Allow to set a space location's parent.

Post by Poutinator »

Hi,

Reading the documentation on planets' magnitude, orientation and distance, I was expecting space locations to have a parent we could set to add moon or other kind of satellites around planets or other stars. Right now, we can place a moon near it's planet but the orbit will still be drawn around the sun. It could also be usefull to know the relationship between location in script.

I understand it might not be a priority. I'm hoping it's not too hard to add without changing too much stuff. It would making modded additional planets/stars/etc. nicer on the map and easier to work with

Thanks!

Sorry, didn't see your post, I've put details on why it would be interesting and what changes it would need.
