Very nice. I've kept a folder of Space Engine videos from near the beginning.

LiveLife42 is one of the early masters that have inspired me, but there are a lot of other great ones too.

 

Edit: In the comments somebody mentions Subnautica. I don't know if you can put it in quite the same category, but it's definitely pretty. Still unfinished though. It's just there for the sandbox, but if you're curious where the story is going it still needs more pieces.

What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine.

I'm guessing my copy of Space Engine would run a lot better if I had an SSD.

 

Here are some things that need to be checked out when Space Engine's version/imagery is updated:

 

Jupiter: has had its poles imaged by Juno's polar orbits.

Saturn: Cassini has taken the best ever images of small moons like Pan and Atlas. There's more imagery of Titan, which has been the focus of most Cassini orbits, and now Cassini is doing "death dives" between Saturn and its rings. I don't know how detailed the imagery of the rings can get since the particles are very small, but some of the science details discovered by these orbits could affect how the creator of Space Engine decides to render planetary rings.

Every distant solar system object and lots more: the James Webb Space Telescope is expected to collect imagery starting in early 2019. It will be better suited for imaging small Kuiper belt objects than Hubble.

2014 MU69: First target of the extended New Horizons mission. Flyby on January 1, 2019. Many times larger than 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko.

Moon: many late 2017 Lunar missions including Chang'e 5 and several Lunar XPRIZE private landers. In late 2018, Chang'e 4 will be the first lander on the far side of the moon.

Sun and Venus: Parker Solar Probe launches in July 2018.

Moon discovered around 2007 OR10.

Ceres: more recent imagery.

 

And in the further future:

 

Planet Nine, if found. Could be discovered in the next 2-3 years.

Psyche in 2026.

Jupiter trojans in 2027.

Pallas: no mission planned, may be seen in greater detail by JWST.

You're dead right there dem, he is definitely the master of SE. The guys who talked about Subnautica is a regular, he knows the sort of games I like, and thought

I'd like it. lol I did get it, and you're right it is early alpha but still interesting.

 

I love doing SE videos, but I need to put more time into them I think.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.
