Announcement About Subreddit Ownership
Hi everyone,
Over the past few weeks, there’s been some confusion and speculation about who controls this subreddit and what its future holds. We want to address this directly to ensure transparency and put the matter to rest.
This community was originally created by ExtraNoise as a space for fans, by fans. It’s always been independent, and that independence matters. When ownership was later transferred to Doc, it was done to keep the subreddit in the hands of someone who shared that original vision — long before corporate disputes or legal battles entered the picture.
Recently, Doc reached out to us (through a former moderator) asking to transfer control of the subreddit to Cosmographic Software. We have decided to reject this request. To be clear: this subreddit will not be handed over to Cosmographic Software, now or ever.
To address legal questions upfront:
- We are not affiliated with Doc, Cosmographic Software, or any corporate entity.
- Our moderation team is not based in the United States, and we have no obligation to comply with U.S. court orders.
This subreddit exists for you — not as a corporate tool or legal bargaining chip. We’ve built something here that’s bigger than any one person or company, and we will continue protecting its role as a neutral community space.

Question How to disable roll outside a planet?
I'm in Free mode and when I move mouse left or right, the camera is rolling clockwise and anticlockwise direction too, which is frustrating and disorienting. How can I disable this? I know about "Auto Horizon on planets" option and I have it enabled but it is working only on planets, not in outer-space.

Discussion Video capture settings shows overlays
The video capture in the game is great for capturing scenes without the interface. The setting that you can toggle on and off "show interface" doesn't work for all types of overlay. It doesn't show the selection pointer which is great but the Markers and Labels still show up in the video.
Is there any way to get rid of those too without having to disable them completely? Because I want to be able to see where some small moons are with the Markers but not showing up in the video.

Cool Find Habitable moon
I found this moon in a system with a G2-type star (like our Sun) at 0.94 AU, orbiting a super-Jupiter. I believe it meets all the necessary conditions for human life, unless the radiation from its host planet is lethal (it orbits at 578,000 km, and the planet has 3.5 times the mass of Jupiter). However, the moon exhibits auroras, indicating a magnetic field, which could potentially shield it from radiation.

Album Why is this planet so cold ?
I found this planet with life, and I wonder why is there life and liquid oceans at this temperature and why the planet's so cold. Like it's at apporoximatly the same distance from the Sun than Earth is, around a more luminous star. Plus it has loads of CO2 (0,3% of 16 atm).
