- Added a "Start scenario" button in the start menu. It contains 5 different starting situations:
1) Earth collision with a small planet
2) Surface view of a gas giant moon
3) Mars view from Phobos
4) A planet with 3 suns
5) A body orbiting a massive black hole, at half light speed

- Upgraded the atmosphere system to a more performant one.
- You can now also add atmospheres to bodies from the textures menu (p.5) as well as from the surface of planet with the "add/change atmosphere" button
- You can then change the atmosphere characteristics using the add/change atmosphere button: alter the color, altitude (reach), density and add lightning strikes to it. I also plan to add aurora's later on.

- When adding a new body or changing the orbit of an existing body, you can now see the habitable ("goldilocks") temperature zone of each star. Red = too hot, green = earth like and blue = too cold
- Fixed a bug where planets would not be properly illuminated by a supernova explosion
- ads bug fix

- Black hole accretion disks will now give off some light, illuminating orbiting bodies. You can set the accretion disk brightness by selecting the black hole and pressing the texture button.
- Tip: when sending something in orbit around a black hole, it's best to lower the timescale as objects orbiting close to a black hole do so at enormous speeds. They might get flung out of orbit on a fast time scale.
- Fixed the Terraformed Mars and Terraformed Moon textures

- Added custom water. You can raise or lower the water level (works of course best with planets that have terrain data) and change the water's color and luminescence. To use it, first select a planet and then activate the custom water (from the textures menu p.5). You will then see a new "water" icon on the left which allows you to modify the water's properties.
- Changed the solid color background option from dark blue to black
