Ice worlds have some fantastic color.
I also enjoy the rocky worlds with large mountain ranges. They are heck to traverse in the SRV (and I avoid it), but are fantastic to see looming on the horizon from smoother plains.
The new textures for planets in 2.1 are a great step forward, too.
I remember landing on an ice world in one of the nebulas I visited, the sky and ice were a vivid emerald green. One of the most fantastic views I have had in Elite.

Even better when you find a binary or moon orbiting a ringing gas giant, spectacular.

Very nice.
How are you liking the Orca? I found her a surprisingly fun multirole. Can't wait for passengers and the Beluga. Hope it comes with large hardpoints so I can run my own Q-ship!

The Orca is working well. I've got it fitted with a fuel scoop, as the 16 ton tank seems to drain quickly. Cargo performance is poor for a large pad ship, only 136 tons. But a really fun to fly ship, with great handling.
But the passenger role will likely see it perform better.
Lately, I've actually been thinking that while the Beluga is fantastic, I'm actually growing pretty interested to see the Dolphin. Looks to be a small pad ship, which I'd enjoy.

However, are Hostiles radar contacts still color differentiated properly on your HUD ? I'm trying to get a Green HUD which will still allow me to differentiate Hostile, friendly, neutral and jump wake comtacts on the radar. Not much luck thus far. The Matrix is somewhat limited in the sense that fooling with one color palette washes out a bunch of others.
