It would be super cool to see ships from Cowboy Bebop get turned into spacecraft!

Is there a catalog addon for OGLE? If not it would be nice if someone could pull that off, tried to find "Hoth" but there wasn't an OGLE-2005-BLG-390L b, and I noticed there are only a few of at least OGLE-2005 stars. Looking into it OGLR is a pretty decent sized catalog, I'm surprised if its not here since we also have a GAIA port.

I had an idea while experimenting with scripts for spaceports: Wouldn't it be possible to add labels for locations, terrain features, points of interest, etc. in the same way? No models needed, just a set of coordinates, elevation, and a name, then you'd have markers for whatever you wanted. Mountains, craters, rivers, cities, whatever. Even name your own surface features on exoplanets and share with the community.

Thanks JackDole, I'm working on a correction to match Klud's addon about Apollo 11 Landing site and Iapetus structures.
Raven, as you can see right now it can be done with WayPoints. SpaceEngineer plans to make easier to add labels somehow in future.

Thanks. I didn't know anyone had worked on it. That .pak drops my scene to 4 FPS when activated and doesn't show any labels. Anything I can do to make it work better? If not, no problem. I'll wait for the official version.

The pak adds labels on certain objects and they should appear in their proximity when you activate the labels on the filter toolbar to the right (['] key is the shortcut I believe), along with a small list of labeled objects.

I'm thinking of the common planetarium trick, showing the sky of a particular city of a particular time (i.e. "Today's Rome back in 500BC, 10pm", "Tokyo this Spring, 8am", "Moscow, NOW")
I know Space Engine allows to manually move to certain location then look up, but is there any add on/mod that can just bring up a menu and give a quick access for it?

Does anyone know where I can find final coordinates and heading of the Opportunity rover? I've only found info for the landing site and how far it traveled. Nothing exact about it's last position. I have the model and script ready for upload, just need an accurate location.

Perhaps these coordinates have not been recorded or announced because the distance traveled (45.16 km / 28.06 miles) is less than one degree minute.

Can someone make a procedural solar system that is reversed, with the gas giants first, then the terrestrial planets?

A-L-E-X · 26 Aug 2019 01:17

there are actual solar systems that are like that

Can somebody send me those shiny and reflective ships? I can't find them anywhere.

Not yet, alpha blending is planned but Vladimir has said it is complex and will take time to implement.
