Oh, that is a pretty good homeworld then! How is the moon's resources? And it looks like the D component is pretty close too. . .Eh, it's not as spectacular on its own. Tons of duranium, mostly. The other planets in C have a lot of resources, though.
Duranium 72,649,460 Acc: 0. 6
Neutronium 345,744 Acc: 0. 1
Boronide 100,000 Acc: 0. 1
Corbomite 100,000 Acc: 0. 1
The D star is just. . . there. There's nothing orbiting it.
However, I'm going to have to restart the campaign -- there's simply no way I can cross the 2. 25 trillion km to the main.
No super jovians, no hyperdrive. Lots and lots of fuel would do it, I guess, but it would still eat up seven to ten years of just one-way travel time.

My current game's homeworld (and this is a colossally stupid thing to do, as I've noted in the other thread) is situated on the third star of a quaternary system.
Orbital distance (C to A) 15200 AU, for a 1. 5 million year orbit.
Huge resources on this planet, though, which is why I had to be here.

« on: January 05, 2012, 03:15:07 PM »In my current game, Sol is pretty empty, though that makes for an interesting resource crisis. However, one jump away is a system with around five planets that have 20+ million for resources as .1-.3 accessability, though none of them have all 11.I recently bought something on steam called universe sandbox. It was a few quid so I figured why not. You saying this makes me want to generate some of my aurora systems in it, just to see what they'd be like.
I've also had a system where there were a few extreme outlying planets. Granted, it was also a trinary system and the star in question had something like 2 asteroid belts and eight planets before those two, but still...
(It was the most interesting system I ever generated, so much so that I tried to set it up in a gravity simulator. All 3 stars had planets and the orbits of the companions were inside the "inner system" of the primary)

« on: December 17, 2011, 04:33:33 PM »Yeah, I rarely get minerals on both planets. Usually Mars is utterly empty. I typically spawn a ruin there just to give me a reason to colonise the bloody place.

« on: December 17, 2011, 02:49:19 PM »Here's my survey of Venus.
Venus
Duranium 58,223,420 Acc: 1
Corbomite 14,604 Acc: 0. 1
Boronide 8,290,680 Acc: 0. 3
Uridium 5,860,198 Acc: 0. 1
Tritanium 99,953 Acc: 0. 1
I guess this makes up for Mars not having any minerals. . . aside from:
Mars
Mercassium 18,496 Acc: 0. 4
That's after a Team geological survey there.

« on: November 24, 2011, 06:24:34 PM »This one's pretty bad, too:
Orbital period: 600,000 years. Winter would be pretty depressing. Waiting 150,000 years until spring?
I'm guessing you wouldn't be able to tell a difference between between summer and winter

« on: November 24, 2011, 01:01:16 PM »This one's pretty bad, too:I was thinking about waiting for the Langrangian Point of the 600bil one (a gas giant) to come close to the 800 bil one so I could jump to it relatively quickly. Then I realised that for them to do that will take about 100,000 - 120,000 years.
