Please Allow Planet-Reorganization In Navigation Menu

[Psychosist]

One thing I liked about the old starchart was that the planets were organized in semi-real-life order, and had varying sizes to reflect a degree of scale. Mercury was always the innermost planet, and Pluto was far out in orbit with the moons. Saturn and Jupiter were the biggest planets, and the moons were always the smallest. Everything made more sense and was easier to navigate.

 

This new single-orbit selection actually makes everything more clustered as opposed to less. All planets are the same size, they display no name-tags if you aren't hovering, their colors aren't distinctive enough, and they are all in one orbit.

 

If you aren't going back to the original layout, at least display their name-tags and reorganize the planets via dragging.

 

Hope Pablo and Dorian read this.

Can you guys also resize them down to real-life scale?

I'd like to have moons orbiting their respective planets.

they are just visibly unappealing while they look like a pearl necklace made of snooker balls with planetlike textures painted on them, i like many preferred the "proper" solar system type setup.

 

if they are seriously going with this appearance they may as well go 1 further and remove the snooker balls and just have text boxes with the planet names in them.

I wonder what flavour all of those gobstoppers are...
