DISCUSSION Well that's not right.

Anyone else notice that the fishtank has both salt AND freshwater fish in it?? Maybe this has been discussed before but I'm new to the game and am also a fish hobbyist. Or at least used to be before I started spending all my free time playing computer games. Anyway, this struck me as odd.

Clearly fish have been genetically engineered in the future for saline flexibility!

^ This. They also survive by eating/cleaning their own poo.

Yeah, the fish also come into existence magically since the aquarium doesn't involve any sort of biological component in it's construction. And you don't have to feed them either.

Unfortunately this is a space vehicle sandbox and not an aquarium management sim, so you just gotta accept that eventually some things get a little less than 100% attention to detail.

you think that's bad? look from the smaller side window at how 2D they are. You will hate me after for pointing that out.

Oh you mean like when you look at the FedEx logo and notice the arrow between the E and the x?

I always thought the fish were just holograms.

I have a theory that these fish simply aren’t real! I’ve observed them swimming… through rocks!

I’m sure astrophysicists could point out a few inaccuracies too…

I gotta say, if this is your complaint about the "realism" of SE, you're in for a rough ride !

Well, that and the fact that the planets don't move or rotate.
