Cold Sun - Discussion

[MarcAFK]

Its crazy how nobody noticed how common tidal locking is untill you introduce a mechanic which depends on it :p

I'm just hoping that Steve's decision to pause this game and start looking at combat AI etc is because one of those recently explored systems is not as empty as it looks.

Tidal locking might not be as common place as thought:

Even a thin atmosphere can keep a planet spinning freely, giving it a day-and-night cycle like Earth’s, say astronomers in Canada and France. The result implies that many of the planets lying within the habitable zones of “dim suns” – the most common type of star – could have terrestrial-type climates.

Will the campaign resume soon?

The campaign will not be resuming at all, I think. Steve has moved on to other ones.
