This new feature allows you to search your sector map by querying virtually any attribute - such as name, population, body type, atmosphere, political affiliation, gravity, and even custom fields - using simple English-like terms.ĪstroSynthesis now tracks a sector-wide date and time. This allows the program to generate higher quality and smoother graphics and effects.ĪstroSynthesis 3.0 supports an enhanced searching system called Natural Language Search. Place background images on your map to produce visually gripping 3D displays!ĪstroSynthesis 3.0 supports hardware based anti-aliasing, and will enable it if your graphics card supports such functionality (most do). You can pan and rotate around them, and zoom closer for a better look at any angle! And its easy to add your own 3D models. Ships, Fleets, Space Stations, and other bodies are now displayed as 3D models, rather than simple images. In addition, the speed of surface map generation has been greatly increased, and the processing can now take full advantage of multi-core processors. You no longer need to right click and request the surface map be generated. In addition to being able to generate a map of a specific size, you can now select a specific number of star systems to generate, and let the program automatically size the sector.Īs soon as a terrestrial or gas giant planet is selected in the system data display, a surface map for the planet is immediately generated. Or select any of the levels of terraforming in between. You can opt to have the generator perform no terraforming, making hospitable worlds rare, or you can have it perform a lot of terraforming, placing hospitable worlds in nearly any system that can feasibly sustain them.

The amount of 'terraforming' - alterations to a planet to make it hospitable - can now be controlled during system generation. So you can, for example, tell the generator to generate more gas giants, or fewer multiple star systems. The star system generator now lets you select the relative frequencies of occurrence for each type of stellar body.

Perhaps the most requested feature to date - the orbital view now displays 3D renditions of multiple star systems! This includes both 'simple' multiple star systems, and complex Far Multiple systems that themselves contain one or more Close Multiple systems. The orbital display is now seamlessly integrated into the main window, allowing you to quickly switch back and forth between the 3D star map display and orbital views. Whether you are mapping local space, or an extensive interstellar empire, AstroSynthesis 3.0 will give you the tools you need to create your sci-fi universe!Ĭheck out some of AstroSynthesis 3.0's new features:
