HotSauceKing71I have been screenshotting a collection of plant images before and after scans. Would they be helpful to the website for adding to the database of planets?

HotSauceKing71 - Xbox X

Hello, if they are in a good quality, distinct (not blending with the background too much) and not highlighted by the scanner, then yes - they may be usable for the illustration images, so players will know what they are looking for. If you are willing to share the images, please upload them somewhere in a zip file or so and send me a link. Thanks!

Hi Artie, I have a suggestion.

I find it hard to browse the star system page where all bodies are listed because they are sorted alpha, so you get body IX before body V. And everything is shuffled when bodies have a name.

I understand that changing the sort order to represent actual position in system would require to add a field "Position" in your database so that the page can be set up for a different sort... lot of work. But something to think about.

If ever you consider that, since some people will prefer the alpha sort, best would be to also have some check mark in user settings.

Hello and thank you for the suggestion! I agree it would be better to sort them by distance from the main star, I will take a look at that. I guess some alphabetical shortlist for quick jumps to the planets on the page won't harm, too.

Wow already online ! Good job on this system map.

Note that I stumbled on a mistake for system Alchiba when preparing my next survey ( for my instagram @starfieldsworlds ) :
- the moon V-a appears on the first orbit.

Ah, thanks, it seems the parent body wasn't set for it. I will fix it later today.
