Re: An interesting reconstruction era campaign idea
Star systems are very spread out. Not to mention the suns gravity field extends well past pluto by a lot(you could do an insystem jump well past pluto if you wished). In a heavily populated system i would imagine people spend most of their time at all the planets in sol, if not in orbit arount them, or commuting to another planet. After that you have empty space which is just uninteresting. Idk, a newly formed node in the outreaches of the system could be plausible.

And since in Sol with the loss of the single jump node leading out of the system, they would immediately be on the look out for other nodes anywhere, even in the outskirts of the system. Yeah, that idea would be good.

Re: An interesting reconstruction era campaign idea
Maybe in a future update of the main campaign, the designers could insert the "true" colors for the stars, if they are incorrect, and in the case of Capella, add couple more suns.

I'd leave Capella out of that really. But it's not a bad idea for the others. In fact I think someone was working on doing that once.

Personally, i'd prefer that little bit of realism is just left damn well alone. I mnea, primarily it's going in and changing :V:'s work for no real reason other than "why not", and two... well, i've got a colour-motif going with my campaigns, so I sorta need Vega to be red... :nervous:

The idea was to change the suns while the upgrade to the background nebulae was going on.

AFAIK there are no FS2 campaign missions set in Vega anyway :)
