I started on Bangaio One, a forest planet with temperate climate, abundant flora and some fauna. In fact, one of the first things I saw as I turned around the survey the land was a pair of tyrannosaur-type creatures on a nearby hill. Luckily they didn't run over and attack.
There is little grass on Bangaio One, with the ground covered by short bushes and leaves. Parts of the ground are more barren, allowing you to glimpse the orange and red dust beneath. The air seems clear, although in the distance you feel there is a bit of a lack of visibility.
The relatively leafy ground made spotting some creatures tricky. The Bangaioan Jawbreaker was well-camoflaged and hid in the bushes; the Thundercatian Bangaioese Boar was more visible.
As night fell, the sky darkened to a deep green; the two dinosaurs had not moved from their positions. I crept near them to harvest some flowers.
After fitting up my ship, I went for a fly around the planet, watching the sun rise over a rocky outcrop. And then I pushed off into space, looking back to see my planet as I did so.
I have already been back a few times but I know one day soon I shall say goodbye for good ... unless they can add the functionality to revisit places you've been.
