Re: Balanced System Mod - 2.0
There is one thing that I'm a little confused about regarding moons. I have noticed that occasionally a player will start with a moon in orbit around their homeworld. On one hand I don't think this is such a bad thing, but it might be an advantage for the player that gets one and noone else does. I can understand why it happens based on why the moons are placed in the mod. When it comes time to place the players homeworld, the game looks in the system for an available planet of the correct atmosphere and size and uses that if available before creating a new planet. If that planet has a moon then the players homeworld gets a moon. I've seen other mods that have this "feature" as well.
What I can't figure out thinking about it now is why this never occurs using the stock data files. What is it about the stock system types that prevents this? Has anyone figured this out?
