I noticed that With Galactic Almanac, Distant Stars and Compressed F7 Layout installed, the Almanac is repeating the star info on the F7 screen:

I think this is because, for Distant Stars, the code is not checking the state of missionVariables.random_station_names_compress on around line 4191. The same goes for the check on Sun Gear around line 4226.

Opps. That error must have been in since the first version!

I've added a if (!missionVariables.random_station_names_compress) ... check to all the additions. This works and it stops the duplication by the Almanac if Compressed F7 is installed.

With Strangers World installed though, testing with the latest version of Compressed F7, the word star seems to be missed out:

Eg: "The planet Geteve orbits the M1V Circumsto Utimus." rather than "The planet Geteve orbits the M1V star Circumsto Utimus."

The word "star" would seem to be superfluous.

Missing OXPs? What do you think is missing?

Based on what I can see, the former version is what Sun Gear will produce. When a spectrum text is used, there is no "star" between it and the star name.
