Not sure why that might be - but I've updated some files and marked compatibility for version 2.0.0 anyway. It now certainly works on my end again, and I destroyed a galaxy to prove it.

strange, i enabled the mod, but the size is normal?

Well I never said they'd be to scale, just bigger :)

Yeah, to scale, if the star stays the same size as it is in the game, Earth would be about 2 systems away, for a sense of scale. Our solar system would be -way- bigger than the default galaxy. Playing in that scale just wouldn't be fun, which is, I suspect, why GGLucas didn't implement it. ;)

The problem with this is that the game already has celestial objects absurdly huge. Yes, if the sun is a basketball the earth is a grain of sand, but on that scale it's about 30 meters away, and Neptune is over a kilometer. I'd estimate the game already has celestials something like a billion times their actual size, so making them even -bigger-? Wow.

I'd say I want it the other way around... but I kinda don't. Stars are scaled about right to be a significant tactical feature of a system for combat. Too much smaller, and they wouldn't be.

The black hole on the other hand, should be big, as Sagitarius A* (The Milky Way's central black hole) is about the size of Mercury's orbit.

Hmm, maybe if you think of the graphical depictions as about the size of each object's area of gravitational predominance, it'd be closer.

Just tried it,wow, the sense of scale, galaxy feels less like a playground and more like a galaxy. Great work Darloth.:KneelingBow:

conquer the universe? nope conquer a random giant system for total domination.... sounds fun :)

that actually sounds absolutely awesome!

Heh - to be in a realistic scale, for sure! The game wouldn't play very well if everything were to scale though. What I have now looks okay to me, but feel free to have a poke around and change things if you want!

Maybe a map mode where everything is in one to-scale system though, with moons as full colonizable objects. That might be fun, but it would be a separate mod.

I'm not exactly knit-picking. But if anything the stars need to be even bigger. IRL if the Sun was a basketball the earth would be akin to the size of a sand grain.

PERFECTO!

thank you, now ships and such actually look more believable imho :)

I really love to have more visual improvement mods like this one
