Restoring the MAS
Re: Restoring the MAS
...In addition there's already Tarsica to explore, and nobody is really doing anything about that. Ashkenatza is hoping in the long run (well, it's never been officially implemented as a long term aim) to fart some probes around the system.
Re: Restoring the MAS
Momiji (the actual name; Bill changed it to Glinos without any consent) was originally simply added as a secondary planet to Micras. This was put out before any of the other planets had been put into the system. The list of orbits was put together by Bill to reflect his Micron/Soloralist project he had briefly been working on, and we decided to adopt it without putting much research into it.
What I would suggest is that we adjust the list so that planets fall within proper orbits; this allows us to keep the names and planet types as they are.

Are you suggesting we kick Chrysos out into it's own orbit? I don't see anything wrong with that, although it gets rid of one of the unique features of the system.Ryan wrote:What I would suggest is that we adjust the list so that planets fall within proper orbits; this allows us to keep the names and planet types as they are.

Re: Restoring the MAS
Oh wait, Chrysos was the twin of Indigo? I thought the whole double-planet was called Indigo and the two were, like, Indigo I and Indigo II. And now you're telling me that an Earth-like planet was a thing considered a planet when it had a gas giant next to it?
We should definitely amend the orbits if that's how it worked

Re: Restoring the MAS
That's what the descriptions appear to suggest. If Indigo is just a binary planet, then we can keep it how it is

Re: Restoring the MAS
From the list stickied at the top of this board. Indigo is binary. Chrysos is a separate planetGas Giant- J
Temperat(earthlike)- M
Frozen(pluto like)- D
Double PLanet- W
Venus like- V
Mars like- A
...
4. W/M
5. J

Indigo is probably the only other easily habitable Planet in the Atos system, The main reasons for this being a very thick atmosphere only slightly higher than Micras's. In addition to this, it keeps far more heat in from Atos, allowing it, unlike its neighbor Pyros to remain somewhat temperate. Its temperatures in Comparison to Micras's however are still colder, and only near the equator does the climate become more inviting, being remniscent of The American Northeast Coast, with plenty of Rain, And huge forests of very tall trees. Indigo has a modest ocean in comparison to Micras, but has far fewer deserts, thanks mainly to its smaller size. The Pecularity of Indigo is that it along with Chrysos are part of a dual orbit, in which both Indigo and Chrysos Share. Both however are always on near opposite sides of Atos at all times of the year and only thanks to eclipses of the sun from Indigo's two moons: Plateau and Ivory, that Chrysos can be seen, and even in such a case it looks as Mercury and Venus do in the Early Morning on earth, being only a small star near the rising Atos.

Binary planet sharing orbit with gas giant. Dunno how likely it is but that's the situation, seejoefoxon wrote:Lewis wrote:Both however are always on near opposite sides of Atos at all times of the year

Re: Restoring the MAS
I think that's probably not possible.

Re: Restoring the MAS
Then again, how possible is it that humans inhabit another planet in a completely different system?

Re: Restoring the MAS
I think Chrysos would have to be a lot further out than Indigo, otherwise it's gracity would be too strong.

Re: Restoring the MAS
Well, if that's the case... it is quite possible, thanks to one of Kepler's laws which says that time of one revolution around the star is only based on the radius of the orbit. That location is also possible due to Indigo system being in one of the libration points of Chrysos then (although a weaker one than it would be being a 1/6 of revolution before or after its giant co-orbitant), having a similar situation to the Jupiter Trojans (although in L3 point rather than L5, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrangian_point ).
I would like to see a reliable scientific centre's explanation backstory then - that would be interesting!

Re: Restoring the MAS
Both Indigo and Chrysos, even if they were on opposite sides of Atos, should be visible from Micras anyway. I think the description should read
only thanks to eclipses of the sun from Indigo's two moons: Plateau and Ivory, that Chrysos can be seen from the Indigo system,

Re: Restoring the MAS
Yup, you're right I didn't notice it first time I read that, I thought we're already thinking from Indigo perspective.

Re: Restoring the MAS
Because we have seemingly two different ideas on how Indigo and Chrysos interact, we need to officially decide on one.
