Regarding updates to status.json based on location - assuming nothing else changes, then the Latitude or Longitude would have to change by 0.02deg to trigger an update, or the Altitude would need to change by 5%, or the Heading change by 10 degrees. (but the heading needs to be steady - if you get into a spin it should not trigger multiple updates)
Many thanks for this update. A 0.02deg change works for me, and I hadn't even considered the spin problem.
I also like the inclusion of a body's parents. However, as I explored and looked at the data is became clear that the Barry Points data is not included.
While the information we have allows us to build up a system map like presented in game, it would not be possible to build an orrery. I'm not planning
on anything like as beautiful as
this concept art, but it would be nice to have a go.
If I am being cheeky (and why can't I be?) then I would ask for the Orbital Parameters to be copied/moved to the the DiscoveryScan event. This way an
orrery could be built quickly and displayed so the commander so (s)he can plan their path of exploration around a system. If you do consider adding the
Barry Point data in a future release, then would it be possible to include in the status.json file the system co-ordinates of the ship?
Thanks for all the hard work from you and all at FDev
