That happens already. You will see planets in Aurora that orbit outside both stars of a binary.Quote from: "Steve Walmsley"Quote from: "Erik Luken"If the program determines that a shell is empty, the following planets do not get renumbered. As to why it leaves a shell empty, I have no idea.There are several reasons, including being within the roche limit, proximity to a second star in the system or a temperature too high for the planet to survive.

I saw a show a couple weeks back talking about planets around extrasolar systems. They posited that a planet might orbit both stars of a close binary. So we going to see that?
