It would be nice to have an interface whereby I could select a planet and it would display systems/planets within a certain range and I could click on the various routes between the various planets. For example, if you create a spherical grid you are forced to create square sectors so these sectors don't cleanly fit into the overall universe.ĥ) When I make routes between planets it is a bit cumbersome. You need to do alot of manual work when it shold be easy for the program to calculate orbits that don't crash into each other or crash into the planet.Ĥ) The ability to create sectors that don't have to be square. This comes into play even more if you are adding moons to a planet. As part of this, when you add a planet to a system manually it would be useful if the data for orbits and eccentricity were calculated automatically. There are a variety of planetary generators and forumulae available to improve upon the current generator. For example, Celestia has a link to StarGen which is far more realistic. Despite having an option to avoid duplication of systems it never works and always duplicates.ģ) Better planetary generator. The rest I have to fill in.ġ) I would like to see better graphics and the ability to display nebulae and other objects.Ģ) There are problems when importing csv files to add to a universe. So I get decent information on some (probably 50-75 out of 300). Some of the planetary systems are detailed, while there is nothing on others. I am working on the map for the Battletech game. Quick Generate is a good one, as is keep habitable.Īll in all, this is an awesome program. Maybe merge some of the Astro-script files into the main program. Can you add some way to create impact craters in Fractal Terrains? The ability to add something like this in a large map would look cool.ĥ. How hard would it be to allow three different colors based on the atmosphere? Also, I get some weird color combination's when generating maps for terrestrial planets with no atmosphere. I want some of my gas giants to have bands, but I get a blend of colors instead of bands. Also possibly adding a different type of color generation for gas giants indicating the bands. Allow me to specify the default settings for colors for non-populated planets. I have to manually change the directory when saving Sector files, but the browser opens up in the default location. I am running VISTA Home Edition and it doesn't allow files to be saved in the program directory.

Change the location of the default files. I don't know if this is my computer or not.Ģ. They show up in the program, but not in the HTML that is created. Right now I'm having a problem with maps not showing. Change the Sector Report Output so that it shows all the time.

There are just a few things I would be interested in.ġ.

Programs like astrosynthesis 3.0
