Good job with Solar system !

I think Europe should be Ice, not Rock. According to latest data, Europe is covered by 19-km layer of ice.

Shadowstar, I noticed that if you delete a system using the map editor, and the system has anything in it, the contents of that system will go into ANOTHER system. Not sure if it is the system before or after the one deleted. This includes the warp point links! This can really mess up a map. I now delete all items in a system before I delete the system itself.

I didn't know that.

Thanks, Taz. I'll keep that in mind if I make any more maps. I can see how badly that could mess things up!

As for Europa (The Jovian moon), It was a tossup. When you're talking about moons (especially Jovian/Saturnian moons), you could say that they are all ice. The game difference is that you need completely different technology to settle one moon compared to another one almost identical to it, just cause it has a layer of ice.

As it is, there is a mix of moons when maybe they should have all been the same. But then again, most of the moons are so worthless resource-wise that you wouldn't want to put any colonies on them anyway, making the whole point moot.
