Just an unsuccessful attempt of a not native English speaker to make a joke
What I meant is that little bear is aware that Random hits Ver 1.1 will be incompatible with oolite 1.71
and he will release 1.2 just after the release of oolite 1.71 (i hope)

By the way what is a brainfart???

Could somebody please upload the planetinfo.plist from the original version of System Redux so I can create a version that will run on Oolite 1.70 and 1.71

Thnx Captkev for the hard work. I was offline all weekend due to connection problems. So I couldn't respond earlier.

Do you still need the plist from the earlier system redux? I have version 1 still on my HD.

Greetings,

P.A. Groove

@pagroove, if you could upload it, that would be great.

EDIT: System Redux now works with 1.70 (but not perfectly) and 1.71

If you are going an alternative station are there also busy spacelanes too it? Otherwise you can always chose a silent route and the game would be too easy. I also think that not each systems should have multiple stations. It should be also random or based on a tech level.

I think he meant alternative rather than additional (stations that is).

I'm going to try to replace the main station with the user-defined one based on it's tech level.

e.g.
if (system.mainStation.techlevel < 5) system.mainStation.StationDesc('griff_coriolis');

I was thinking that you meant to add an alternative station if there are more than 2 planets (moons) in the system. Don't get me wrong because I like that idea. But not all systems should have multiple stations.

And I also asked myself if it's possible to have multiple space lanes. So one to the main station and a alternative route to the other station.

A lot of the AIs use a setCourseToStation (or something like this), which sets a course for the nearest station rather than the Main Station. So with more than one station in the system some NPCs do fly towards the extra one and dock there.

But isn't that how it is now (with the right OXPs)?

Is there a corresponding setCourseFrom/ToSun ?
That trip is a little dull ATM, seems a bit daft not to run into Woma Tankers (and their sad lost, weirdly dancing escorts).

@cmndr Mysenses:

Yes, but That isn't what I mean. That element should stay. I like it too. The more sort of stations the better.

I mean that if a system has multiple planets then there is always a chance of finding another Corolius station but that chance would be higher in high-tech systems. although I've read in Status Quo that around Lave alone there are 6 stations in orbit.
