I'm starting to work on the next expansion, codenamed "Near Stars," so you'll hopefully be seeing more of these development blog posts.

Have you already decided which planets will appear in the Sol system?

Please let there be an ongoing civil war over whether or not Pluto is a planet.

(Actually, the least controversial way to handle it would probably involve a weapons test destroying it outright....)

It should be there. Even if it's not listed as a planet, it still have a unique name, and as it's not so far from our sun, we shouldn't exclude it.
Yes, look at my avatar, I have a wyvera type ship.

Compared to the largest systems the game builds Pluto is very far away. The outer planets may be cut off or on different maps and the Kuiper Belt can't really be done that way.

I didn't see the Lagrangian Points https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrangian_point on your diagram there, George. L4 and L5 are the perfect places to put large space stations. Please don't leave them out. You did so well making Starton Eridani look realistic, I'd love to see the same attention to detail put into the Earth-Moon system.

I love how the lower orbit is basically trash city, very realistic.

By the way, I'm even more excited about this addon than I am Part II.
