Hi,Here is Alpha 7, which was going to be alpha 6.2 but with the addition of some nice features by Tom it has made it to alpha7 
*Planets now have Axial tilt.*Planetary descriptions now show the axial tilt.*Many planets, even habitable ones, now have some volcanoes.*Some planets will contain a super-volcano or two, like Mars.*Standard rock worlds have been reworked somewhat, terrain was modified as well as many new colours added.*Asteroid terrain and colour has been tinkered with slightly, there is more height variation but less jagged areas too and the colours should consist mainly of grey and brown with some variation occasionally.*Some atmospheres are much thicker, you will have to think twice about going to places like this in slow ships. Venus and Titan are examples of worlds with much thicker atmospheres, its more realistic this way although harder to see where you are going on those worlds.*Some planets have a new graphic in the system view for easier recognition.*Added adverts by Potsmoke66 and station retexture by Marcel.*Fix planet atmosphere alpha bug with shaders disabled.*Many other terrains have been tweaked to stop weird things from happening and some have a few added features.Alpha 7Its been hotfixed, please download it again if you haven't seen this message. Its also a full package now, you won't need alpha 6.*Fixed crazy coastlines on some habitable worlds, caused by the volcano function.Thanks go to Tom for creating a wonderful game and for letting all of us fans help out :)Enjoy.
