  in Are there any plans for AS4? Comment by brothercool June 2015
• Don't count on it. Ed has made it perfectly clear that AS is a mapping software and not a sim, and that he and/or NBOS have no desire to make a program with features that we users actually want. I've all but given up on AS ever being what I truly…

• Give EDG's Stellar Mapping guide a read. You can find it at

• Right on, EDG and Chaos. I'm right there with you. I too have hit the end of AS's usefulness. Better and more scripting examples would go a long way to helping us discover this supposed "power feature" in AS.

• That's something I'd like to know too. At present, there are things I love about AS and things I don't. With some of the projects I'm working on, I've seem to hit the limits of the program. What I'd like to see: 1) Better handling of very large…

• Does anyone know how to make the built-in API generators produce Earth analogs? Ed added the terraforming slider to the program, but is it accessible via scripts?

• Any other luck? Ed_NBOS is isn't very helpful is this regard, but maybe some others around here are.

  in Random system generation with constraints Comment by brothercool August 2012
• Anyone else? I'm sure you mean well, Ed, but that was less than helpful. Why not give us some proper documentation for the API? Give us some insight into the different generators in scripting (I know of two, are there more?). Can we edit the crit…

• The SQL worked. Thanks Ed. I guess I can't see in my code where I was adding the child to a second system. Could you point it out to me?

• Wow. This is ridiculous. Not only is there a total lack of documention within the Alien API docs, the lack of functions is laughable. Why is there an AddChild function but not a DeleteChild function? And I said delete child, I know I can delete a…

• I got a chunk of code that reassigns a space station to a temp star that gets deleted once the station has been moved. Stepping through each system's children and looking for stations, the code deletes the first two and then I get a runtime error. I…

• Sorry that I didn't get right back. I sorted it out. When I reorganized the data, a field was missing and threw an error.
