Idea for a Mod

from Sins Forums
Do you guys sense that some things are missing from the spectrum of solar objects? I feel like there just isn't enough variety in what there is to find in a solar system.

What if some of those asteroids with metal/crystal that orbit every colonizable planet were 40%% of the time moons? We would need a skin for moons... That could be tricky.

What if there were oceanic planets? Could be uncolonizable or colonizable ( new research implemented? aquatic occupation research? ) Some could be blue, others green... would it be that hard? I honestly dont know, but it seams like a good idea to add it!

Or how about making it possible for binary star systems? There are many solar systems with more than just one star... Maybe a reskin of a gas giant?

All of these things I wish I could add myself, if I only knew how or where to begin! But since I don't, maybe some of you will agree with some of these ideas. I can't wait for the day I see a "Realistic Universe" or "SoaSE Realism" mod. Please please please someone add to the spectrum of solar objects!

I like the water planet idea, along with the moon idea. The planets look so dull without moons.

Yeah, the moon thing...It is possible to make binery stars but I don't think they can be in the same gravity well or something like that.

I think Binary stars could be done no problem if they gave us a Z axis in galaxyforge. The creators of Homeworld are masters of the Z axis. I want one for galaxyforge =(.

doesn't matter, Binary star systems are usually far apart, like up to a lightyear
