How much work would it be to create an SH4 almanac? I'm assuming a very large amount of time and effort. That would be perfect though to have charts that correctly stated the various (incorrect) positions of celestial objects as rendered in SH4. It is easy to change the relative sizes of the sun and moon so that they are the same, aswell as the correct relative size in degrees, I don't know how to alter phases atm but that would be all you'd need for realistic navigation. I personally wouldn't know where to start on such an ambitious project, but I'd be willing to help out if someone started it off. That would absolutely complete the game for me, anyway. I could never get on with using external programs to render the night sky to do nav calculations.
