This game is basically a galaxy simulator with a flight sim. Sometimes unexpected things happen.

so, what happens when it collides? is it a glitch fest like when two planets intersect like in no man’s sky?
Its a glitch fest. I tried to land my ship near where the planets were intersecting but passed right through the ground into the empty “center” of the planet. The other planet was still hurtling at me at full speed and I was helpless but to smack right into the it. I then got stuck rubberbanding between falling through the surface and the game trying to push me back out to correct the issue. Eventually I took enough damage from hitting the surface that my ship exploded. :D I just respawned at a nearby carrier and went back to get some screenshots.
Eventually the planets will just pass through each other and everything continues until normal.
Reddit is anti-nintendo? r/all has been full of posts about how great the new Zelda is since it came out
do planets destroy themselves whenever they collide? or do they just move right through one another?
