Why NeutronStar can't replicate that?

I can't get the ratios correct, it doesn't look cool like the picture on the front page.

Do you have the system of the "Moons orbit a fictional planet"?

Sorry, I don't. This was a screenshot I took after some random experimentation. You should be able to come up with something similar by:
- Open up the "Moons, 75 orbiting Earth" simulation (you're already in "Bounce" mode)
- Add a Neptune body
- Shrink the mass on Neptune (and maybe its radius)
- Click "Orbital All"
- Change the color mode to Velocity (I think that's what I used)

Let me know if I can be of any more help.

Don't forget you can use the M key to move bodies around.

Hover over  a body and then press and hold M to move it.
