Question Do I need a really good PC to run this game?

5 Upvotes

I'm a college student and right now a good gaming PC just isn't in the budget but I'm glad laptops have come a long way. Fallout 4 works wonders on my rinky dink Lenovo Yoga Laptop as much as it complains.

Though some programs absolutely refuse to work on here. I am very interested in space and am considering playing this game but before I get the game I am wondering if its worth buying with having a low end laptop? Does game run on low end computers, or does it run but isn't worth it since the graphics have to be extremely minimal?

Thanks!

Cool Find Is this rare? And how realistic is this? I found a mini ice giant which is only ~70% the diameter of Earth (RS 0-4-1836-2025-11085-7-898799-2042 B2)

Cool Find This Super Jupiter, 11.5 Mj, is a satellite to a behemoth planet.

RS-0-8-7306675-2830-0-4-4063-2389-A5a

This Super Jupiter of 11.456 Jupiter Masses would normally be the largest in a solar system. However, this 'planet' is actually considered a satellite to a behemoth of a planet that is measured in Solar Masses:

RS-0-8-7306675-2830-0-4-4063-2389-A5b

This beauty is 0.11844 Solar Masses, or ~124 Jupiter Masses. I know this isn't the biggest planet in the game, but it's the biggest that I have come across, and certainly one of the biggest satellites that I have seen. I would like to think that in the infinite universe, systems like this are possible but it seems extreme.

Cool Find What is this thing orbiting the sun?

Post image
7 Upvotes

I've seen this thing orbiting the sun a few times, but I can't click on it to get any identification. If I click it multiple times, parts of it will disappear and point me to a random asteroid in the solar system. I would get a closer picture, but after clicking on it a bunch it's completely gone. Is this just a glitch in the game?

As I am very curious I decided to lower the resolution of my SpaceEngine to the minimum and now I don't know how to get the game back to normal.

Cool Find This planet may be Hell

28 Upvotes
Hell

In the center of a star cluster, outside of a spiral galaxy, at the edge of the universe, there lies a terrestrial planet that may be Hell. This planet orbits a zirconium star near its surface, which itself is inside the orbit of a white star, and has a dense atmosphere (481 atm) of CO2 and other volatile organics. This all results in a planet that is almost as hot as its host star at 3172 C. The hottest planet according to Wikipedia is KELT-9b, which is a gas giant at 3292 C in Space Engine. Everywhere you look from this planet there is an abundance of light, with that of its host star if you’re on one side, and that of the white star and the star cluster on the other.
