    Distant Stars

Based on Wildeblood OXP Distant Suns and Stranger's World.
Based on System Features Sunspots OXP(cim).

Overview - DS
==============

The color of the stars depends on sun radius and the planet radius. Agricultural shifted to K-type star, Industrial closer to A-type stars. A-type star are located far away.
The radius of the sun used by default. The corona shim and hues did change.
Recommended use with OXP - System Features Sunspots 1.5.

Version History
================
 Version 0.0.1
 - Test release.
 Version 0.0.2
 - Adjusted the corona flare and correct other parameters. Human inhabitant is not factor now. Correct distance to HZ range. Add sun name.
 Version 0.0.3
 - Adjusted the color of white stars. Correct distribution, fixed bug calculation.  Add corona hues and corona shimmer.
 Version 0.0.4
 - Aggregateted to one file - planetinfo.plist.
 - Added script that did variable corona flare (frequent, dreadful, unpredictable) based on the system description.
 Version 0.0.5
 - Compatible with The Collector OXP.
 Version 0.0.6
 - Fixed populator script for the sun features in the oolite v1.84.
 Version 0.0.7
 - Increased a little more corona flare in the K-type stars.
 - Corrected corona flare in the F-type stars from low limit value to more value.
 - Reduced distance sun-planet in the K8 stars.
 - Fixed sun features script to avoid addition on the saved flare in startup.
 - Added small random value to corona flare for all type of stars.

 Future version
 - Adjusted the color in the F-type stars.
 - Turned off debug messages.
