Fleet names need to match something defined in the game data files. In the sidebar on the left, you can view and edit a system’s commodity prices, fleets, and minables.

You will also need to edit the map file manually if you want to specify a star system’s background haze or ambient music. For example, to create a wormhole you might just create a gas giant as a placeholder, then manually change its sprite. You can also click and drag objects to change their orbits, and there are keyboard shortcuts for randomly changing sprites or adding objects to the system.įor some special objects (like wormholes and unusual stars) you will need to edit the map file manually to add them in. Usually it’s sufficient to just generate random star systems (using the keyboard shortcuts in the “System” menu) until you get one that matches what you want the system to contain. In the System tab, you can edit the stellar objects in a single star system, including their orbital positions and paths. The existing labels use 24-point Zapfino font, with the fill color set to #AABBCCDD. Right now, you need to add these to the map file manually. The “galaxy” objects in the map file define background images, including the big image of the galaxy itself and the text labels for different regions of space. You can delete the currently selected system by pressing the delete key. food and clothing cheaper in “frontier” regions and medical goods and equipment cheaper on more developed worlds. Keep randomizing the prices until you end up with something that makes sense, e.g. The entire region of space connected to the currently selected system will have new commodity prices assigned. To randomize commodity prices, click on the name of one of the commodities in the list (not the price, or you’ll go into text editing mode) and then press ‘C’. When a system is selected, you can toggle hyperlinks to that system by right clicking on other systems. To add a new star system, right click on the background. The large circle around the selected system shows the range of a jump drive. To pan the view, click and drag on the background (i.e. You can then drag it around to reposition it, or double-click to switch to the System tab. In the Galaxy tab, left click on a system to select it. These shortcuts only work if you do not currently have a text entry box selected. There are keyboard shortcuts (shown in the menus) for automatically generating systems, asteroids, commodity prices, etc. an “images” folder exists one level up) the editor will also load the landscape images and sprites for planets. If it is in a standard game data location (i.e. Binary releases will happen occasionally, but are not as high a priority right now as the development of the game itself.
