They look good but some of the colors are completely unrealistic, like that one with the red sky and white sun, the red atmosphere would change the suns color from white to, I would guess, pink. And the rocks as well should have a pink/red hue to them.

Our sun only is red or yellowish during sunset and sunrising <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> It has to do with the amount of degrees the atmosphere has on the lightbeams... (hope I stated this in correct english <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> )
Arround noon it is white due to the 90-ish degrees of the lightbeams on the atmospehere. and due to the lower amount of degrees during sunset or sunrise it changes color, because the color is broken up into its base colors depending on its degrees to the atmosphere seen from the planet (prisma effect, in the range white to dark-red)
<b>Conclusion:</b> If the atmospehere is red there will be a pink glow on the planet, but the sun/star itself would have the same properties of our sun as seen from earth due to it's extreme brightness...
Hmm translating the physics of light from Dutch to English is harder then I thought <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

That one you linked to Kouji looks pretty good, I agree. However, it doesn't neccesarily suit my taste (too white..).

EEK that statement is so wrong I just had to say something about it... I'm not going to talk about some of the skies posted here, but just about the fact that outposts on planets are NOT stupid and acctually do make sense...
Let's take an all water planet? Take earth for example, when heated up by global warming, this could very well happen somewhere in space due to some kind of gas escaping from the planets surface to heat the planet up and melt the poles. Or if the planet is just a little closer to it's star then Earth... Since water is one of the most important things for life in space a water planet would be ideal for a water clensing outpost. Ships which are in the vacinity can get fresh water. The Kharaa could be introduced by accident, an infested shipment or maybe impact by a small asteroid impact somewhere on the planet with bacterium on it which got into the clensing system of the outpost.
<b>Outpost on a planet examples:</b> Storage/resupply, mining, power generators, maintenance docks, a crashed ship, a station which fell out of orbit due to somekind of disaster or even a new human settlement (colonies) and maybe even more... I mean they could very well be overun by the bacterium which infested these outposts (shipments, ships etc...) Furthermore it's much cheaper to build a base/outpost on a somewhat hostile but habitable planet then to build space stations all over the place. Oh well personally I like maps in space more, but don't say base on a planet is stupid or it makes no sense... Since it actually makes more sense to build a base on a planet (especially for a resource collecting purpose) And it is the mappers free choice to create a planet map, but it has to have a plausible backstory.
