Enhancement request: add default criteria for inclined+nearby moons of ringed planets & for planets very close to their stars

Open Starfire70 opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Inclined moons that are near their ringed gas giant and planets that are near their parent star can be great tourist stops for the view. Here's what I added to my custom file to cover these.

::Proximity:: scan.Landable and scan.DistanceFromArrivalLS < 20 ;the only problem with this is that it won't detect close proximity planets around companion stars ;using semi-major access also triggers for moons around planets which I don't want

::Criteria:: if scan.Landable and scan.OrbitalInclination > 5 and scan.OrbitalPeriod < 2600000 and parents then if parents[0].Scan and parents[0].ParentType == 'Planet' and parents[0].Scan.Rings then return true, 'Inclined Moon', '' end end ::End::

::Criteria:: if scan.Landable and scan.OrbitalInclination < -5 and scan.OrbitalPeriod < 2600000 and parents then if parents[0].Scan and parents[0].ParentType == 'Planet' and parents[0].Scan.Rings then return true, 'Inclined Moon', '' end end ::End::

Planets very near their parent star should already trigger the close relative orbit criteria for any reasonably large star. 20ls is a bit far for my taste of what I'd consider "close".

Inclined moons is a good one though and I've seen a lot of people adding it as a custom criteria. It may well be time to promote it to default. I'll see if I can squeeze it in.
