StarNES: Updates Without Number (Epoch I)

[thomas.berubeg]

Wait, that Nebulla is protecting them?


And: The decapitated Hexes at the bottom of the screen?

Edit: If it's the Gaian planets thing, i'm going to be SO upset. Those are MINE!

 

[nutranurse]

Nope to Gem Hound, and you only get one guess per turn, thomas! (But no to that guess as well).

Hey,

Blaze Injun: 41GC¤ (20+18+3)

41 Gc
20 Gc Star: Genishia Hex 0419
21
10 Gc 1 Medium Gas Planet Hex 0419
11
05 GC for Small Terrestrial Planet Hex 0420 Nin Frauling
06
06 Gc for 1 Medium Asteroid Field Hex 0420 Nin Frauling
00

Favorite aspect? Nin Frauling of course. Wormhole, Nebulae and a Medium Gaia Plant.

Awesome, that bumps the chance of sending a planet at my star system by quite a bit. Now its 28.7% with a 14.3% chance of it ending up next to or in my system.

If a planet becomes a super comet, and it misses a planet, does it continue through the system, or does it just disappear?

Continues through the system till it either hits something or goes out of the galaxy.

Nope @ Blaze Injun

edit:

((I originally meant for those % chances for blue and red stars))

Oh. Huh. Well, having two sets of chances seems like a bit much and given the planets I've plopped down this turn I'm not all that upset about the %'s! Gaian & Habitable planets are now really special!

@nutranurse

The nebula-and-star background

............................

Have 56GC¤ at the beginning of this update.

In hex 2215:
Place Binary Star named Palanitra for 50GC¤:
Place Medium Asteroid Field for 6GC¤.

Have 0GC¤ left over at the end of this update.

 

[nutranurse]

@theDright: Nope!

 

[TerrisH]

hmm, bank everything this turn.

 

[nutranurse]

So Blaze Injun brought up an interesting idea and I'm posting it here for public digestion: if a large gas giant is hit by a comet then there is a small (5% chance) that it stimulates it enough to cause it to become a brown dwarf.

Now here are my additions:
This in turn has a chance to form a new small terrestrial planet (10% chance) and/or disrupt the orbit of nearby smaller planets, causing varying degrees (1-10 chance of catastrophic changes; 11-25 of major-bad changes; 26-50 of minor-bad changes; 51-95 of no changes; 96-99 for minor-good changes; 100 for major-good changes).

What do you think? For the bad/good changes I am thinking pulling/pushing planets out of/into habitable zones, scattering asteroids about, messing around with moons, etc.

 

[theDright]

Make the brown dwarf formation disruption of other planets be completely symmetrical. So that you have the same percentages of *adjective*-bad and *adjective*-good for your percentile.

Off-topic: How many more orders you need for NutraNESIV.6?

 

[nutranurse]

Symmetrical sounds good/fair.

Offtopic: 7/14, halfway there!

 

[Double A]

I want one of these.

 

[Tecknojock]

IT seems a bit odd that a comet would do that. Brown Dwarfs are generally identified by mass and minor fusion activity. If you going to do that, I'd think that only rogue planets might cause a large enough mass increase.

 

[nutranurse]

Yeah, I might add the chance for supernova to create neutron stars and for white dwarves to potentially form planets overtime. Or something.

Well, the problem here is what are the chances of this happening? Then again such an event should be appropriately rare.

 

[Tecknojock]

Stars that go supernova should leave behind a Neutron Star, with a chance of the Neutron star being a pulsar.

Dude the game has Space Monsters. Why not 5% chance a comet creates a brown dwarf that has a effect on its system.

Now, should I make it a chance to leave behind a nebula or neutron star? Like 50/50?

 

[Tecknojock]

That sounds like a good plan. and perhaps a 1/5 chance of a neutron star being a pulsar.

Also, perhaps rogue planets traveling though a nebula might gain enough mass to become a brown dwarf.

You might add a chance that a commet becomes a moon as well.

Welp I've got a slew of new rules to put in for next turn! And yeah, comets already have a chance to become moons (such was the case in Ender). Admittedly this is undocumented, so I guess I should just put it out there for the sake of player-moderator clarity.

 

[Tecknojock]

Can binary stars be aged independently? That would be the most probable way to get AA's system.

Also, perhaps Rogue Brown dwarfs should have a slot or 2. There are a couple of cases of them having planets.
