Let us blow up other planets, or at least moons

[Forever Alone]

I do not like being restricted to Earth with basically god powers. Allow us free reign over the outside space and at the end of the game allow us to shape our reality how we envision it

[BattleReadyPenguin]

Well we have mod support now.

[Jolt]

you arent restricted to earth once you get the power of speed of 3 trillion times the speed of light you can go to a (seemingly) endless universe of uncountable galaxies but you cant affect anything besides craters

Yea why cant a gigaton blast blow up planets/moons other than Earth? So stupid.

well probable because that's going to take FOREVER to make and also be super laggy if you cauld do that to every planet

[Jolt]

and megga buggy

[Vonias]

you could just make it so the fragments of the planet dissapear a minute or so after exploding, it wouldnt be realistic but at least it would be something and you could pretty much empty an entire solar system which would make you feel powerful. this whole game is pretty much a power fantasy so let us do that too.

[Jolt]

no im not even talking about debris, just the fact it has to get rid of an entire planet permedently will be super laggy and buggy

[Vonias]

depening on how it's coded yea that might be a serious issue... oh well. If enough corners were cut you could get it to work. I'd be happy with even the worst looking of planetary explosions, I don't even care if the panets respawn or the physical planet hitbox isn't ever removed, I just want to feel like Im able to blow up planets regardless of it's truth.

[Jolt]

yea same... maybe it could be just an animation but then put back the textures, that might work

[King Hobnob III]

Well the freeroam mod removes the caualtiy bar so when you destroy Earth it doesnt reset and Earth is permanantly gone and this causes no performance issues so I dont see how doing this to other, emptier planets would cause issues.

[Pac0master [P2:Abyss]]

Actually, when you destroy the Earth it will respawn when you get out of the solar system.
Same happens with craters when you go too far away they'll get back to the normal terrain

I see no reason why it would be laggy.
you don't even have to load the planets when you're far away

Why would erasing an object from a scene, even permanently, lag anything?
I'm pretty sure thats not how it works.

Pretty sure it would do the opposite unless tonnes of debris is scattered around the solar system, which would be epic too

i just blew up a planet
held the gigaton blast for 60 seconds

[Vonias]

I held one for like 2 minutes and it didnt even damage the planet I shot it at... :/
