 The idea is to make a new type of sector which is a storm, but has an asteroids picture.  It should always have cloaking.  Copy & edit an entry from sectortypes.txt
 Then in systemtypes, call for some of those new storms, with random locations, but also add a normal asteroid field with "same as X" for its location, where X is the storm.
 Copy & edit the existing entries here as well.

				 Re: Need help with moding Space Empries 4 Deluxe 
 Why would you go to all that trouble when you can just add the sight obscuration ability to asteroids in StellarAbilityTypes.txt? |

 Well, it was claimed that he couldn't see the asteroids after that.

 This is a lie:
 The Sight Obscuration placed on Asteroid objects will not hide them from view, just what is in the sector. It functions identically to usage on Storm objects.

				 Re: Need help with moding Space Empries 4 Deluxe 
 Really???  I actually tried doing that, putting "Sight Obscuration" on Astroids, but whenever I start a new game, the Astroids don't appear.  If that is an easier way to do it, then I would definitly try that, but every time I add that ability to Astroids, they don't appear when a new game is generated.

 Whoops... it works in SE5, and I thought I remembered it working fine in SE4 too. Apparently it doesn't. |
