Out of curiosity, is it possible to mod the Star to give it properties similar to Gas Giants- IE: making it Orbital-only? The star is currently a big dumb object that other big dumb objects orbit around, with absolutely nothing else to it. If we could turn it into something like a Gas Giant, it would actually serve a purpose in normal gameplay.
Unfortunately at moment the sun it's not real space object in PA, it's just visual effect and it's not count as "planet".
How hard would it be to make the sun count as a "planet" consisting of only a "visual effect" with an orbital shell preferably a good distance away from the surface of the effect?
As far as I understand @drich147 is right and it's shouldn't be too hard to replace sun with gas planet because gas giants likely work same way (this why you instantly see size changes within system editor) with exception that they're count as actual planets.
