You need to make the Earth map more realistic - currently it looks like it was grabbed from some cartoon. At the very least, give it some clouds.

Not quite but it is fairly big in comparison.

NecroBob -  you can adjust the rotating speed in the TBL file - the two numbers next to a turret/subsystem are hp percentage (compared to that of the hull) and rotation time (time in seconds to make a 360 deg. turn).
And we intend to improve as much as we can on the planets...

Funny, last time I can here, I could see the pictures.  Now all I get is the dreaded red X.

From what I can remember, they were very good.  What resolution maps did you use?

Want to compare with Darks planets, which used a single 512x512 on a 32km wide body.  Great at a distance, but not so good close up...

Good.  Incidently, I found a site where a chap has created great big maps of the solar planets for use in renderings.  Very high details.  Also includes model files for Phobos and Demios.  Not sure if they can be used though.

If you want a 1024 x 512 map of earth, complete with clouds, just yell (just finshed it!)

Er, Free Terran, you do know just how big the planets are?

The Moon is 3476 KM WIDE!

Darks models were 32km, apart from Saturn, which included it's rings....

I have a 100th scale version of the moon in my game, and it is HUGE!!

Mars is about twice as big, and Earth is about 4 times the size of the moon.....

If you want to do, by all means do so, just be aware of the size these models would be......

uhm, i'd say, go for it, but keep it low poly, or only take a part of the planet to show. and even if you put such a gigantic thing in, but leaver some room for theplayer, it shouldn't be a problem from what i heard, but note my siggy.

also, IIRC this was already discused in the SCP forum, there's a singil line of code which determines the bounding box. do a search of the SCP forum.

Hey, don't be discrouaged.  I'm thinking for redoing my model of the moon to be true scale. But it will need that 4096x2048 map...

If you plan to scale, well, I'd say you should keep all the planets to the same scale IMHO.

Darks planet models were 32km, almost 100th scale for the moon.

I'd suggest a 100th scale then:

Moon:   34.76km
Mars:    67.94km
Earth:   127.563km
Venus:  121.036km
Jupiter: 1429.84km
(all the ones I've got sizes for ATM)
Note that Jupiter is not quite spherical.  That figure is for the Equator.  The planets height is about 90% of that.

If you like, I could dig out dia's for the other planets, plus any moons you need......
Maybe in exchange for getting some of my designs into the game... ;7
