Wait, did Nimbus III get terraformed?

I was replaying the Nimbus missions today, and noticed something odd:

What's going on here? I'm pretty sure even Hassan the Undying couldn't afford to terraform the whole planet. :P

    Funny...I just went there to complete an accolade and thought the same thing. It's looking a bit green and watery from orbit...but the civilization was built in a desert area.

    Also, the planet is still deserty when viewed from sector space. So I'm guessing this is a bug.

    I noticed the same thing the other evening.

    Maybe the desert is the only part of the planet that isn't infected by that plague from Omega IV that turns you into a dehydrated pile of salts?
  • markhawkmanmarkhawkman Member Posts: 35,236 Arc User
    hmm... I was wondering why people lived there. :p Or maybe the vegetated parts have the kind of plants that try to eat you?

    Fixed on the branch I'm working in, but that'll take a while to get out to you guys. Though, from looking at the past revisions of the file, it's always looked this way. . .

    No it Was the Brown Dustball it was supposed to be at launch. (I have old Screenshots)

    At some point it got one Hell of a Rain storm though. ( I noticed it on my First Delta Recruit)

    Thanks for Fixing it tho.

    I can personally vouch for the planet being a dry desert planet at launch. This was the first time I noticed it looking Earthy. It also has the blue look during the missions, if that's significant.

    Thanks for the fix!

    There are some good quests on Nimbus III . Some of the best times I had back in the day leveling. Good times, good times.
  • nikeixnikeix Member Posts: 3,972 Arc User
    What you people aren't taking into account is that the sea water on Nimbus III is all heavily tainted with heavy metals, so the couple of square miles of rain-shadow desert we run around in is practically the only inhabitable spot on the entire planet.

    Those big blue patches will kill you dead.

    For reference, this is what the planet looked like in June 2013. I took the pic myself.

    I muted that thing years ago, now I have to see it chatting in a SS?

    How does one truly avoid that thing?

    Also OP, how do you play with such a cramped HUD?

    never mind
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    1. It's a hologram to entice real estate agents and capture them to work in the bar.
    2. T6 Connie not gonna happen.
    3. I run Nimbus III now.

    T6 Constitution will indeed happen, if the new Star Trek show features one or similar.

    nimbus three actually has more lighter colored flat plains, mountainous regions and some spots of deserts then what is seen in this picture it should be replaced with some stronger less washed out brown and orange colors.
    T6 Miranda Hero Ship FTW.
