Re: Comets
 

I simply assumed he was referring to the influence of planets & whatnot
but the effect is small, and the actual orbit is beside the point, the period is long, or else.
or else what?
exactly.

Actually, I did.
I got distracted by replying to GT, and went straight back to the main page after that...
Sorry.

Re: Comets
 

Asking for planets actually moving around their orbits and being in different coordinates every turn woud be too much?
Comets would just move faster and in a more eliptical orbit exiting and re-entering the system area.

LOL!!! Sure I did see you! Didn't you see me? I was building a wall around my part of the swamp. I would think, of all people, you would recognize a wall when you see one. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

They also aren't in the demo.. none of the new system types are. I checked the data files http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
