Hey there everyone, new user here. I just got US yesterday after playing around with it for the hour time limit, and I'm loving it.
I'm a little stuck, though, on how to make some more interesting systems. So far, all I've been able to do is set a star in the middle of a system and place objects at seemingly random distances, and then tell them to auto-orbit.
Is there any way to give an object a velocity in a direction that's not headed directly towards the largest mass in a system, as it would if it were just placed there?
Also, is there any way to make a system out of an accretion disk, as it might happen in reality? For example, I'd love to be able to simply put down a massive disk of dust and gas and watch as a system is formed. (I know that it wouldn't be too realistic, as this simulator doesn't take into account affects such as solar wind and such, but I'd like to try anyways.)
thanks very much!
