Annoying celestrial bug.
« on: March 18, 2007, 10:59:36 AM »
I see that the celestial constellation Orion, now rises in the NORTH on both late war arenas???  

As an amateur astronomer,  I know what the constellation Orion looks like, I also now that under no circumstances will Orion rise above the northern horizon.  When I see the constellation Orion rising above the horizon, I "KNOW" that direction is towards the East.  

When I'm in game, and I see Orion rising above the horizon, I assume that direction is East, but the map says its north, and my brain gets more confused than normal :rolleyes:

I only mention this, as I know at one point over the last few years, celestial navigation used to be accurate (and kind of useful).  Not so much now...

(I know, petty, pathetic bug report... )

Oh, its worse than that :)

In AH1, not only were the celestial objects in the right place, they were correct with respect to the current calender.  

Tonight, after sunset, Orion will be just west of the meridian.  In AH1, at sunset game time, Orion would also be just west of the meridian.  (I distinctly remember how impressed I was with the attention to detail! :p )

OK, back to geekdom...

Don't worry, this is coming from guys who sit naked in their mothers' basements building computers all day.
