-The vanilla game code provides for just one star with one close-by planet. No moons. No rings. No solar flares. This is, as you probably realise, easily alterable by the OXPs (see [[Guide to Ambience OXPs]] for more detail). Thus, OXP's have created rings, solar flares, a pulsar, ''etc''. They have changed the star types, distances, the look of the nebulae, ''etc''.

 Incidentally, this is why the 7LY jump limit is for me the key thing that makes Oolite what it is.
-With the jump limit increased by a mere 0.2LY, for instance, a jump from [[Sector5/Bexe|Bexe]] to [[Sector5/Zaenza|Zaenza]] becomes possible, and the Steel Halo in Gal 5 goes from being an extremely interesting branch with one story already set there - and at least one other very obvious story no-one's yet published - to being a relatively dull cluster of industrial and semi-industrial worlds.
