Well, Then.

41GC:

Star Chrystosen in 2007
20 GC - Star
10 GC - Chrystosen I: Medium Terrestrial
10 GC - Chrystosen II and III: two Small terrestrials orbiting each other.

What hex does this star form in, Tambien?

edit:@thomas.berubeg- The two small planets orbiting each other does not make much sense, though that does not stop me from placing all three planets.
 
Have 32GC¤ at the beginning of this update.

In hex 0523, around Surnamir:
Place Small Terrestrial Planet for 5GC¤.
Place Medium Terrestrial Planet for 10GC¤.
Place Medium Asteroid Field for 6GC¤.

Have 11GC¤ left over at the end of this update.

Binary planetary systems are possible, though if they have similar masses they are likely to be tidally locked with each other (the same sides always face each other). They probably aren't entirely stable but given the right conditions, they could orbit each other for a very long time before either they escape or collide.
 
Pluto and Charon in our solar system is an example of a such a binary planet system. Most planetary systems of this type would probably be dwarf planets.
 
Just curious, Tecknojock, are you an astrophysics major or something?
 
Terrestrial planets larger than earth could do so, but it's unlikely for such things to form. The formation process for terrestrial planets generally precludes such systems from forming. I'm just going to stick with the method Asimov decided upon.
 
Oh, oh! I do know about Asimov. Great writer. I feel less dumb now.
 
No, I'm an Ocean Engineering major, but I took quite an interest in space before I failed to make it into my uni's Aerospace program.

@Dright, we're talking hand of god forming here :p That such a system could exist even if it couldn't form isn't necessarily relevant if everyone was willing to do a little hand waving.

He's doing 2 small planets though, so size shouldn't be much of a concern.
 
I was actually thinking two similarly sized planets, tidally locked.

Also, When do you decide the habitability of moons?

I'll decide the habitability of moons in Epoch II, and thanks to the discourse above your tidally locked planets exist!
 
@nutranurse
Yeah, Asimov did a lot of other writing, especially hard science too, but his fiction is awesome. Did you know that multiple star systems are much more likely than single star systems? That three star systems are supposed to be the most common type? I don't know if they would be the most common type for planets though...

@Tecknojock
Yeah, I know. I think we can get away with whatever nutra lets us get away with it at least. I should just save up until the end of Epoch I and make a system of like 5 stars or something.
 
Also, what happened to my GC, I am not in the update
 
and that's what I get for assuming similar density I guess.

Another wiki page put the mass limit at 1.4xJm so, assuming similar density I just used the sphere formula.
