That's what I meant with the Specular Level, the water reflects more than the rest of the earth's surface, or I am confusing Specular Map with Specular Level, well anyways, this is what I meant...

The atmosphere is well... much better than nothing, but it's still noticeable it's a sphere. As for the night and night lights Map I remember trying before but didn't really get good results.

are you implementing the planet as a skybox or as a ship? you might try one or the other and see if that helps. also try making the planet a child of the ring too. that might do it.

It's a "ship", yeah.

And currently the sphere is a child of the rings object. The thing is that the model itself works all right now, but it affects the way other models behind it are rendered...
