That's why they all moved to the Torus and beyond...it's not smart to fool with mother nature; she bites.

It's also the only planet in the X-Universe that doesn't rotate.

Does it actually not rotate (no terminus), or are you and the torus just in geosynchronous orbit?

That's OK, IMHO. The Torus should rotate with the Earth below.

vanilla solar system is just horrible...

innacurate, wrong and ugly....

no jovian moons, titania and triton don't seem to exist. only "moons" that are in game are luna and charon.
and charon is not really a moon.

no eris, no sedna, ONE kuiper belt sector, that should be like three sectors, mobile mining paradise!

not to mention that sun shines the same on pluto and on mercury. and no, there is no game engine restriction for that, it's a 30 minute job.

no planets seem to rotate, except for jupiter. well... venus and mercury don't really rotate too much in real life... so that's ok.

instead of 3 stupid jupiter sectors they could have made trojan asteroid sectors with a very small jupiter in the background.

it's all wrooooong!!!
in november 2948 Mercury is the closest planet to earth, not venus! also jupiter is very close at that time and is in completely oposite direction from any other inner planet. in fact all planets except for jupiter and neptune are on the wrong side of the sun at that point. TOAs are pointing in the wrong way, and sectors are in a wrong place.

My vote is with vukica making a physically correct mod of our solar system.
