Oolite Bulletins

I haven't tried working out if Oolite's planetary orbits are randomly oriented in space, or if they adhere (more or less) to a "fundamental plane" - which in the Solar system is the plane of Jupiter's orbit. Earth's orbit is 3° off that plane, and all of the planets are within 10° of it - except poor banished Pluto out at 17°. More highly inclined orbits are more common in small bodies (asteroids, asteroid families, Rock Hermits, giving the Trader looking for cheap PGEs, olivine (gems) and under-the-counter weapons a reason to stray from the main space "(p)lanes".

Bi-lobe bodies raise the interesting concept of two Rock Hermits in one body, both resenting being forced to share a spin axis. That could make for some really tricky docking ...

Many moons ago Eric (IIRC) shared some ideas about planet-scraping moons, which I thought was a cool idea. But a model of a dumbbell-shaped asteroid with two docks would be cool, too.

Страницей ранее я писал, предлагал подружить дополнение "More Moolah" из которого хотел взять отдельные расширенные описания для каждого товара, которые показывает по F8-F8 и дополнение "SW Economy". Как говорится, хочешь сделать - сделай сам. В общем я взял "SW Economy" и описания из "More Moolah". Объединил. Вроде работает.

Месяц был занят, ездили отдыхать, потом дела были. Сейчас уже снова переводом занимаюсь)
Закончил перевод названий рас и описаний всех восьми галактик. Недели три заняло. Закинул в русификатор.
Сейчас есть вопрос, буду думать как решить. В русификаторе имена генерируются на английском. А кусочки текста для генерации на русском. Получается с основы генерирует. Закину сюда может посмотрите когда свободное время будет в чём причина?

	// *** Planet names and other random names ***
	// this string must always be the same length (98 characters). Digrams (pairs of letters) are selected from it to build names.
	digrams = "ABOUSEITILETSTONLONUTHNOALLEXEGEZACEBISOUSESARMAINDIREA’ERATENBERALAVETIEDORQUANTEISRION";
	// If the second character of a digram is equal to this single-character string, it is dropped when generating planet names (but kept for other random names).
	digrams-apostrophe = "’";
	// this string represents the 4 character phonemes associated with each digram.
	phonograms = "AEb=UW==sEH=IHt=IHl=EHt=st==AAn=lOW=nUW=T===nOW=AEl=lEY=hEY=JEH=zEY=sEH=bIY=sOW=UHs=EHz=AEr=mAE=IHn=dIY=rEY=EH==UXr=AEt=EHn=bEH=rAX=lAX=vEH=tIY=EHd=AAr=kw==AXn=tEY=IHz=rIY=AAn=";
	// this string similarly, but for espeak. (Note also Apple 'AA' is changed, else 'or' would sound like 'ar'.)
	espkphonos = "ab=='u:=sE==It==Il==Et==st==0n==l'oUn'u:T===n'oUal==l'eIh'eIdZ'Ez'eIs'E=b'i:s'oU'Us='Ez='ar=m'a='In=d'i:r'eI'E=='Vr='at='En=b'E=ra2=la2=v'E=t'i:'Ed=0r==kw==a2n=t'eI'Iz=r'i:0n==";
