Fyron's Quadrant Mod Discussion Thread

I think you can have any physical type arranged like an asteroid belt. Just look at how the the asteroid belt system is created and just replaced it with storms, planets, etc.

Idealy I would like to have a Medium Dence Spiral Thread that did not have any excess.

You can't specify an exact number of systems, but you can play around with the Max systems in settings.txt and then use Large quadrants. Large just means a numebr close to the max listed in the settings file. So set that to 110 or something until you consistantly get maps that look like what you want.

That's a lot of storms. I wonder what such a system would be called...

[Gryphin]

Call it:
Stormy Skys?

[Fyron]

Stormy Skys... makes no sense, because ships go through space, not atmospheres.

[Gryphin]

I think of the sky, and the night sky in particular as starting someplace above the local trees and extending to infinty.
It never ocured to me that the sky was limited to atmosphere.

That makes sense from the perspective of a race confined to one planet. But from the perspective of a star-faring race, it is my opinion that "sky" wouldn't be used to refer to space. I could be wrong though, as I have never met a star-faring race.
