Frozen snowflake icon is wrong

Snowflakes don't have pentagonal symmetry. They only have hexagonal symmetry, so this icon represents something that doesn't exist.

I'm aware this is extremely nitpicky but I figured it was better to at least post it instead of grumbling about it forever

If frozen entities would be covered by snow that would mean there is water on aquilo.

You mean besides the thing you're building on?

I tried looking up any images of ammonia-based snowflakes but the closest I could find was this picture of carbon dioxide ones:

But yeah, for clarity, my bug report is that the icon has 5 points when it should have 6 points for accuracy. 5-pointed snowflakes don't exist (at least that we know of)

[...] this icon represents something that doesn't exist.

The icon/symbol/alert for lightning also does not 100% represent how a lightning/electric dischage looks like

(Highway signs also do not 100% depict what they are informing/warning about. They are stylized, yet they convey their meaning just fine.)

Near as I can find, solid ammonia has tetrahedral symmetry. Also, there is water ice on Aquilo. The ocean when you pump it up and separate it is a solution of water ice in liquid ammonia.

You mean these highway signs that have the correct hexagonal symmetry? lol
