My Random Questions About Modding

[Corporal Jomn]

For a system, is it possible make ships "patrol" a planet. If so, how is that done?

I'll bump this when I have more questions.

[digdug]

planets are simply stations, so you can easily assign orders to ships to patrol planets.

[Corporal Jomn]

So something like this:

<Primary>
<Station type="&stBiospherePlanet;" name="Templum" showOrbit="true"/>
<Ships>
<Ship count="1" class="&scBellator;" orders="patrol" patrolDist="300"/>
<Escorts>
<Ship count="2" class="&scCustosII;" orders="escort"/>
</Escorts>
</Ships>
</Primary>

you're doing that in the system generation? I think that should be ok

How many light-seconds are in a light-minute?

[Atarlost]

The same number of seconds that are normally in a minute.

The same number of seconds that are normally in a minute.

You mean twenty-four? Or is that hours in a minute...

i don't know how to feel about this. 60 seconds to a minute, 60 minutes to an hour, like it's been since THE BEGINNING OF CIVILIZATION. sorry, just had to make that jab.

Ahh, that new civilization tomfoolery. When I was a lad you had to go it alone, taking down them Dochadreons or whatever they were ALONE with your BARE HANDS! If you didn't like the gravitational body you were on you had to mix up some explosives and use trigonometry to figure out where to stand where you wanted to go! Things were a lot harder back then mah boi, be glad you have these cities and other people and crap like that.

You guys done? Besides, I got it now:
368 days=1 year
60 seconds=1 minute
60 minutes=1 hour
24 hours=1 day
5 days=1 week
7 weeks=1 month
35 days=1 month
10 months + 3 festival weeks + 3 holiday days=1 year

Guess where I got that from.

[Psycholis]

there are no words to describe how i feel.

[Blitz]

368 days=1 year

Hmm... this is wrong isn't it? or I think I may have gotten off on the wrong planet...

maybe a bit too much Star Wars roleplaying ?

anyway I was thinking about making ships patrol the planet dinamically using new events like <OnPLayerEnteredSYstem> ?
Just sysfindobject the planet, spawn a few ships, give them the order to patrol around it.

[Corporal Jomn]

I don't roleplay, I jus took that off of Wookieepedia.
