 July 28, 2012 - 7:51pm | Hey everyone. What's the deal with Binary Stars? I don't see any canon module settings in a binary system. The only time I hear anything about them is in homebrew situations. Are they death to ships? Can you jump near them or to them without issues? Can they have habitably planets in their systems? |
 July 29, 2012 - 1:53am | I think they would have gotten to it if they had continued to support SF. But there is no reason you could not have habitable planets in a binary system. TerlObar might have some good insight to this. I have seen in a lot of sci-fi stories, Binary systems. The planets just have to be in the right orbit for life if you want it habitable. |
 July 29, 2012 - 5:54am | Couple of things with binary stars- You can have a close companion where the second star is in close orbit and any planets orbit both stars or you can have a distant companion where both stars could have thier own planets Could conceivably have a trinary system with a close and distant companion I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
