Mapping Sol

[DavidG]

Hehe nice Will I actually tried to figure this out too. Here's what I got (with my atmosphere differences in bold although yours may me right) (PS I think my atmosphere types are right but the sizes are just a guess)

Mercury- tiny rock/none
Venus - medium rock/ CO2
Earth- medium rock/oxygen (Earth-y picture)
Mars - medium rock/ none (red picture)
huge astroid field
Jupiter - huge gas/hydrogen
Saturn - large gas/hydrogen
Uranus - medium gas/methane
Neptune - medium gas/methane
Pluto - tiny ice/none

I thought Mars did have an atmosphere?

It does, but I guess he considers it too thin to be worthy of an atmosphere in the game. I'd say it's about 95% CO2, so I'd make it a CO2 rather than none!

Maybe for the asteroid belt, we can have many asteroid fields arranged in a circle between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Then we'll have a complete ring of asteroids around the sun, not just a single cluster.

Keep in mind that the Image Mod already has all of the planets in Sol in it (no moons though, just planets).

I think clusters would do... since if you went with rings, you'll have to make 3 rings. (The Asteroid Belt, The Kuiper Belt, the Oort Cloud).

The idea of this project is to make it vanilla, so it can be used with base SEIV maps. Sorry Fyron ^__^.

And how will we represent the Oort Cloud? And I say put a asteroid belt on Jupiter to represent its many moons.
