Plus no tides or anything related and no universe expansion.

It can be very-very-very frustrating.

I know it is related to the core logic of the software design, but this is the most frustrating part for me.


I tried to introduce dynamic content (in both creation/removing and object motion) in my fork, but it disrupted performance and was eventually rejected by @onetwothree (who also argued these features are in fact unneeded). Currently I see no way to implement dynamic octree with in-memory aligned data, which is needed to save current performance.
Still formally developer, but too tired to develop. I feel sad, but Celestia is going forward despite it.
Btw, the universe is ruled by electricity.
