View Full Version : [Sectors] Reposition Planets that are too close to gates

Since .7 is going to require a restart and all....

There are several sectors in the game that have a planet atmosphere brushing up against one of the gates(I.E. Split Fire). While the player can generally enter the gate without ill effects, AI controlled ships or ships controlled by various scripts have an alarming tendency to stray out too far and hit the atmosphere, destroying themselves.

Would it be possible to slightly reposition the planets in those affected sectors so that the planet is far enough away to prevent such behaviour?

I'll certainly take a look at it, any other sectors besides Split Fire?

I remember there being at least 2 other sectors in the game that were similarly affected. One was a Paranid sector in that area around Cardinal's Domain. Probably Spring of Belief. There was at least one other such sector. They all give the entering atmosphere warning when the player is near the affected gate and straying perhaps another 20km or so out will destroy the ship.

I'll fire up X3 tonight and try to nail down all the affected sectors.
