Extract from the website: "While on a planet’s surface, the view out into the rest of the universe is nearly endless! This means even from the surface of your own planet, you’ll be able to see moons and other planets in the distance. To ensure the game runs with a variety of graphics cards, we have implemented an algorithm of sub-resolution to be able to display a quantity of blocks a individual graphic cards can manage. " May you elaborate on that please?

Not every actual cards can display the billions of blocks we want to display. So we needed to create specific algorithms to reduce the number of blocks to display without "cutting" the viewing distance. This means that from every point in the system solar you will see every planets, allowing you to know where to go.
