Is it possible to create a system editor with these features
If I knew anything about programming, I would love to build something like this.
A system editor that allows you to open, load, and save entire Sectors into FLMM format would be incredible.
And also, the ease of drag and drop objects.. something that works a little like Micorosft Visio would be incredibly cool. Connecting systems, drawing patrol paths, and so on. Of course it would need a feature to edit 3 dimensionally, and thats where a 3d window for the system could be implemented, to see where the objects are before running the game.
It would be even COOLER if someone could expand freelancer to allow for different sector maps, not just Sirius, but imagine creating many more.. and having the ability to travel to and from them by use of Hyper Gates.. or strange anomalies.
Speaking of anomalies.. we all know that black hole object that was used in TNG Mod. Where was this object originally? My guess is Tau 37. If you look at tau 37, youll see the skybox swirls downward, seemingly to a central point. I think that the original "black hole" that white spinning swirly thing may have been there but was taken out. It would make sense, because one can see this in the skybox of Omicron Alpha when looking at the tau 37 direction. Many have asked WHEREs the bLACK HOlE GUYSss??
Thats my answer.. it used to be in Tau 37 sitting at the bottom like a huge toilet bowl.
I WOULD LOVE to see someone make that.. to put this back into tau 37 (if it was there in the first place).. if it can look cool. Furthermore, the real blackhole that was in e3 is being made by someone I saw around here earlier.. putting that in the omega systems would be great.. and imagine then linking these two together.. or maybe not.
I personally would turn the tau 37 "black hole" into an inter dimensional hypergate into a really surreal sector with lots of amazing sights to behold.
but anyway.. im losing myself.
What do you think?
