Hi there - first time poster, long-term fan of the series.
While I was lurking here before joining the forums, I found a fascinating thread about finding systems with trojan planets. As an astronomy nerd, I was delighted back in F:E2 to visit the Eta Cassiopeiae system and see the huge gas giant Between and its two trojan companions, Trojan and Feynmann. So I was a little disappointed, on returning to the system in E: D, to discover that although the names are all the same, the three planets are no longer in a trojan configuration. (Between also looks less impressive than I remember it, but I can't put my finger on why - rings? lower albedo?)
I know that Frontier are going to be making some system tweaks as part of the Odyssey release; it would delight my geeky heart to see this landmark of the Core systems restored to its classic configuration as part of those tweaks.
