Sphere of Influence

I have a suggestion for AstroSyn.

I'm helping a friend create a SF RPG, and we are using AstroSyn for the mapping software. We want to be able to use a color for a "Sphere of Influence" for each faction. But we need to be able to select planets for this sphere. (although it may not be an actual "sphere" in shape. You have Sphere or Cube, Can you add CUSTOM, so we can select and dictate where the Sphere of Influence actually is?

Example: (Note, this is not my pic)

Most SciFi games I know of, don't have perfectly round or cubed sphere of influences.

Please let me know Ed.

Thanks heaps!

    Hi Lee, unfortunately no, thats not something I'd be able to add in. Arbitrary 'blobs' like that in 3D arent easy to calculate, nor would the user interface required to define such an area be feasable to implement.

    Ok Ed, I do understand the issue at creating it.
    Thanks as always!
