I don't think we're wedded to the idea there must be current planetary configuration in Sirius. It would be nice with inhabited worlds in Sirius, if possible, or a space station. Really good that you're doing some custom system (and testing out using System Editor, please report bugs & strangene...

No, as you've no doubt noticed there's plenty of obsolete code examples on the wiki, because we've changed how things are done, how modules are imported, etc. However, the code that pioneer runs on is always valid (ehum, except when there's bugs in them). Either way, it's good to point a reader to m...

Btw, wiki code examples and such will sooner or later become obsolete.

I'd advice to add to the modding wiki, to encourage the student to look at simple modules we have, like the Advice module, 100 lines of code. then look at DonateToCranks for some menu interactions, and DeliverPackage for missions.

how about a counter: "number of shots fired", using onShipFired

We have onGameStart, and plenty of other, like onShipFiring, see list of all events in margin here:

You could just add a note (and test that it is true): message will be shown next time player initiates docking / landing.

This is not just an artifact of "onShipDocked" event not being triggered if starting a new game with ship already docked? (I beleive that change was made "recently")

Anyway, I applaude the effort of bringing the wiki more up to date
