Visibility limit pushed up to 1 000 000 k.
Though at distances starting from ~300 000k and up from the origin a small jitter appears, and it grows with distance. Possibly, not enough precision in floating point calculations. If one will be using ships sized as battleship, it is not noticeable, unlike for smaller ships. So, roughly, we have a "playground" sphere with 1 million k radius or 2m k in diameter. The planet is a custom .cmp and sized up to 40k in radius.
This is for the first variant, one system - one planet. Either, once I find how to, this could be used as a "small satellite" location with gas giant in the background (starsphere).
Another option, as mentioned before - moving planets into background, leaving all space for stations and small objects.
Simultaneously I am attempting to tune the ship handling. And again, with the tweaks provided by Dev, Cannon, Adoxa and others, I disabled autolevel, camera autolevel (neither ship nor camera won't orient the ecliptic plane anymore, no more useless rotations), put in TZ plug-in, toyed a bit with .ini parameters. Though yet have to be careful and see how NPCs react on those changes.
Next on list is making custom starsphere.

How the hell did you do that? You are a minor god, or something? O.o

That's really awesome!
Would you then have several systems like this, or just one big system with different areas of activity?

Big system would be awesome, but I believe moveable with the JG only between points. You know...

I am thinking of this: one planet, many bases, asteroid belt(s), spots of interest, small objects; Gate would lead to another planet, or nebula or station, orbiting fictional planet. I want SCALES.
EDIT: And once it will come to ships, there will be mechas with guns as well.

- Make this thing happen.
- Start a RP server.
- ...
- Profit.

Y know i actually want this thing happen we could take the idea
of the nomad system that was in vanilla it was awesome
but make it so much bigger and add everything shallow said

Are you talking about Dyson sphere? It is still there
