 September 16, 2011 - 7:42pm | Started a thread on the Formad Cluster because of Iggy RE: http://www.starfrontiers.us/node/5688 I put it in a project so it would not get lost in the general forums. Its a collaborative thread with majority opinion controlling direction and goal being a nice write up for the zine or at least in the documents section so Frontiersman can use it. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |

Sounds like the zurraquor.I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
September 17, 2011 - 9:47am | I need to put together some N-body simulations to test out systems with. TerlObar is way ahead of me in this regard. -iggy |
 September 17, 2011 - 10:27am | Yes, I've got several fast N-body codes I can use. Dream up a system idea and I can run it through several million years of evolution fairly quickly to see how stable it is. I've also picked up one specifically for doing solar system formation simulations. Starting with 100 objects it ran through 1 billion years in about 3 days. So for doing stability tests of single star systems, I can crank them out pretty quick. Ad Astra Per Ardua!

 September 17, 2011 - 12:22pm | something like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RjesFB-o6o Can you get a three binary system stable over 1 billion years at a distance of 1-3 light years? Considering the range of potential concentric stabilites in that equation, and the scope of the distance variables, I expect it to be a rhetorical question. Has anyone figured out what to even call a system of the size and complexity being inferred from the cluster? A complex distant sextuple mulitplex, perhaps? Oh humans!!  We discover a galactic community filled with multiple species of aliens, and the first thing we think about is "how can we have sex with them?".~ anymoose, somewhere on the net... so... if you square a square it becomes a cube... if you square a cube does it become an octoid? |
