Re: Where better to start
That is one way of approaching this. But with Atos being size of Sun, we can use all those funny theorems like "the ratio of orbital periods of two planets in one system squared is equal to ratio of orbit radiuses of those two planets, cubed". I believe those make sense with other stars, but for reality's sake, I won't be just guessing.

I agree we should have Atos be a mirror of Sol. This simplifies the base mathematics from which everything else is going to rely.

Re: Where better to start
When it's not midnight, I'll see if I can work it out with the data that already exists

Re: Where better to start
That was the info you gave out when people were asking about Time Zonespawelabrams wrote:Which one? You have Shirerithian one (although they use ASC 1 day = 1 year!), and you can still invent your own. Here are the necessary data: 650.1311 Earth Days / 555.9996 Micras Days (taken from: http://micras.org/wiki/index.php?title=Micras )Joseph Puglisi wrote:Hmm... can someone link me to the said calendar?
The calculations required are mostly pretty simple, we can work out the mass of Atos from the info already given. I think we should stick with what we have still.
