Reply to Is there a way to increase the zoom out range for planets and stars? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

I only know there is a parameter in each star and planet entity: minZoomDistanceMult the default value for planets is 1.250000 and for stars 2.000000 maybe this it the value you are looking for.

Reply to Help With Planet Wells and Distances? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Here are some tips about gravwells and planetsizes: There are 2 parameters in the planet and Star entites moveAreaRadius and hyperspaceExitRadius. The 3rd parameter is the BoundingRadius around the mesh you will find it in the mesh files. The meshes bounding radius (BoundingRadius) is the inner movement border. if you have no mesh in use (such as for nebulae etc.) then only the center point is the border

Reply to Putting resources in Star well in Sins Modding Sins Forums

No, stars and planet entities are very different. The only trick to overcome this problem is to make some kind of companion star, where you make an uncolonizable planet that looks like a star and has resources.

Reply to Sins of a Solar Empire: Diplomacy wish list in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

More use of cultural influence. In the current gameplaye culture is a good option to stabilze your empires borders, but how about taking over a independet colony by culture? And if it is possible some kind of cultural victory like in civ. BTW i am not quite shure but is it possible to spread your culture from one system to another?? I think not, maybe this will also be a good addition as a new research. Also more diplomatic interaction between empires would be a good thing.

I think allowing them to construct around a star is impossible to mod, and also would take to much resources and time if you want it a bit realistic. So the sphere is an ancient construct, that exists when you
