map editor - double system

This is the link to the example map I did.

The issue of double systems is redundant now with 1.91. It will not allow overlapping systems. I'm not sure about other patchs though.

yes, you would have to use the planets to find the underlying systems.

With 1.91, what I've done is simply placed the systems side-by-side. It's not as surprising to find out that you are not in an ordinary nebula, but it does have a realisic effect in that you can see just how large a nebula might be.

1.91 seems to be accepting double systems now that I check it....

But can you enter them? When I tried, and Geo too, it gave an error code that froze up the whole game. The game worked fine until a ship tries to warp into any of the overlapping systems.

If this doesn't happen for you, perhaps we can figure out how to get this to work!

EDIT: Now I see, it works if you have the ancient trait and knows all the systems, but if i'ts an unknown system the game will crash.

It also works if you get the starcharts of the double (or triple) systems from someone who has the ancient trait, before you enter the wormhole.

This is good to know. Thanks!!
