Will the various systems have to obey the laws of orbital mechanics?That is, will a solar system's components be orbiting its sun?Therefore, if I leave a planet to do something off planet, will that planet will be somewhere else in its orbit when I want to return?asked by Kam

That's a good question, we've actually gone back and forth on that one. Originally we were thinking "it's cool, but maybe it's too much of a pain," for instance to always have to navigate back, is the planet still there or not?So initially, we were leaning against it, but we're now moving to a full double precision system map, which means that we can essentially cover millions and millions of kilometers, and in that system each entity, whether it's a planet, or a sun, or asteroid field, will have their own location, and we probably will be able to, if we want, orbit them around, then you would travel locally.But we haven't made a full decision whether planets are static or they're actually running on some orbital path. Although doing the orbital thing may be pretty cool. That's definitely something we're considering, before we were thinking we weren't doing it when we had a more fixed system map set up, and now our system map is on one fixed scale and had the ability to be more dynamic, we're reconsidering that. So no decision made, yet, but potentially it could happen.
