The Solar System is located at a radius of about 27,000 light-years (8.3 kpc) from the Galactic Center, on the inner edge of the Orion Arm, one of the spiral-shaped concentrations of gas and dust. It is estimated to contain 100–400 billion stars and at least that number of planets. The Milky Way has several satellite galaxies and is part of the Local Group of galaxies, which form part of the Virgo Supercluster, which is itself a component of the Laniakea Supercluster. Recent simulations suggest that a dark matter area, also containing some visible stars, may extend up to a diameter of almost 2 million light-years (613 kpc). The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy with an estimated D 25 isophotal diameter of 26.8 ± 1.1 kiloparsecs (87,400 ± 3,590 light-years), but only about 1,000 light years thick at the spiral arms (more at the bulge). Following the 1920 Great Debate between the astronomers Harlow Shapley and Heber Curtis, observations by Edwin Hubble showed that the Milky Way is just one of many galaxies. Until the early 1920s, most astronomers thought that the Milky Way contained all the stars in the Universe. Galileo Galilei first resolved the band of light into individual stars with his telescope in 1610. From Earth, the Milky Way appears as a band because its disk-shaped structure is viewed from within. The term Milky Way is a translation of the Latin via lactea, from the Greek γαλακτικός κύκλος ( galaktikos kýklos), meaning "milky circle". The Milky Way is the galaxy that includes our Solar System, with the name describing the galaxy's appearance from Earth: a hazy band of light seen in the night sky formed from stars that cannot be individually distinguished by the naked eye. restart the game and test the new configuration.Artist's illustration of what the Milky Way would look like if viewed from above its center. copy D:\ships over the original in the game data directory (you may want to save the original, just in case) run Ships2 Macro: it will compile the table on drive D:\ in ships.txt
tweak the table of parameters and descriptions run Ship1 Macro (click the buton or open the macro editor and chech it out first, your choice) delete previous text in Tabel_ships and Destinatie_ships tabs Upon copying you'll be asked about format. open ships.txt in Notepad++ and copy it's contents into the sheet Sursa_ships below (the light blue tab). identify the game "data" directory and ships.txt in it install Notepad++ if you dont have it and check that word wrap is disabled. This will enable the 2 macros in this file to run. enable macros in Libre Office (Tools > Options >Security > Macro Security > LOW). install Libre Office ( a free alternative to Microsoft Office).
So, if you want to try your hand (and mind) in thinking a better equilibrium for a not so simple Endless Sky, you might find useful this tool. After playing some 50+ hours Endless Sky, this little completely free gem of a game, I felt the need to tweak some ships, to make them more ponderous or formidable or under-powered.Įasily done, individually, with all the guides available, but I wanted to be able to modify the rest of the ships/systems/weapons according to my concept of how they should behave, without parsing a zillion lines of txt in ships.txt, weapons.txt and so on in the game's data folder.Įnter Tweak-a-Ship, 2 macro's embedded in the file that extract the information from ship.txt and put it in a table, for easy editing, and then puts it back in txt format
