[Kopernicus] Poodmund commented on issue #214: I agree with Sigma's sentiments above entirely. In my reference case, the secondary star was/is pretty much never the better star to orient the panels to as it gives almost nil EC even when they have 1.00 exposure to that star.... https://git.io/v5ipg

thomas is it possible to change the thickness of the orbit curve?
<GregroxMun>
So you can binary the sun? I thought you couldn't do that with SB.
<Sigma88>
you can't :D
<Sigma88>
well, you can't with the center of the galaxy
<Sigma88>
you can with other stars
<GregroxMun>
why not implement a switcher to binary the "stockSun" with "anotherStar" with the barycenter being the Sun.
<Sigma88>
I could do that
<Sigma88>
but it's a pain to code
<GregroxMun>
can you do it for USS if we decide to implement the second type of system?
<Sigma88>
sure it is easy to do manually
<GregroxMun>
that btw is something you can do for USS if not any planets
<GregroxMun>
you can set the binary orbits of all the planets, without requiring SB (if you're ok with that and want to do it)
<Sigma88>
so you're not going to use the kerbinized stuff
<Sigma88>
?
<GregroxMun>
what do you mean?
<GregroxMun>
oh yeah
<GregroxMun>
no
<Sigma88>

<GregroxMun>
sorry
<GregroxMun>
but I don't want to repeat any terrains.

I figure if I do another USS, it would be the 24-planet system with only habitable binaries instead of gas giants, and I'd populate it with planets from other planet mods.
<GregroxMun>
that would require some Galactic Neighborhood-like technology in more ways than one
<Sigma88>
not really, mot of GN tech is to make the custom stars
<Sigma88>
the planet movements is pretty basic
<GregroxMun>
I was talking about how to populate a system with incomplete planet packs
<GregroxMun>
so if you download 5 of 10 planet packs, for instance, some planets may try to orbit nothing, some may have no moons
<GregroxMun>
ideally you would have as many binary pairs as possible populating the system with the number of mods installed
<Sigma88>
ah yes
<Sigma88>
that sounds like the GNSPS
<Sigma88>
GN star positioning system
<GregroxMun>
yes that
<GregroxMun>
i wonder if I could use the E.V.E. city lights functionality to do glowing volcanoes on terrain instead of just glowing oceans.
