The original :V: ones would be nice (like the lava planet and the one used for the planet in Deneb in the first mission) but more [better] planets would be nice too.
who needs a signature? ;)

Hm...

I'd like you to make more. :)  And make a semi-habittable desert world (desert with islands of shrubbery, some oceans of course...) and I'll take it. :)

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil

Shhhh ;)

Seriously though, yeah, I wouldn't leech directly from Mr Martin, I wouldn't give him to much credit for them either (since it's only a technique, and anyone with Photoshop could discover it - he just happens to have written it down). But they did originate from his work. Damn impressive they are as well.

I had a whole set of them...

The problem is, FS2 will not accept them, it just shows black space. (I tried with .TGAs)

also make sure they dont get that gay black edging when over layed on nebula nd things. ([V] originals sometimes do that and it looks very tacky)

yes, because they have 00FF00 = transparent, they do not alpha blend. Another problem with making good 32bit planets work. I dont know why but they don't even show up  :(

Have you tried making the Planets as JPG's Lightspeed, it may be a problem with TGAs because of the alpha planes or the like?
