That's interesting to know. This is my first game without known stars. I seem to be very unlucky on habitable worlds though.

I was just wondering if anyone has had a system with more extreme dimensions, I thought I was mistaken when I was zooming out for so long without seeing another star. Having a legrange point from the inner system was lucky. Unfortunately there is only one colonisable world there.



Quite a few times.

For example: http://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php?topic=11957.0

Whilst the two systems are only around 140b KM apart, the asteroid belt from one end to the other is just over 290b KM. Whilst that example is of a custom system, I didn't specify the exact size/dimensions of the belt that was all down freeform by the generation algorithm, and the game created the binary and distances itself.

Typically you'll run into such cases a lot more frequently when playing with Known Stars disabled and let the system generation just dip freely into the range of possibilities.

I have definitely had a 200bn binary before. I had to get a lagrange stabilizer to create a lagrange point in the secondaries realm. Tankers and fuel consumption tech is your friend.
