List of Space Platforms orbiting a given planet

Post by Gizzmohammer »

Request:

LuaPlanet.GetStoppedSpacePlatforms(force?)

Returns a list of Space Platforms currently stopped at the planet (optionally filtered by force)

Reasoning:

There must be some system that tracks this already (for rocket silos, etc). Would be nice to have access to that through the API.

Possible uses:

- alternate platform/planet logistic solutions
- platform-to-platform logistics
- platform-to-platform combat
- platform-to-planet combat (orbital laser)

Current workarounds:

brute-force checking every spaceplatform.location in each force.platforms list

I've added this for the next release. Note that it will only include platforms that have the starter pack applied (that have the hub itself built).
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
