[2.1] Big Planets

[lambytea]

Hello! Regarding the current planet rendering (as of version 2.1.14), what if the planets were made to be bigger...?

Adjusting parallax and planet radius made them look a little more impressive and more like the cosmic bodies that they are. I've attached a few images showcasing a few examples:

I felt like the current planets looked too miniscule, especially Fulgora...

Here's a video showcasing the parallax adjustments:

Totally agree. Your modification looks really nice!

The current planet sizes feel quite small; they would look much more magnificent if they were scaled up to the size you used. I also think the rotation should be significantly slower.

I’m fully in favour of moving forward with the changes and adopting the look you’ve designed.
