Created a new mission with the following planet:

api.addPlanet( 0f, 0f , 700f, "terran", 700f);

Which resulted in this glitch; it appears periodically as the planet mesh rotates:

I'm guessing it gets worse as you make the planets even bigger?

[Alex]

Yeah... planets that size really aren't supported. If you really wanted to, you could mod the atmosphere layer offset to be bigger, but that would affect every instance of that planet type.

The texture starts looking a bit blurry at that size, too. All in all I'd suggest making it a bit smaller - that issue ought to go away when it's at about 400-500 radius.

That's too bad, cuz a planet that size is pretty bitchin

[Trylobot]

I did as Alex suggested and it looks great now. Thanks!

As an aside, perhaps some built-in scaling for this atmosphere layer would help modders out a bit, so that for larger radius planets the atmo layer is already something minimal but still free of the glitch.
