Re: Star Fury Question, Ask Away
Is the Quadrant map the same each time you play? Is there a random quadrant map generator for mod makers, or do all the systems and planets need to be input by hand?

I'm thinking of Elite 2 here in which there are physical, 3-d buildings for spaceports and such on the surface of moons and planets.

Re: Star Fury Question, Ask Away
There are pictures for the facilities, yes, but they are not 3d, and you do not go to the planet's surface.

Re: Star Fury Question, Ask Away
The objects of maps are randomally placed (i.e. planets, etc), but the number of them and location of systems are set by the data files included in the campaign. At this time, there is no random galaxy generation.
Ship poly-counts are usually a few hundred, and a couple of starbases are just over a thousand.

Re: Star Fury Question, Ask Away
Woops, I had meant to say that the locations of systems and warp point connections were in the data files.

Re: Star Fury Question, Ask Away
kinda like the 'pizza world' theory? 'it's round, yet flat!'
i've been thinking about something. could you place more than one solar system in a sector? make a galaxy in one sector?
