Does the planets of our solar system appear anywhere?

I think a couple of year ago I asked this sort of question, I have search the posts, but I cant find anything?

So is there any mods etc for oolite that will let me 'fly to the moon and back?'

Thanks

As far as I know not.

I haven't seen any such oxp

Nope, you're SOL on that score. Old Sol is far and away from GalCop territory.

You could give system redux a whirl. No Solar system bodies there, but there is at least other planets and moons to have a look at.

IIRC the most you can see (with an oxp) is real asteroids being turned into models...and random moons with another.

There is a mod that allows you to play any tune whilst docking, so you could dock to the sound of Sinatra singing.

Is there? I know of hyperradio, but I don't think that changes the docking computer tune.

The short answer: No.

The longer answer: Earth (and our whole solar system, for that matter) are not a part of Oolite, as they were not a part of Elite. If you want a game that includes your home solar system, you'd have to play the games of the Frontier series instead (or change your homeplace to Lave, of course

).

Yupp. Hyperradio does not alter any sounds. That's why we have the Sound Sets. But none of them is changing Oolites Theme music or the Docking Tune. The only oxp, I know of, that ships a own Theme is pagrooves Famous Planets.

It is not so much that they're far away, as I understand it, but off limits to GalCop space citizens. At least thats my understanding of the integrated Elite/Frontier time line.

Earth isn't much more than 20 or 30 light years from lave, but we can't go there because the co-ordinates are not plugged into our Nav computers, because the Federation and GalCop had a falling out. Same for the planets of Empire space.

Both, actually. We can't go to neither Earth nor Achenar due to politics. But in case of Earth it is also a little off, north of map 1. So you can't go there, anyway.

No one wants to go to Earth anyway, tis a silly place.

In basic oolite, or elite the Sol system wouldnt make much sense, as there is only ever one star and one planet.

I know that now there are OXPs which add planets and moons, but I dont think you are likely to see a system like ours quite yet.

oh and everything else makes sense does it?

For a given value of "sense", yes!
