Yeah, I want to make a plugin that enhance the OrbitLoader, but I don't know if I can

It would be really nice if it could provide some basic information like star luminosity.

It just came to my mind, that for example a sun flare is not rendered when mirrored in a chrome surface ...
Could this be made possible by such an API?

An API might no longer be needed if you access the Kopernicus files directly. For myself, I have now created a helper class which retrieves all stars relative luminosities.

since there is a talk about APIs, I am working on a mod that will require me to hijack the LoadOnDemand system

now it works like this (roughly):

1- A planet becomes visible
2- Kopernicus triggers OnDemand
3- OnDemand Loads the Texture
4- Kopernicus applies the Texture

Ideally I want to insert myself like this:

1- A planet becomes visible
2- My mod decides which Texture(s) to load and triggers OnDemand
3- OnDemand Loads the Texture(s)
4- My mod processes the Texture(s)
5- Kopernicus (or my mod) applies the final Texture
