after extending the SMA's by one more digit i can safely say that Zenith Galaxy 1.2 can now use the orbit validator without crashing, and even better it doesn't encounter any issues whatsoever, meaning that yes, it will be possible for me to upload it.
downside is, however, of course, that you will now need way more powerful crafts to reach a star system, but hey, it's either that or no ZG at all.

and for those wondering, yes, Lucius has all celestial bodies so far uploaded, i'll most likely upload the system soon... :)

    @Zenithspeed Well I've been slowly working on Droo for the system, I've also put a tiny amount of work into my kerbal system that is going off of SergejGrauberger's Kerbal system. So, it'll be a little bit before I post anything for the system.

    yes, you do need to edit the XML externally, i haven't seen any mods that let you have an "overload for PS" that would let you edit values within the game
    anyways, i hope to see your star cluster soon :)

    Don't mean to bother you, but I have another question: Do you use text editor to edit the systems XML file?

    @Zenithspeed Thanks for the information, I've been racking my mind on how I should get a true star cluster system.

    you need to edit the SMA's of the celestial bodies in the system's XML file, so far its the only way to get orbits beyond whatever the normal limit is

    I got a question because I've been wanting to do something like this with the Juno Star Cluster. How did you get everything out far enough so that the orbit manager doesn't turn inside out when you try to validate orbits?
