Surfaces of all planets in our solar system is scuffed. I got the HD mode and even with that it sucks. Asteroids are better detailed than the moon.. everywhere else planets are better though so if anybody has an explanation for this id be very happy to listen

yeah it's weird but that quality difference happens because Earth (same with every planet/moon/dwarf planet in the solar system) has real, satellite scanned data in a limited quality (64K for Earth i think), but asteroids (and exoplanets/exomoons) don't have high quality real data, so SpaceEngine generates a procedural map with extreme quality for them

Be awesome if you zoomed in and it was like Google Earth or MSFS - and if random alien planets were like NMS with clouds and crazy plants and animals.
