In between projects, I like to play around with the apps and macros I have
collected over the years, and have mostly forgotten about. This time, I
rediscovered that nice little app PlanetGenesis
http://planetgenesis.sourceforge.net/ which I had not really put to the
test before.
I then terraformed one of the created planets, added an atmosphere
originally by Tek and voilà. Not perfection but nice enough for a couple of
hours work.

I had been thinking along these lines...
For clouds I used an image of the Earth's cloudscape. Looks more natural,
but... not entirely satisfying .
The spaceship is a mesh I have been building on and off in Silo2 over the
last several years.

I like it. If you could use a macro to create a new earth, global warming
shouldn't be a problem anymore....
My first impression was that the sea was a bit metalic though, but that can be
just me (once you see something it's hard to see it different afterwards...)

I don't know. The finish only contains diffuse, specular, and roughness. I
suppose it is the color.

That is one of POV's prerogatives; but names always come out of the blue,
imposing themselves.

Oh yes! Although they will have some hard bones to crack ;-)
It is humanoids against all the scum of the universe (cf the Lensman Series)

I shall never understand all the excitement about discovering exoplanets...
;-)
The Galactic Archives at Trantor contain the information about all the
(habitable) planets in the galaxy. This is for instance Kartoffel.
(no, I shall not bring here the entire content of the archives...)

But I thought the Encyclopaedia Galactica was off line currently. ;-)
Is the atmosphere not too thick?

It was, during a short period of time of climate manipulation, like Jime
suggests. And just when the probe was taken...

Sweet. The graininess of the land mass is a bit distracting, but I don't
know whether that's just do to the image being rescaled or what.

It is the texture. It doesn't bother me too much, but I can do something
about it :-)
