| Soooo... i tried to make the biggest galaxy in the universe (aprox. 2 Mega parsecs diameter)
Custom texture and model but i seem to have a small problem... when i get into the humongous galaxy the stars are separated by hundreds of parsecs from one another and i was wandering if there is a way to fix it without reducing the size of the galaxy...

No
Also, I thought the largest galaxy was IC 1101, which is already in SE?

Here i wanted to make a fictional biggest galaxy in the universe not the biggest galaxy discovered in reality...
And IC 1101 suffers the same bug as the Rastra galaxy - Stars every hundred parsecs or so - ...

| SE can't handle such big galaxies directly, so it made a cheat and reduce the density of stars.

| First, amazing thanks for this amazing program, which I've already been using for some time for my sci-fi star mapping.
How can I go about creating a fictional galaxy that looks realistic and not "painted", while still being able to separate the different images. I've previously made attempts to use Photoshop to create a render of a galaxy, but they didn't look that realistic. And I think by taking images of different galaxies and blending them won't look correct.
I've looked at this tutorial course for SideFX Houdini that shows you how to create a pretty realistic galaxy. Excluding the starfield and animation, if you would render this top down and with different layers of the stars and dust, could this create a galaxy realistic enough so it doesn't look out of place between the real galaxies?

| Question: Does SE use the custom models as the base for the distribution of all stars in that galaxy, or just the blue stars? Added (15.12.2014, 01:42)
---------------------------------------------
Also, does adding too many custom galaxy models mess up the procedural generator? Because when I added a second galaxy model after my first custom model, I noticed the saved locations were suddenly obsolete, and as some of the bookmarks would just not work, while others would link to an entirely different system with the same name, multiple megaparsecs away from the original location.

Blue stars. Red and yellow dwarfs do not noticeably follow the spiral structure.

Yes if you add a galaxy, the Milky Way may change its internal number from 8404 to something else, so a star called RS 8408-xxx may change its name and saved location will point on a star in another galaxy. You may repair locations by figuring out the new number of the Milky Way and editing the places.cfg.

Gotcha. I went ahead and experimented a bit, and I figured out that when a new galaxy is added, the number SE gives it is sometimes taken from another, existing catalog galaxy, pushing the numbers of that galaxy and all the numbers for the galaxies after that number are bumped up by one. So if the MW previously had 8404-xxxx, and a new galaxy is inserted that has a number below 8404, MW would then thereafter have 8405-xxxx, and so forth. I don't think procedural galaxies are affected, but I could be wrong. 
Thanks for the help!

| Guys one question: How i can make a galaxy with disk size 100% bulge 5% from a Sb?? because in models is set up to 20%. I try to decrease it to 5% or 8% and instant bug i cant see the galaxy just the bulge.
I just want to expand the arms of the galaxy or like i said decrease the bulge. Thakçnks.

| If i make own Nebula, why emParticleColor, absParticleColor and bParticleColor not work? If i made for example:
Nebula "Example Nebula"
{
Galaxy "Milky Way"
Type "Diffuse"
RA -69 45 53.45
Dec 10 38 27.72
Dist 0
Radius 25
AbsMagn -4.2
Quat ( 0.147, 0.-0.566, 0.699, 0.412 )
emParticleColor (1.00, 1.00, 0.00)
absParticleColor (0.00, 1.00, 0.00)
bParticleColor (1.00, 0.00, 1.00)
}

| Timo3681, those parameters go into the nebula model file, not the catalog file. You use those when creating a nebula model.
