Huh. It may be that C# works differently than I expected, but the docs don’t indicate that the OrderBy method modifies the underlying list.

It's not the OrderBy, it is the Except that precedes it.

The documentation for Except doesn’t say that it modifies the list either. It is my understanding that none of the Enumerable methods modify the underlying data.

How can I calculate Aphelion and Perihelion from the values in FCT_SystemBody?

I think I copied the code after fixing it.

Ah, that explains it. Fair enough.

I need a temporary list because I don't want to modify the KnownSystems list.

Yes, you are correct.

Here is the relevant code:
 

Code: [Select]

…
PossibleSystems = KnownSystems.Values.Except(CurrentSystems).OrderBy(x => Math.Pow(x.X - StartSystem.RealSystem.X, 2.0) + Math.Pow(x.Y - StartSystem.RealSystem.Y, 2.0) + Math.Pow(x.Z - StartSystem.RealSystem.Z, 2.0)).ToList();
…

The + should be -, as you stated above. Its been like this since C# launched and you are the first person to figure it out

I think correcting it is better than leaving as is, as it will be easier to understand what is happening.

Am I missing something? That looks like the right distance formula to me, with minus signs in the correct place.

As an aside, are you sure that you need to call ToList() there? OrderBy returns an IOrderedEnumerable, which you can directly enumerate over with a foreach loop. Calling ToList() will allocate a new List and copy the (sorted) elements into it. Then after the loop the List will be thrown away. Seems like wasted effort, but I have only a passing acquaintance with C# and could be wrong.

Reading Steve's note, I'm not sure if this is a drawback or a bonus to have a small hydro extent? It seems to contribute to CC but so it's a problem?

Yes. The CC penalty is 2 at 0% at 0 at 20%.

Is it the fleet commander's logistic used, or does each ship have its own schedule and speed based on the logistics of its captain?

I recall fleet members being un/loaded in series so every bonus for every ship helps. An unfortunate reality which sacrifices efficiency for reduced micromanagement. It would make me very happy to be proven wrong on this point so please do if able.

What would an EXO on an orbital miner or jumpgate constructor do? It seems to do nothing so far for me, so perhaps I'm missing something!

Nothing as far as I know. With all surveyors being military vessels in C+ I don't think any of the extra control spaces will meaningfully contribute to commercial vessels. Perhaps commercial vessels that find themselves in combat situations such as [drop] troop transports could benefit from the training bonus of the Auxiliary Control or the engineering bonus of the Main Engineering but overall it doesn't seem worth it.

I have two NPRs warring with each other; they may have originally shared a homeworld (or at least a home system) and are entirely on top of one another as a result. This in itself is not a problem, as the initial combat interrupts signified destruction of interrupt sources. However, as this has now been going on for months I've done some digging in the database to determine the source. I've tracked it down to one NPR sitting at a jump point flipping their sensors on and off every 15-30 minutes while the other NPR's homeworld detects those sensors with deep space tracking stations and generates interrupts. Combat has not occurred in more than a month according to FCT_GameLog; only hostile contact updates remain when cross-referenced with interrupt sources in DIM_EventType.

I have tried normal, none, and automatic detection settings with no change in interrupts and I do not have a jump path to the system for my military to "force" the NPR to stop toggling their sensors constantly like an idiot. Is there an easy way I'm missing to halt these interrupts without editing the database? If not, what would be the least invasive way to halt the interrupts?

Random question of the day. I've captured my first ever ship through boarding action. I now have the remnants of 8 different marine companies on board but no way to get them off the ship as there aren't any troop bays on the ship. How do I get my marines off so I can give them a victory march?
