![]() The proportions and salient characteristics of stars are actually worked out here. The heart of realism is, in this case, the systems. ![]() Pulsars (these are cool, but I may need to ask Stardock about how to get the effect right).Quark stars (I just made up how they look, but it is sparkly and neat.True white dwarfs (not the main-sequence dwarf in the game).Stellar remnants are enabled, including:.Protostars, with accretion disks (I'm kind of proud of this one).Giant stars take up more than one hex (and you can't pass through the extra hexes).Mathematically converted brightness and radius based on logarithmic transformations.Scientifically accurate RGB colors for the photosphere and in the corona effects.All of the main types are available in dwarf (main-sequence) and giant sizes (sorry, no supergiants or hypergiants, they are too rare.All four types of brown dwarf are here (and they aren't brown, either).No purple stars (I've considered adding purple and green as 'Precursor stars').Carbon stars are not implemented, and I'm not sure I should bother.All of the major spectral types are represented.The stars in the mod actually look more dull than in the vanilla game, and are harder to tell apart by color, but that is closer to reality. Also, because of how the game is programmed, there is no variation among stars of the same type, which was something I tried desperately to achieve. My goal is to offer a mod that changes the game only to make it more realistic, without disturbing the underlying gameplay too badly (except where demanded by realism). These mods should be somewhat modular, in that you can swap them out (except you will need Stars for Systems). This mod, or rather series of mods, is an attempt to add some quantitative and qualitative science to the game, based on recent research and observations. Just wanted to let folks know that I will be putting up a mod on Nexus sometime in the next month or so.
