Asteroid Belt

by MrLumme

Adds an asteroid belt, dividing the solar system into inner planets, and the outer planets. Inner planets are Nauvis, Vulcanus, Fulgora, Gleba (Mods: Castra, Rubia, Moshine, Igrys, Corrundum). Outer planets are Aquillo, (Mods: Maraxsis, Tenebris, Cubium, Secretas & Frozeta, Paracelsin). The edges of the belt are very resource rich. Traveling through the belt is a short but difficult trip, required either a well armed and armoured vessel or one that can moderate it's speed.

g Aquilo + Paracelsin Routes

17 days ago

Just noticed in my setup with Asteroid Belt + Paracelsin, there's a weirdness with the triangle of Outer Edge - Aquilo - Paracelsin. In particular, the route between Aquilo and Paracelsin is 50 000 km, while the distance when traveling through the Outer Edge location is 45 000 km (10 000 km for Aquilo, 35 000 km for Paracelsin). In addition to violating the Triangle Inequality of geometry, it also makes it so ships will generally not choose the direct path.

Not sure how Asteroid Belt decides on lengths, but I would think it good to add at least 5 000 km to the Outer Edge - Paracelsin route so it's at least tied with the direct route.

I've added 10.000 km to it now. So hopefully it works right now :)
