side note weve all probably played star ruler its a more basic version of this game but with a 3d map.  This game is more complex and more stats based obviously still it shows where something could go with it

I played around with Universe Sandbox some years ago, it was quiet fun playing pool with planets! You have more patience than I do if you managed to create your own systems. Looks nice in any case!

Another vote for Imgur, it's a reliable site with no extra-hassle, no need to register or anything and they can handle batches as well.
kk, I'll try Imgur then.

I've been busy, my water pipes burst in the cold weather and flooded my bathroom among other things, but hopefully will get some time this weekend.

Sorry, haven't forgotten, I've just been kinda busy. Will get around screenshotting it and choosing a different upload site soon enough. Also another system which is p. cool (but apparently there's a rounding error for very-close moon orbits at long distances from the star when saving/loading, so a couple of my moons need to be reset every time I load to stop them crashing into the primary body).

If you can see the screenshots it means your domain is registered, either you created an imageshack account or by your ISP.  Considering I don't own my domain, my ISP does, and I am not interested in registering to a site that uses this smegty technique to increase their page visits and increase advertising revenue, I respectfully ask that you switch image servicers.

I am sure I am not the only person who has this problem.

I just finished up sirius... A binary system with 4 planets, one of which has 14 moons (and another with 4). I expected half to crash into the planet immediately and the other half to be ejected, but somehow... they're all stable.

Will post some screenshots up later. Will find somewhere that isn't imageshack.

Stop using imageshack, seriously.

All I can see of the screenshots is:


Plenty other services don't have that bullsmeg, like imgur.com

Wow, that planet is REALLY close to the star!

Oh god, I have no idea how to make stable more-than-binaries atm. A friend says they know though, so I'll ask. After I've gotten some practice in. >.>

hey awesome! 

Now get it so U-Sandbox pulls the files straight out of the MDB database and renders our space combat too!!

;)

Find some of those interesting binary and quaternary systems that people write about on the forum and plug those in there.  See if they're stable!

Some without the background so you can see the asteroids:

This will prehaps give a better sense of scale to the inner system:
