Default SE5- Storms and asteroids.

I was just highly surprised to see that the asteroids and storms actually move. The storms move about (in their sector of course) and the individual asteroids seem to rotate.

Yeah. They do that in the demo too. Nice touches.

Neat. Any chance there's possibilities to do Stargate'ish 'send asteroid towards that planet' maneuvers with a mod?

Well as I said they don't actually move from their sector. The storm is just milling about its area of coverage while the asteroids only show that the asteroids are moving in space. They are really small, I had to look really closely to decide if they actually move or if it just had twinkles to suggest it.

I'm thinking some smart person out there will figure out how to make the storms move around by using random events to destroy and create storms. Hopefully you could control the type of storm to make it the same; and the location, to make it move 1 sector at a time.

Is there a way to make the stars rotate, too?
Also, it would be nice if the planets rotated in the big sector view, too.
