This thread is not for map requests, or outpost requests, etc. This thread is for requests regarding the cosmetic elements of maps. Everyone is free to make suggestions.
[Skyboxes]
I love this pink sky a lothttp://de.wallpapersus.com/wallpapers/2012/04/sonne-planeten-mars-natur-2048x2560.jpg Ominous red http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4133/5050279526_a9d92e46e2_z.jpg More night skies with EVE Online nebulae like this http://i1-games.softpedia-static.com/screenshots/EVE-Online-Eve-Fan-Fest-2011-New-Nebulae-Trailer_5.jpg Pretty green sky + araura borealis, Dust needs more green http://www.discovershareinspire.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Green-Northern-Lights-.jpg
[Plants]
Plants don't have to evolve to be green and use chlorophyll, they can evolve to be all sorts of colors depending on the intensity of the light received from the parent star, and what the atmosphere allows. Example: around a dim (in visible light spectrum) red dwarf star, the plants might appear to be black so they can absorb all the light emitted. With that out of the way, hopefully there won't be "plants have to be green, chlorophyll idiot" posts.
red grass and shrubs, look how gorgeous it is http://img545.imageshack.us/img545/2212/23398035.jpg black vegetation: would go well with dim suns
white vegetation: very very bright parent star
Whatever other color
[Terrain textures]
Red sand, look at this photo http://media.lonelyplanet.com/lpi/25905/25905-3/681x454.jpg White sand http://whyfiles.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/white_sands_dune.jpg Frozen tundra http://www.alaska-in-pictures.com/data/media/19/frozen-tundra_5591.jpg Black rock surface: could be from past vocanic activity http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rFmHfI7gbKI/TUlwauQZwWI/AAAAAAAAA64/FmC4vJrq4Z0/s640/Volcanic+rock.jpgCrystal formations on the ground: This could be especially beautiful on Manus Peak if the spikes are partially crystal http://assets.natgeotv.com/Shows/8918.jpg seriously, look at the size of the crystal formations on the photo.

I sent this off to the individuals responsible. They said they will respond by "action". So in other words, they are going to see if they can implement any of these. No timetable given, but clearly they like the ideas.  |

I would really love to see black crystals or rocks on white sandy terrain in Dust some day. |

These are good suggestions. Dust really feels drab with the art direction. I know there are talented artists at CCP (just look at how beautiful EVE is), and there is such rich material to work with (multiple moons, planets, rings, nebulae, etc) all from the existing universe. Maybe performance has handcuffed the options here, or it's simply been a low priority relative to all of the work that needs doing, but all of the reviews I've read online mentioned it and I have to agree that the planets feel dull, barren and lifeless (borderline post-apocalyptic). Also the terrain is still relatively flat. It would be really cool to have some extreme elevation changes on some maps with very deep canyons, caves, etc. Water would help too of course, but I realize that's a whole other kettle of fish. There's over 5k systems in New Eden and they all feel so similar in Dust.
I look forward to seeing what the artists have up their sleeves in the future.
I will add that since 1.2 I saw a sunset with a lighting effect that had rays of light beaming through a structure, and it looked amazing. Nice work there. |

I thought of an even cooler combination: black crystals or rocks on white sandy terrain AND purple plants. |

I like it all but would just add that I want proper grassy and snowy terrain, not just patches but full coverage and not just a dusty green colour shrubbery but vibrant grassy plains like you'd see in the English countryside.
Also, proper trees, not just little bushes. |

Why does every thing alway have to be ugly?
I want to fight somewhere beautiful every once in a while. Like these places:

Rather than just purple plants, I think various-colored coral plants wold look really nice. |

Not many people notice this or look up but on one of the night maps; theres a beautiful looking night sky of the stars and flowing Aurora BorealisGÇÖ. And a reminiscent looking Nebula/Galaxy which almost looks like GÇÿCloud RingGÇÖ but pulling colours from The Forge Nebula. IGÇÖm in total support on this one.
Everyone complains about low rez textures, IGÇÖm no expert but IGÇÖm sure it would be easy to have high rez background and ceiling images, which should make some of the haters happy. |

A thread about making the game more visually pleasant? I'm all for it!
The game already looks nice as is but if CCP is going for that big "AAA" then it needs to look amazing!
Thank you DUST bunnies for another nice thread. 
`Sigh. Just another fun game of DUST . |

The first time I got on this map I literally just stopped dead and looked up for a few minutes. Every time I get on it now I do the same, just look and admire it. |

The devs have spoken with action! Behold a screenshot from 1.4:

Now compare that to this sky I requested:

Pretty sure those are two different teams. Not sure how good pve would be if you put a group of artists in charge of it but if that's what you want.... |

You must have your settings for your TV not suitable for Dust. Most people don't have problems with visibility of information on dark maps; those who do should check out their settings on their TV: Color, contrast, brightness, white balance, and dynamic contrast if you have it. |
