And back to the "I'm not wrong, I'm persecuted" manoeuvre.
<sigh> very well:
this reminds me of that episode of the Simpsons where Mr Burns keeps telling that guy to cut his moons off without really knowing what moons are.
Happy now?

I didn't hijack the thread, I answered your post (post #2, remember?). You then sedgewayed into calling us fanboys.

Shall we conclude that there was a misunderstanding over how the game refers to moons as 'planets' and 'worlds' instead of moons? So that to the casual observer there appear to be no moons in the game? But that when you take into account the astronomical definition of moons as planets orbiting other planets, the game, according to that definition, contains many, many moons, even if the game itself does not refer to them as such?

There is nothing incorrectly named since moons are planets. When a planet is a moon, is a very loose definition, which is why this therm is not used.
You are clearly trolling since several people have already explained thoroughly, why your initial assumption is incorrect and you either ignored them completely or made fun of them. Furthermore you proceed to ridicule everything that is said in an attempt to annoy people. That's what we call trolling.
The definition is quite exact. I posted it earlier. You might even say that I explained it quite thoroughly and you ignored it completely.

"I'm not wrong, you confused me"
It's not that hard.
It really isn't confusing at all.
1) Is it a planet?
if YES > next question
if NO > not a moon
2) Is it orbiting another planet?
if YES > It's a moon
if NO > not a moon

A moon is a planet orbiting another planet. Astronomers say so. No fanboys were consulted as far as I know.

FWIW, I think it would have been more elegant if the ED system map referred to moons as such, but I don't think it's exactly a big deal. They're there.
