Mapping Sol

[Lord Kodos]

I was wondering, whats the most accurate map of the Solar System out there, as far as SEIV is concerned.

Maybe we should get together and make a map of the Solar System in SEIV? It would be a one-system map, to be used as a template for any Map-Makers who would want it.

Of course, this raises some problems.

Should earth be a CO2, or an O2 planet(Technically its mostly CO2, but we use the O2, at least I think its mostly CO2).

Should there be 8, 9, or 12 planets?

How many moons should be included? Would Phobos and Deimos be included, or would they be considered asteroids?

I would also suggest we leave the Warp-Points out. That would be for the Users to add themselves.

Umm, Earth has about 70% Nitrogen, 23% Oxygen, and only a small % Carbon Dioxide - but since N is not a big factor for advanced life on the planet, I'd say go with O2.

I'd go with 9 planets and only major moons. That means ours, the 5 big moons around Jupiter, and a couple around Saturn (Titan and Mimas come to mind), Triton for Neptune, perhaps Miranda for Uranus, and Cheron for Pluto.

Ill go with the flow, but I realy dont think we should include Pluto or Charon. Simply too small. The Moon is larger then them IIRC. And Varuna, Quaor, and Ceres are all just as large if not larger then Pluto as well, IIRC. See the article about Naming Contraversy someone posted here(sorry, dont remember who and I am too lazy to check at the moment! ^_^).

And who would make the map anyway? Im suggesting it, but Im realy not familiar enough with the Solar System, and I also lack the patiance for SEIVs map editor.

Of course, I realy like the idea, and if no one else does it, I will. I imagine ill even include it in LR mods extras.

the nitrogen is mostly a balancing agent so we don't have to much oxygen.

Where did you hear that?
