HI there! :P

And now to bussiness:

I think it would be good to make command `paste` workable in popup
window (dialog box - when enter pushed). It would be much easyier
when using long names or - in the future - long script commands.

As my second idea: The time rate should be displayed 1e(count);
when i enforce i. e. 1000000000 rate it`s hard to read.

OK., I hope this time I`m not asking many... :lol:

Geeee... I`m sitting in internet cafe and it`s cold here... We have got
winter now in Poland!!!

Sorry 4 my english!! :lol:

Re your second idea: an alternative would be to display the time rate in terms of the amount of simulated time that passes in each second of real time. For example, 10x would be displayed as "10 s/s", 100x would be "1.7 min/s", 10000x would be "2.8 hr/s", 100000x would be "1.2 day/s", 10000000x would be "3.8 mo/s", and 1000000000x would be "31.7 yr/s". Higher rates would be displayed in terms of "cen/s" and "mil/s". (Time really flies when you're having fun with Celestia!)

I think the ideas are okay. I still would like the speed to be displayed in c(lightspeed) instead of a change in speed as you cross a certain barrier.
I'm not really using the script functions, but i like to type though. Paste would be nice. Doesn't really matter to me.

Also, the distance sometimes is unreadable. I propose:
1 345 345 765 (space included), or sth. like that

AlextheFirst,

I'm not sure what you mean by "unreadable", but you can change the font that Celestia uses. I found the default font size to be much too tiny when running at 1600x1200, so I edited celestia.cfg to use a larger size.

You can select any of the fonts that are in Celestia's fonts directory.

I hope this helps.

1 234 567 890

than from

1234567890

CU! :lol:
