' Wrote:yus! i vote for .87 and removal of the 'flat' systems, and replacing them with huuuuuuge planets that move. oh wait. that'll break the tradelane thingys....
Well technically the flat solar systems are correctish; most planets tend to lie on the same plane in a star systems by virtue of how they form in the first place (by the accretion process).
There are many astronomical oopses when it comes to Freelancer;
- None of the planets rotate on their axis
- The vast majority have no axial tilt
- Gas giants are present closer to or at the same distance from a star as terrestrial planets
- Most of the asteroid fields/belts in the game should not exist due to the way gravity acts on solid matter in a stellar orbit
