Destiny had so much potential to indirectly teach us about the nature of other celestial bodies. I saw someone mention 1 Venus day takes like ~290 Earth days. Wouldn't it be interesting if every 290th day the Ishtar region would enter night for however long night lasts.
It would be nice if the moon had ~1/6th of Earth's gravity (like it does irl), effectively allowing us to jump 6x higher. Crota's End would've been much more interesting with a 6x jump height. The jumping puzzles would've been way better than King's Fall.
And speaking of King's Fall, the dreadnaught is in Saturn's orbit. It's in space so why isn't the gravity much lower? It would have its own gravitational pull due to its size and it most likely has some artificial gravity for on-board efficiency but how is it exactly the same as Earth's?
I know Bungie did this because it's honestly loads easier if each planet had the same gravitational pull so jump height and run speed would be the same everywhere but there could've been so much potential. That's what Destiny is to me; wasted potential.

Also I hope it takes into account different atmospheres of planets. For instance Venus's massive acid rain clouds. While I'm not majoring in astronomy and don't have a strong background in it, I do have a strong knowledge of chemistry. I don't know the exact type of rain, but even if it's just Sulfuric acid rain, that will be more than enough to cause serious harm to skin and even disintegrate a majority of metals

It would be very interesting to avoid weather hazards on Venus. Find a cave during an "acid rain event". That would be nice. Much more realistic but at the same time much has changed in our solar system since the Traveller arrived. It's a bit of a difficult subject to find the balance between realism and "space magic"

Yes, a biomedical science major needs a video game to teach him about a branch of science he never studied. Not everyone devotes themselves to astronomy so lay off the insults. Would you prefer me to talk about prokaryote cell structure and insult you for your lack of knowledge?
