the oort cloud is comets. in freelancer the systems aren't really to a real-life scale, (despite there being over 1,500,000 places you can put stuff in each system) for the Sol system you would have to slightly alter the orientation of all the features to fit them into one system (which is what it really is) or someone could have a go at editing the size of systems, so you could have the sol system as one huge mega system.

I'm not a smuggler, i just sell alien artefacts and cardamine to the poor and needy!

Well unfortunately I can't even get the Freelancer Explorer program to work, it keeps crashing after asking me if I want to continue editing an existing mod. Can someone help? I have the latest version of the program.

Going back to the commet or astroids that go around the system, could you make that like a ship that just moves on a preset route?

If I can get Freelancer explorer to work i can get started. Please, someone help?

Sol stands for "solar", and is generally used as the proper name of our solar system (hence the capital S). This stems more from sci-fi than science itself, since we don't currently need to define our sun as anything more than "THE Sun", or our planetary system as anything more than "THE Solar System".

I keep meaning to look into a nice, empty system template. I know where there is one, but I keep forgetting to download it. FLExplorer is good for setting up systems, but fine tuning really needs to be done by hand.

Size becomes less of an issue if you consider the cubic nature of space in the game. Put the system on an angle, and everything will fit. Also, system scale is defined by a coefficient, I believe. FLExplorer simply has a small list of coefficients programmed into it. The Sol Beta is larger than the maximum allowed by FLE, if memory servers me right.

Oh, and Mars as two moons. They're both the size of asteroids, and named after the pet birds (ravens?) of the god.

Deimos and Phobos, stange names for ravens

Eh, I still think Mars is a strange name for a god.
