Sol system

#1 Post by StepanMiletkir »

Hi there,

First of all, hats off to your amazing project.

Simple thing that may have been discussed here already but that a quick search didn't reveal: it would be a welcome feature to be able to start a human playthrough with Sol as a starting system (as an option). Pushing that further, it would be interesting - for role play and other reasons - to be able to start with a "Milky Way" replica, with a number of key recognizable star systems around Sol and across the galaxy.

Is any of this on the table for future releases?

I wonder what planet type you'd make Venus.

Depends what you mean - you can simply rename your home system. Modelling our solar system (eight planets and an asteroid belt) does not fit the game balance and more importantly UI.

On the other hand we would welcome the possibility to add "scenarios" or similar - one idea was to have a fixed tutorial galaxy, having our earth setting would be a good fit. This was discussed (somewhere) on the forums.
