Well, I guess I askred this question somewhere already, but can't quite remember.1.) You can create a system, delete all existing jump points. On the System display screen (F9) there is a tab for jump points. You can add, modify and delete jump points. You can also break the link between two jump points and have the point in the system go to another system. I have noticed that even if the jp is not explored I sometimes have to click the break link button before I can assign it to another system. If you have explored the system with the current default race then the system name will show up. If not then you will see the system number. Either will allow you to pick what systems you want to connect to. As far as modding them you will either want to start the game as a random start with a SM race, or remember to survey the system. There is a button to do this if you are in SM mode.
So, I was fiddling with the SM functions a little, creating Systems, Empires and so on, thought about a little RP stuff whenever I get bored with my current game.
So, I got a few questions, some of them I fear could require official input.
1. Is it possible to create or delete a system in a specific place? Like, build a system without Jumppoints and then create some in a system to link them together. So far I only managed to just create a system, but I can't modify them, nor can I see where they actually are.
2. Can races only breath Oxygen or Methane? I mean, when SM-Creating an Empire, I figured it would be nice to just set it to whatever gases are available.
3. Is there a way to make NPRs ignore a specific system altogether? To simulate a dangerous environment that obviously isn't existant in the game atm, like, a black hole.
4. Can there also be nebulas without stars in it, like, after a Supernova? I know thats recreateable by just deleting the friggin star, but is it technically possible, or will it lead to problems?
5.Is it possible to modify files to have stuff like a 200cm laser? Would make for a much more threatening 'bossfight'^^
Thanks in advance.
