I always found the planet bombarded/damaged overlay to look odd, just a few photoshop-cloud filters over the planet.
So i made my own! Tried to make it resemble heavy impact craters and such instead. I had ideas about cracks, but i felt craters would be more "realistic" in terms of being bombarded from orbit with nukes and god knows what else [:)]
Enjoy!

Also included is a marginally (barely) smoother system influence "texture". The vanilla one is 29x29, this one is 100x100 although it seems to not make much difference. One more noticeable difference however is that it is perfectly centered while the vanilla one was horribly offcenter. The game engine still seems to have occasional problems centering stuff, but at least it is a bit better and not a fault of the texture itself anymore.
Enjoy 2x! [:)]

Ohooo, we needs to aquire this

Second that.

Whew weee... the Star Destroyers did a number on that planet...
Must have had Ewoks on it, and they did not know how to conquer the planet otherwise. [:D]

awesome work, thanks!

This really looks amazing baleur, thx!

Baleur, I'm sorry, but is there any chance that you might put this and your other wonderful creations in a single post/thread, if not in a single file?

Most likely will do just that, but I still have some further mod plans before I'll throw em all in 1 bucket

Looks great!

Looking forward to a big bucket...

Did some vanilla planet enhancements (ALL of them), thread to be found somewhere on the first page of this forum. Still have some more environmental plans, but a bit busy with studies this week

Baleur Awesome work! However, might I suggest a little more planet color in the craters, one point of reference that would be excellent is Jupiter after the comet strikes.
