Just warped to a planetary district to find out how grids work with things in orbit. (damn curiosity)
Would you have to use 'keep at range' to stay over the district?
What happens when you hit grid-borders?

Easy answer:
Apparently they just stopped every planet with districts from turning. -> problem solved Big smile

Is this true or was I just not patient enough?
Did those planets really stop turning?

Yes they do. (they turn around their own axis)
They never orbited around their central star though.

Ahh, i knew they didnt orbit (it would be to complicated to calculate for the game engine etc is the reason i head) but i never realised they rotated.

Citation needed that they actually rotated before.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

The planets did rotate before and we did stop them. Hopefully someday in the future we can get them rotating again, but as it stands we had to stop them.

They don't turn. Clouds move across the surface on some types, but this is client-side rendering.

Can you make it so that the sun is always setting/rising?

Then I can take my RL GF for a romantic dinner with the sunset/sunrise as a backdrop.

I hear freezing to death is much more pleasant than dying of dehydration or slowly burning to death. :)

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

Fighting back is more fun than not.

No danger of burning to death here Lol

In the last 3 years (East Mids) we've had :

a) the coldest winter on record (2010)
b) the driest year on record (2011)
c) the wettest year on record (2012)

Probably screwed for this year too Roll

Edit - the last time we had a really hot summer was 9 years ago when Eve came out. Incidentally Eve managed to get my Radeon 9800Pro so hot that SMD caps fell off the back - still worked though Shocked

haha, it wasn't just that was it. 2012 started with a mini-drought, and we ended it being 'AT RISK' for more floods, as the ground couldnt take any more.. Wierd, eh?

On topic, i havent checked out the Planets yet. Might have to a bit later when i get back on.

On the subject of orbits, they should, that would be wicked... But make the orbits so large for some planets, that it doesnt go anywhere fast...(Think about 90AU orbits.. ouch)

Does that mean, that there are now districts where it is always night during battle?

Mmmm this was weird :

Summer Showers in East Mids

Golfball hailstones - more summer weather

The rest of the time it just rained - for 62 successive days.

Could be worse, could be in Adelaide where it hit 45C recently with overnight "lows" of 41C Shocked
