Looking for some good (realistic) systems...

CaptSpoogy · #1 October 16th, 2001, 06:17 AM

Is there any mod or file that of systemtypes.txt that include more realistic solar systems? Mostly rock planets in the centre and gas planets outwards? Additional plain solar systems? Extra moons?

I recal someone did that.. they placed rock in the center, gas on the mid-outer rings, and ice at the edges. I seem to also remember rings of asteroid belts through some of the systems, but I could have imagined that because its something I did with my old progenitor quadrant.

In my true usless fashion, i do not remember who made the system type mod. it would not be hard to recreate tho, if you wanted to spend 30 minutes on it.

A quick check of the Mod/Scenario forum turns up God Emperor's Systems and Quadrants Mod as the most likely suspect. There's also Geoschmo's Space: 1999 and Voyager scenarios.

Then again, our solar system is not the absolute autority on starsystem structure.
We've found lots of Huge, gas giant worlds in tight orbits (cause they're easiest to find).

Also, in SE4, you could crush an asteroid belt into a minimum of 15 or so tiny planets. Our asteroid belt contains less mass than Earth's moon.

The Large and Huge worlds could probably stand to have a lot more moons, some with atmospheres.

I'd like to see a new class of "micro" worlds, maybe one facility for vaccuum breathers, none otherwise, and enough cargo space for a weapon platform or two. Tried to do this one myself, but had a lot of problems with random "null" worlds showing up

Thanks. I'll see if I can find it. I just want a bunch of similiar sol-like systems with 5-10 planets max with moons around most of the bigger guys - but also a good mix of habitable systems - not just 3 standard systems, but maybe 10 or so...I just don't lots of time to make them...

Hey Cpt Spoog, long time no see.

Hey could you update your site and include the new link to my site. Thanks.
