Fantastic work.

I miss the famous planets entries for leesti and lave but otherwise this is great.

Hmm, OK, I just looked it up - there is no entry, neither on Lave nor on Leesti in the planetinfo.plist of the FP2.0 OXP - What did I miss here?

Maybe you could include the excellent rough guide stories by Disembodied in the fiction sections or make a remark that the planet is featured in the rough guide.

Yes, they will be included RSN.
I just included links in the Fiction section to the Rough Guide in general and the system in particular. If disembodies is OK with this, I'd love to move the Rough Guide articles into the Galaxy Guide to have everything under one roof (which was the original idea - I just wanted to provide a framework so fiction and OXP writers could refer to and build upon).

You're right. Sorry. I use the description in the Lave.OXP/ I recommend this.

I thought I had a description of Leesti but it's also indeed not in the plist. However for the Pagroovestations.oxp I wrote the following text on Leesti. You can place it in fiction if you like:

Touristic note: Oldest Dodo Station

The first prototype of the basic DODO station (GASEC model) went into orbit around Leesti in 3180. At that moment the Leesti Coriolis was wiped out by a the comet Hal 9001. Scientists luckily predicted this impact a few months before the event after a major asteroid storm in the region. The new Dodo model could withstand impacts for much longer but it remains unclear why the new station was placed exactly in the same risky spot, probably for budget reasons. The Dodo-station proved to be a success.

OK, description from Lave.OXP added to Lave and also a reference to "The Dark Wheel" given.

OK, included, reference to P.A. Groove Stations OXP added.

What about the FP2.0 Pictures and Maps?

Yours, Christian

On the pictures: I started with adding them.

2 more nitpicks from me

Tionisla OXP section deserves a mention (and maybe a picture) of the Tionisla Orbital Graveyard.

Tianve OXP section deserves a mention of the Tianve OXP by Drew. The Pulsar is in this OXP . (also picture maybe?)

UPDATE:

ALL Famous Planets pictures added. Including some art (see Laenin for example)

3180?? Forty years FROM now (Oolite time)?

I looked in the Selezen's time line. Do you have a better time?

EDIT: you're right Will correct it to 3138
EDIT2 Corrected on the P.A. Groove Station-pages and in the New Galaxy Guide to 3138. Also corrections to other sections of the P.A. Groove stations pages, namely the Ax tech trail. That is now happening in 3143.

Thank you Daddyhoggy.

Found an error. Ra is mentioned as a member of the iron stars while it is not.

Hmm - Ra is neither a member of the Iron Stars nor of the GalCenter G1.
But there is a Rabedira in the Iron Stars and a Razaar in the GalCenter G1. Looks like I have to fix something in the generator...

Thanks for mentioning it!

Yours, Christian

Thanks for mentioning them - they are now in the guide, too!

I processed "The Dark Wheel" yesterday, but there were only three systems in the guide mentioned, and I will work on Status Quo and Mutabilis this evening.

Any other OXPs worth mentioning? Maybe I should ask next door, in the OXP section

Yours, Christian

I wrote some fiction fragment on the Xexedi page. Now I'm gonna sleep.

Totally optional, but might be fun.
Add to the description of a Communist world,
'Used to be a corporate planet, but since the Revolution on year XXYY, it has become the People's Republic of <whatever>

Inines is near 3 Corporate worlds, so it is a likely candidate for this.

Sounds vaguely like Dubai...

if you have a wiki account then you can add it yourself or post the text you want to here in this thread.
