Hi all,
Recently, I started to make a modification of all star systems in game.I made thirty new types of stars and more than hundred types of different star systems including binary, trinary, quaternary, quintuple . I found that some abilities like shield disruption would be interesting for some stars like newtron stars, white dwarfs, giants, supergiants and blue main sequence stars that have ( in real world ) strong star wind, gravitation field or ultraviolet radiation.I tried to realize it through a modification for star ability types.

I added a new stellar ability type for necessary stars, changed chance of this ability to 1000, added the ability “Damage Caused To Space Vehicles” in “Ability 1 Type” field, changed ability scope to “Sector Range - All” and entered a range – 6 in “Ability 1 Range Formula := ” field.When I started a new game, a central star has added ability, but this ability didn’t affect to ships in all sectors except central sector when the star was located.I tried changing of ability type to “Move Towards Center”, but this ability caused moving of all system objects in whole system, when I added only a 6 sectors range for it.
