Do you want to simulate the orbit of a body based on its position and velocity? Do you just want to plot random orbits? In which case it would be easier to base it on eccentricity and period.
Can the orbits change and what sort of events...
That's a great point. Thanks for the input.
When I update the velocity of the fluid due to gravity, I will first apply it to adjacent cells from the center of the cells. Then I will apply it individually between the center of nearby stars to the center of the cell.
I also forgot to mention...
There are three types of resources: light elements, heavy elements, and exotic elements. These elements are used in creating ships, defences, infrastructure, and a small amount is used in research. You can mine them yourself or give permission for others to mine from your star as well. You can...

Let me start by saying I do not have a lot of background in linear algebra, but I'm not afraid of learning. I am working on a flash animation with action script. That does the following:
1. Start with a point.
2. Add width so it turns into a line.
3. Rotate about the x-y plane 360 deg.
4...
