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.

[Fyron]

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.

Call your stormy system "Badlands"?

Hey Fyron, how about adding another quadrant type to the mod? One where the systems are all heavily interconnected. Lot's of warp points. Raise the warp points per system and lower the angle between warp points.

Your mod would also be a great place to have premade maps. You could include a maps folder with special maps made by you and others.

Geo, have you looked at 1.15 yet? It has a lot of Warp Point Heavy quadrants that already have 2x the # of WPs and 1/2 the angle between them.

The Badlands is a good name though, and pre-made maps are cool too.
