I have some ideas for what can be done with planets.

planets could be landed on and you can trade with them.

they have multiple landing places and each one has its own demands/supplies.

planets are much harder to land on than stations due to their atmospheres.

If you have more ideas, post them here.

Do you realize how big a planet is?

epadafunk, please read the stickied post at the top of the forum for a list of game improvements that have already been suggested (sometimes over and over and over again).

Celebrim is right planets are HUGE. the only way i see them being implementable is in conjunction with an autopylet. Esentaly you would fly your ship to a certain minimam distance from anny other large object in the direction of the planet, then activate the auto-landing system.

If most players do want the feel of landing on a planet than perhaps some thought could be given to the idea of making some stations that are built on small moons This would be somwhat like landing on a planet but would not require as huge an object.

(sorry if these ideas have already been presented i haven't actualy read the other discussion threads about planets yet)
