SOL system

would it be possible to put something like the solar system in the game
with a few planets and maybe some "jupiter" like (ST class J) planets into the game

yes you could do that, but you would have to mod the dlls to give the planets the correct names.

that's no problem... Creating the system itself is the most work

Yeah that would be alot of work indeed considering there are alot of planets in our system (not to mention the moons...

But i think you should make it only partial like the first few planets, mercury, venus, earth, mars nd jupiter and its moons.

But they wont look like the planets how we know them for that you must make new worlds ... hmm alot of work...

it will never look like home ... the scale in freelancer is just to much off the real thing ... you can only see the other plantes as little spots from earth, in freelancer you will have to place them so close to each other that it will look strange ...
still, i can imagine it being nice to have a sol system with all the familiar names, even if it would look totaly different ...

scale is not of any importance, neither is distance

what I could do is develop a formula for the modders that tells them how much far apart two celestials must be to be liflike

Just wondering, but why not make each planet its own sector?? Then all you would have to do is add a jump-gate that would take you to each different area.

Sounds a lot like Terminus to me, if anyone remembers that game.

Good Idea though, all the same.

maybe that's a bit too harsh... but you could divide the system in 2 parts, an inner and an outer part, divided by the asteroid belt....

I'm working on that one...
