Code: Select all

A rock hermit somewhere inside the system assumes the role of main station in this case

Thanks, I didn't think about it. That's why I still had station in the system.
A small while and everything is fine :
while (system.mainStation) { system.mainStation.remove(); }

Hello all
Long time lurker, I want to create a mod in order to change the galaxy a bit like Elite Dangerous: where not every systems are colonized and have station.
I have tried to set an empty station in planetinfo.plist but the engine fall back to built-in Coriolis station.
I have tried to remove the station after exiting witchspace but the engine respawn it automatically.
I have seen in previous thread that the engine could generate stationless system ("Could not create built-in Coriolis station! Generating a stationless system."), but how to to it on purpose ?
Thanks

I managed to build myself something but it's quite special:
- I researched all systems of galaxy 1 in Elite Dangerous,
- I "deleted" stations from all uninhabited systems in ED
- I renamed all unknown systems in ED to make them uninhabited systems
- I added a script that returns the name of the main planet of a known system in ED
- This same script also returns the name of the main station of these systems as known in ED
All of this, incorporated into my Cobra MkIII cockpit OXP makes me feel like I'm a little more into ED, but it leaves 80% of the galaxy uninhabited.
I had, therefore, to add a special fuel system to allow me to cross vast uninhabited spaces.

You should know that my main objective is to limit my energy consumption with big games requiring a big PC.
But let's be honest, ED is still installed on my laptop (I sold my gaming PC) which manages to run it without too much trouble despite everything.

So this is all more of a personal project than a publishable OXP (especially since I use a lot of material straight from ED, so not really allowed to publish )

I also started working on a small script, a Discovery Scanner, which, once equipped and used, adds waypoints to existing location.
I would have to add at this time also "unknowed signal source" with events like ED does: pirates, wrecks, containers, etc.
