Overview
An alternative method of showing which systems are within jump range. The less accurate green circle is replaced by coloured lines.
Reasoning
The problems with drawing a properly circular circle in the Oolite game code means that it approximates - and that reachable systems can be beyond the circumference. The game code rounds down to the integer witchspace quantum (1 IWQ = 0.4 LY) - thus 7.15ly becomes 6.8ly. This oxp is therefore more accurate.
