Re: Mapping Sol
Keep in mind that the Image Mod already has all of the planets in Sol in it (no moons though, just planets).

I think clusters would do... since if you went with rings, you'll have to make 3 rings. (The Asteroid Belt, The Kuiper Belt, the Oort Cloud).

Re: Mapping Sol
The idea of this project is to make it vanilla, so it can be used with base SEIV maps. Sorry Fyron ^__^.
And how will we represent the Oort Cloud? And I say put a asteroid belt on Jupiter to represent its many moons.

Re: Mapping Sol
No asteroids around Jupiter. Just add the 4 big moons, the rest are too small!
Just one asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter is fine, you don't need to go crazy.
BTW, did SJ ever add my nice Sol planets?

Re: Mapping Sol
moons go around planets. therefore, phobes and deimos are moons, yeah? makes sense to me.
maybe astroidal moons.

Re: Mapping Sol
I am fairly certain that someone made a map of Sol a long time ago... try searching for it in the scenario section, or the old scenario archives (closed section) if it is not in there. It could be used as a starting point (less work to do that way  ).

That depends on who's Sol planets are in the Planet Pack. Best way to find out is to go download it and see.

I think Phobos and Deimos are way too small (~25x15km) to justify their inclusion as moons, and since their is only two of them - it hardly justifies them being represented as an asteroid field.
If you included them, then you'd have to include the dozens of little moons around the Gas Giants...which is a little overboard IMO. |
