Stop asking for Jupiter/Saturn/Uranus/Neptune

Those planets would not make any sense to be included - they are gas planets, there is most likely nothing to land on (and if there was, you wouldn't be able to see anything anyways and there is absolutely nothing able to live or withstand their atmosphere). Best theories right now point to a (relatively to the overall diameter) very small MOLTEN core. Not a solid chunk of rock. Atmospheric wind speeds upwards of 1000km/hour. Mars, the Moon and Venus all make sense scientifically (Venus could theoretically be turned into a much more hospitable planet than it is currently, and Mars once had an atmosphere which allowed liquid water on its surface, and the Moon has no atmosphere at all so as long as you are protected from the solar radiation and have an oxygen supply, you're fine). The Jovian planets do not make sense at all. Getting some of their moons, though... That would be epic. Imagine standing on Titan and getting a 'Saturn Rise?' Amazing.

    I understand all of that, and a part of me is thinking maybe they shouldn't mess with the Jovian gas giants, just because of the fact that scientifically, most of us are at this day and age unable to believe planets like these could ever be livable for organisms such as us. We can't fathom how even the smallest oceans or masses of land could begin to exist on a gas giant, at least one such as Jupiter, because that would simply offset the gravitational pull of the entire world with the extra, growing weight of land and water. Wouldn't that realllly eff up our solar system once it started veering in a direction, provided, in time, it started heading for any planets, moons, or shit.. our sun.. The other part of me is listening to what I know - this is a game, and it has a fictional story. Science-fiction, at least. But the realization is that magic exists in the Destiny universe, multiverse, or whatever. SPACE MAGIC! I think it's pretty dope. I also understand how it can piss off those who just don't want gas giants to be a thing. Let it happen, and let Bungie explain their thoughts about it, if they ever take the time to do such a thing. I would love it if that happened, whether they make them explorable in the game, or reveal more about them in the lore, and I know many others would too. I haven't checked my knowledge, but I'm pretty certain the Nine came from, or are at least positioned on or around the Jovian worlds. We have been told that Xur comes from the Jovians, and that he is a merchant of, and is an emissary to the Nine themselves. Most recently, we've gotten another emissary, but she also seems even more mysterious, in an odd - and awesome - way. And of course the theory, strengthened by the convenience of the Trials of the Nine, that explains my new favorite Crucible map is set on a Jovian world. Unless we already know that. Seriously though, I wanna see Xur become a major part of the story, he seems cool as shit. This is evidence of the fact that the Jovians, or at least some of them, became hospitable sometime post Traveler entry into Earth's atmosphere, where it discovered us. The Light reached out and touched every, if not most of the planets in and close to our solar system. It created new life, gave humanity, and nature as a whole, newfound strength, and they gave it magical freaking properties because even its creators can't fully explain what it is.

  • Whenever I see posts like this I wonder if the poster knows the difference between what is reality an a game cause this is all made up if bungee wanted to make the jovian planets suitable they can if they wanted to give us a giant Bird to fly on in space they can or if they wanted us to flap our guardians arms to fly around its possible cause it's not real no one's making magic flaming hammers or nova bombs an making a magical flaming revolver with 3 shots that disintegrates the person that was shot so there's no need to really write we can't cause it's all off bunnies imagination [spoiler]there's no hive on the moon fallen haven't killed us off no flying fat turtle things on mars an no time traveling toasters on Venus so just enjoy what they made whether or not it's based on reality cause no powers[/spoiler] [spoiler]SPACE MAGIC[/spoiler]

  • This guy has the most basic knowledge of astronomy and is trying to pretend like he's got the slightest clue as to the atmosphere of other planets and moons. What happens when you take into account differentials in gravitational pulls? What about the complete lack of any oxygen what so ever on any other planet but earth? This is a science fiction game. Xur comes from the gas giants BTW. The nine live on the gas giants. You should know something before you talk about something. Lol

    • Dude. It's a science fiction game. In case you haven't noticed or forgot, we were all originally dead for God knows how long. And then brought back to life. We fight aliens that look like general grievous, cyborg machines, what is equivalent to undead, and turtles. Anything is possible.

        Its a video game. Anything is possible. People like you are the reason games are less innovative no offense, not everything needs to be politically correct, venus could never look anything like that. So just let them come up with their reasons to make shit work because it's a game dude, not a NASA simulator.

          • Actually the agent of the nine people like xur are formally humans that transformed into what they are now for living on the jovian planets aka gas giants so its possible we will go there

          • Well seeing as how the traveler has the god like potential to terraform planets into completely different and very habitable places, is it not possible that it could mold the gas giants into more livable areas.

          • To be fair, Neptune and Uranus are technically classified as "Ice Giants" so yeah, you could walk on them, maybe. Also, why the hell not. Maybe Neptune/Uranus (one of the two because there practically the same) could be like that one star wars movie where Obi wan had to go to inspect the planet they were making the clones. They could have like these platforms with ruined buildings sinking into the gigantic ocean, Also the whole damn setting of Destiny is based off the "Travelers Grace" and how we can go onto Venus without dying instantly from the methane air, so don't go saying that "oh that's not possible" or "it's just not realistic", it's a video game.

              They have moons that were supposedly discussed prior to release. Xur hails from one of those moons or a colony established within the atmospheres of the planets you mention. Further more there are cards for Jupiter and Saturn. Mercury itself is referred to as being terra formed and even has map in game. I image this whole location was cut intentionally as you can read in interviews and PR post launch that Bungie dodges questions relating to Mercury, sometimes even the other worlds. We also have the Reef which serves as a go between for the inner and outer worlds. The reef itself should have been included as a hub world and jumping off point for the outer worlds. We ask for these locations as the lore ties into them and they look to have deep stories(again in the lore we know of).
