 The vast distances change the nature of the game when it comes to in-system missions. Many of these which involve time-limits are broken by the increased distances.

Hence some stations which are placed, for example, in solar orbit are left stranded when the sun is moved to another position and end up in the middle of nowhere!

-SW Economy is not yet fully implemented. The mining/extractive worlds appear identical to the agricultural worlds, with the same icons and the same market prices.

 ==== Equipment ====
 The changes in Astronomy & Physics have led to some new equipment. Vast solar systems where all travel costs fuel - and where one cannot scoop solar flux due to distance from the sun, means that one needs more fuel (and an MFD to display Solar Wind Flux rating). Further, the gravity well of the planet now relates to its mass/size so the vanilla game altimeter is no longer as reliable. With so many in-system cargo deliveries involving planetary landings, a better altimeter is needed. (Roolite's Planet Land adds more to the planets surface - choices of landing sites, different views, ''etc'').
