Yes, but have you checked the blog today? :-)

I put up a screen shot of the new orbit display tonight.

I had thought about doing that.  The only downside is that it'll take a lot 
of time to generate such images and they're seperate images that need to be 
uploaded to a web server (if you're putting it online).  On a small map, 
not a problem.  But if you ran a script to generate planet maps for every 
body in your 200x200x200 sector... :-)

On my to-do list was some sort of city/population distribution generation 
(if so desired) for the generator.  It wouldnt be terribly detailed, but 
would give a general idea of how the population was dispersed.  I dont 
think actually placing settlements on maps would work at this 
point.  Unless there's already an FWE map generated for the body that could 
be referenced, it would just be purely random placements.
