g animation speed

a month ago

I understand it's a very WIP version but a small change I suggest after testing is at least making the animation a little SLOWER, it is crazy fast now. Preferably synced with reducing of the remaining ship's speed when it slows on arrival. Would be also nice if the planet was already visible from some distance and got bigger slowly when approaching the target, not just "popped" the second you are there.

(Also it doesn't work for already parked platforms after installing. Doesn't matter that much for ships, but permanently static platforms are a problem)

Config options are planned, just need to get time to do so. I don’t think there’s a way to show the planet before arrival, as the mod API doesn’t have a way to check distance to destination. (Pretty sure)

I’m aware of the parked platforms issue and listed a fix on the mod page. Just toggle paused status for the platform and the planet should appear. Let me know if this isn’t the case.

it wouldn't be a first for Wube to add API functionailities just to support mods, so if you want to, you could make such a request on the forums

I believe there is already an open request for this functionality, though I don't have it bookmarked. This wouldn't be the first mod to benefit from it's addition, so it'll be great if it does get added.
