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.
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)
This one's pretty bad, too:
Orbital period: 600,000 years. Winter would be pretty depressing. Waiting 150,000 years until spring?
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.
