- | ====== FAQ ====== | ||
- | The following is a FAQ for Star System Creation in General:\\ | ||
- | |||
- | **Are there actually any special rules for creating Star Systems? | ||
- | No. To be more specific, the rules you obey in Star System Creation are the same rules for other technology in SARP. In general though it is your best interest to have an idea of where you star system is in relation to other planets and contact the SARP's Game Master when you want the [[faq: | ||
- | \\ | ||
- | **So is their even like a preferred format in SARP from making a Star System or Planet?**\\ | ||
- | Actually yes! Even though their are no rules exclusive to making systems, over the years the community has evolved a general preference toward how star systems have looked. | ||
- | - 99% of approved star systems have wikipages listed under the '' | ||
- | - Stars Systems have a purpose such as being a faction homeworld, strategic base for some faction, or a place where something important has occurred. | ||
- | - Many of the most actively used star systems have or have a had some kind of artwork done for them whether it is a map or a picture of the planet. | ||
- | - In the first one or two lines of the wikipage, a star's location is always given in light years relative to another famous approved object in SARP. Typically one choose Yamatai as the reference point. This is to help the game master figure out where to put them on the map | ||

- | - Star systems have list of properties of about planets in the system in table format. | ||

- | ====== Question about Star System' | ||
- | * What is like the basic history of Star System Creation that you remember, Wes? Any interesting highlights or events? | ||
- | * Was Yamatai the only planet when SARP first started? | ||
- | * What was the first planet/star system made after Yamatai and the original planets? | ||
- | * When was the starmap created in SARP? Who have been the major contributors to the starmap? | ||
- | * Did people ever use Celestia for Star System creation? | ||
- | * Optional (if Wes doesn' | ||

- | ====== Basics 101 ====== | ||
- | ===== Intro ===== | ||
- | When making a star, everyone should ask themselves the following questions: | ||
- | ==== Star Questions ==== | ||
- | * //What is the color do I want my sun? Do I want a light blue (A), white (F), yellow (G), orange (K), or red (M) sun? | ||
- | // | ||
- | * //What is the order of my planets?// | ||
- | * //What is the name of my system? Where is my system located? | ||
- | * //Does my solar system have a asteroid belt?// | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Gas Giant Questions ==== | ||
- | {{ public_domain_images: | ||
- | |||
- | * //Is my gas giant a [[wp> | ||
- | * //What are the primary colors of my gas giant? Does my gas giant have bands and storms or is it completely opaque and placid?// | ||
- | * //Does my gas giant have moons or rings? | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Small Planet Questions ==== | ||
- | * //Is my planet a [[wp> | ||
- | * //Is my planet habitable?// | ||
- | * //What kind of type of planet do I have? Is it a type of [[wp> | ||
- | * //Does my planet have a breathable, trace, or lethally toxic atmosphere?// | ||
- | * //Does my planet have moons?// | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Figuring out Planet Type ===== | ||
- | Planet Type is basically what is the general characteristic and features of planet. | ||
- | |||
- | Thus one can either define the each planet type by normal scifi classification of what the planets major features are or use a more realistic exosolar planet classification. | ||
