I had a system with a colony cost 0 world in a binary system but it was far far away. Also had a few potential sites as well which were 2.1 and 2.9. Never actually ventured out there to see if it had anything. Would have been hilarious if a NPR was unlucky to spawn there.
BrianExactly right. the LPs do make it much faster to move between far distant parts of the system. I have had a few where there was no gas giant with one part of the binary or trinary and that left it way seperated in travel time from the other parts of the system. To do this right you may need to use the sm functions and create a lot of systems to find the one you want.
You mention gas giants as a quick way between stars, is this due to the presence of LPs or am I missing something here?
