marginal - Enough air to account for but not enough for unpressurized habitation
- Suitable - Enough air to walk around without pressure suits (THIS DOES NOT GUARANTEE SAFETY FROM ATMOSPHERIC COMPOSITION)
- Extreme - Too high for unpressurized habitation
Temperature (NOT distance from sun or radiation energy received)
- Hadean - Hot enough for molten rocks
- Gaian - Warm enough for "normal" liquids to stay liquid (i.e. water, gasoline, unsaturated fats)
- Cryogenic - Cold enough for substances such as methane to be liquid
- Supercryogenic - Cold enough for liquid H2
This gives us 4^3 or 64 different types, and we are at the tip of the iceburg. Notable real-life objects categorized would be:
- Venus: Massive, Extreme, Hadean
- Titan: Massive, Suitable, Cryogenic
- Jupiter, Saturn: Supermassive, Extreme, Cryogenic
- Uranus, Neptune: Supermassive, Extreme, Supercryogenic

this it’s not what should be in the game, just ideas for it .
planet classes and a brief description
Class D (planetoid or moon with little to no atmosphere)
Class H (generally uninhabitable, very dangerous and long-term habitation not recommend)
Class J (gas giant)
Class K (habitable,with special gear)
Class L (marginally habitable,may contain life)
Class M (terrestrial aka earth like)
Class N (sulfuric/toxic)
Temperature
Hadean/hot - Hot enough for molten rocks
Gaian/normal - Warm enough for "normal" liquids to stay liquid (i.e. water, gasoline, unsaturated fats)
Cryogenic/cold - Cold enough for substances such as methane to be liquid
Supercryogenic/very cold - Cold enough for liquid H2Atmosphere/pressure
Vacuum - No or Little atmosphere
Marginal - Enough air to account for but not enough for unpressurized habitation
Suitable - Enough air to walk around without pressure suits (THIS DOES NOT GUARANTEE SAFETY FROM ATMOSPHERIC COMPOSITION)
Extreme - Too high for unpressurized habitationplanet size
Subsphereical/space rocks - Too small to form a sphere
Micro/moon - Large enough to be spherical, but too small for unaided human habitation without bone decay
Massive/earth-like - Large enough for long-term living
Supermassive/gas-giants - Mass too high for long -term habitation without issues, but low enough to not turn into a star
Earth like Class M (terrestrial aka earth like)
suitable atmosphere levels
normal temperature
and other earth like features
Average-environment
.suitable atmosphere levels
.normal temperature
.around 1 g of gravity
Environmental hazards
.fauna and flora

Molten Class H (generally uninhabitable, very dangerous and long-term habitation not recommend)
a world of lava and ash
rich in basic resources but are extreme hazardous to gather
example mustafar
Average-environment
.Hot/Hadean

Not Legitimate planets below
large habitats that are titanic but not planets
Hive Worlds/city

fan Dual Universe lore
.ark ships theirs more thane one ark ship
.along with the death of earth cam unethical and extremely dangerous experimentation which led to some very bad things and the accidental destruction of earth before the neutron-sweep struck.
.luckily for us the souls of the future we left before it all happen
.but soon after we left prototype monster began to stalk us following us deep into the void we the children of the future survive only because of the sacrifices of are fellow ark ships soon we where all that was left, but after "redacted"years we learned of A experimental ark ships fitted with forbidden technologies that doomed are edan and nearly damned humanity to extinction ,we had to kill them every man woman and child an that forsaken ship it was the only way maybe god can forgive us for are crimes. rest in peace to are sister ship Charon your sacrifice will not be in vain
.ark ship preceded to arrive on humanity new eden [game starts]
.but far in distance the sister ship Charon floated with a experimental item needed for humanity's success and prosperity it was only a prototype but are best hope
.something lurks on the Charon something dangerous.but so does the future of humanity the warp-gate
n.NOT the story just loose lore
.re-spawn is cloning but you have a chip in your head that lets you stay you
.explains destroy ark ships and escorts randomly in space
.can use it to drive other narratives
.basically near/approaching death drove humanity to dangerous technology , which killed it before neutron-sweep did
i got carried away with that one part my insanity's leaking out its 4 am
pray for the Storm to never come again.

sorry if its hard to follow
-
a strange idea but here we go
and i don,t know what customization options will be in the future
if a faction/skilled trusted person makes a uniform,medal ect ,check it look over it and either reject or accept it as a new cosmetic item for the faction and add it into the game faction gets ther item and you get a small amount of free content
this could also make a small modding community pop up, witch could generate more cosmetic things.
examples
.a admiral uniform for the Terran union
. weapon skins
.a soldier battle suit
ect
is this a good idea i can think of multiple problems like
.hidden things in said items
.arguing over why something didn't get in
.ect
this is a bizarre idea
-
remove Cloak for in-game balance
make power armor good for hostile planets like molten toxic ect
make all none combat jobs 3 times slower for balance
need power packs [like micro-fusion cells from fallout]
and give power armor night/thermal vision
power armor should be very expensive and have tires, and only carry 3 ability's
so like .i want speed ,shields and radiation resistance
-
this is more of future lore / tale
.background the ship arrived at its destination before we did and is moderately damaged from meteor impacts
a second ark ship hails us with a automatic distress message

Humans generally do not inhabit extreme environments. There are organisms referred to as extremophiles that do live in such conditions, or just crazy players
a "guide" to extreme environment planets
why we need hostile environments
.give variety to the player-base and allow for more adventure, technical thinking , ect
.new ore and mining for rare materials only on these planets "cough" hazard pay "cough"
Planetary Hazards
Toxic Class N (sulfuric)
. toxic from level 1 [the airs mustard-gas} to level 10 [ your capital ship starts to turn into a lake]
.has a ore such as uranium plutonium thorium or supernova shards aka really radioactive ore
.radioactive
survival tip
.stay short duration
.bring oxygen
.dont go un protected from radiation and or acid
ocean none hazardous Class M (terrestrial)
Gaia/Eden none hazardous Class M (terrestrial)
gas-giant Class J (gas giant)
.see gas giant post for more info.high gravity
.crush depth
.blind if inside
.super winds
.electromagnetic radiation
survival tip
.dont go deep
.bring ballast/balloons
.Dont even Try it, it is insane weather just stay at home
.bring a sonar and a crush suit
cracked /shattered Class H (generally uninhabitable)
.a world hit by an especially large asteroid or from other ways
. basically a molten asteroid belt in a planet sized area
.lots of ores but lots of volatile explosive gas or something like that
survival tip
.dont bring big ships
.dont ram rocks
.dont dig without scanning thoroughly
molten Class D (planetoid or moon with little to no atmosphere)
.HOT "my poor boots"
.lots of common ore in abundance
.lava can rise "probably to much for the server"
.good for ship forges/printing "not typed yet"
.ash can block out the sky
survival tip
.Dont drink the lava
.stay uphill
.be very about heat and heat damage
moon Class # can be any form of planet type D,H,J,K,L,M,N
.usually no atmosphere
. can be any form of planet type usually barren
survival tip
.bring oxygen
.scan before descending
.moons are like a Gamble
Arctic Class K (habitable, as long as pressure domes are used) or Class D {no atmosphere}
.very Cold / cold
.rising snow "probably to much for the server"
.can freeze machinery during a blizzard
. blizzards
survival tip
.heavy gear
.snow-shovels
.bring oxygen generator theirs plenty of ice
To survive the hazardous environments you need new gear suits,vehicles and buildings built for the task
and knowledge on how the planet functions
Space Hazards
.Nebula's a cloud of gas and dust in outer space
.Black holes {self explanatory}
.asteroids {self explanatory}
Hazard Basic Info
radiation
.a simple counter that builds up till it kills the player
.radiation shielding is advised
cold
.a basic temperature system that counts down till the players death
.heavy clothing is advised
Heat
.a basic temperature system that counts up till the players death
.heat regulated clothing is advised
toxic
.a very unspecific hazard
.can range from anything from mustard-gas to fluoroantimonic acid Ph -28
.a sealed suit to protect from acid rain and poisonous gases is a necessary
Crush pressure/abyss
.the bowls of a gas giant with pressure so strong it can pancake you in an instant
.Crush Armor is required to survive in the upper abyss levels but not forever it will eventual kill you
.causes blindness and requires a sonar to see
Molten rocks and explosive pockets
.dont ram they will hurt you
.make sure you dont dig theme they will hurt you
they are abundant in cracked /shattered worlds
fell free to tell me if i forgot anything. i know theirs a few i missed

Gas Giants a large planet of relatively low density consisting predominantly of hydrogen and helium.
A brief and to the point suggestion to add gas-giants
PERKS
. gas filtering for resources
. hard to access bases and facility's such as a prisons "ect"
. hiding spot if deep enough
. catch asteroids in there orbit
. disposal of unwanted rivals
.scuttle ships
.Hydrogen reactor fuel
CONS
. BIG
. Hard to access
. Have to make a crush depth
.strong gravity
.ballast maintenance
.if you go outside without a suit you'll get pancaked
.violent storms and winds
.if your base is damaged it could easily sink into the abyss
.very poor sight need a sonar if deep
.extreme temperatures
.electromagnetic radiation

Yes players need to categorize them, but this is just a general categorization, and it’s not what should be in the game, just ideas for it .
