- Use option "Z" to generate details of a solar system. The procedure is fairly
- slow. First select the sytem, by cursor keys or entering coordinates. The
- screen has several areas;
- ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
- ║ Symbol map of solar system (as first maps) ║
- ╠═══════════════╦╦═══════════════════════════════╣
- ║ belt thickness║║ Map of planetary surface or ║
- ║ or axial tilt ║║ diagram of star / star pair / ║
- ║ (& moons) ║║ asteroid belt / giant & moons ║
- ╠═══════════════╬╬═══════════════════════════════╣
- ║ Plan of orbit ║║ Data (format varies with ║
- ║ eccentricity ║║ details of star or planet) ║
- ╚═══════════════╝╚═══════════════════════════════╝
- If life is present, cities or colonies are shown as square markers;
- Green = Human colony Red = Alien colony Yellow = native colony or city.
- Next we'll demonstrate detailed solar system generation, after
- a quick look at a map of the entire system (not to scale).
- * To skip this section, press "S". To continue, press another key.
- * To stop the demonstration, press "X" at any beep.
- * To print data press "P" at any beep, for printed maps press "M" at any beep°.
