Well, so far I have managed to create an ipt name generating script. I can generate a random sector and any star that isn't given a default name will get a Greek letter name followed by a name from the Tranquility Calander, plus some extra scientist and philosopher names (Including Mark Twain).
Epsilon Armstrong anybody?
So for right now, that works for starting to create my setting; not that I can use up a whole sector, but there's plenty of room to grow.
I'm going to set my sector in The Outer Volumes, or The Periphery.
My populated worlds will be connected by routes facilitated by wormhole generators, or is that no good?
Until today, I couldn't imagine myself setting a private eye story in a scifi setting but this happened today...

"I woke up in my new clone with that awful backup/restore headache. I would take a good old fashioned migraine over one of these any time.
Worst headache ever, but not near as bad as that time someone killed me during the copying process.
The folks at Consciousness Recovery had to do a fresh backup and trim my memory. Otherwise I couldn't recover from the resulting PTSD.
I got that from my medical records, because I couldn't remember.
Imagine that.
Yet that wasn't the most important question throbbing in my mind at that moment.
Who killed me?
More over, why would anybody want to kill me?
I went and got some recovery meds to ease the pounding in my skull.
There wasn't enough time for my murder to be in the news yet, so I decided to go get some food.
It occurred to me that I must have been getting close to something, or they wouldn't have risked killing me. It seemed that The Covenant had assumed I couldn't afford to keep a clone and a backup. They wouldn't have taken a chance, committing an act as desperate as murder.
I fell into line in the medfac cafeteria and began to pile bad hospital food on my tray.
I was so hungry, I would have chewed the leg off of an ostrich at that point.
One of the draw backs of awakening in a fresh clone"


But, back to location data.
The Inner Sphere is basically sol centric space, right?
So why couldn't you start with the built in template that is centered on sol, and build off of that?
I'm 56 years old with a trade school education in IT and some VERY unrefined programming (Read as scripting) skills, so I don't know how helpful I can be, but let me know and I'd be happy to help out.
Also, has anybody tried Blender for 3D modeling in OA?
