Prospective Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Has anyone found a system where each orbit consists of asteroid fields? I came across one recently and I thought it was strange because typically if it is not a Nexus system, there are at least a planet or two or a moon, not just asteroid fields. I have never seen another system like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKO Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 I haven't seen a system like this yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumeria Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 We have seen 3-4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TErnest Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 I found one such system. Four asteroid belts, and nothing else. The "star" in the system is a White Hole, which might go some distance to explaining the situation. Radiation on most of those asteroid belts is a problem, especially for the ones closer in. For the rest of you who have found systems with multiple orbits, all populated only by asteroids, do those systems display any other unusual features?

Prospective Posted December 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Lumeria, Did you do any investigation (GEO,ORB,CSV,PMAP) in any/all of these 3-4 systems? Was there anything interesting about it or was it just a typical system that is made up of only asteroid fields? I'm hoping that there is something cool about this system. Maybe some good EXPL finds or something like that. Did you do any EXPL there? If yes, any improved results? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked to me like such a system should be furtile ground for scientific exploration. Alas, the results showed nothing special. No worse than usual, mind you, but no better either.

Prospective Posted December 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 TErnest, Thanks for the info. I had intended to focus on that system to conduct EXPL's at... however now I'm not so sure. That is disappointing news indeed, I really hoped that it would be quite the treasurehouse since it was such a wierd system. O well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TErnest Did you mean 'fertile' or 'futile'? Inquiring minds want to know. I've found one system with 9 asteroids belts, and only asteroid belts, in "weak space," whatever that means. (Here is where Locklyn jumps in and goes: 'Ah, weak space, very interesting research results.') As with TErnest, it's a white hole. The system is too far from anything for me to send explorers.

Prospective Posted December 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 The system I found has 5 asteroid fields and is also around a White Hole... seems like a trend here. It is not in "weak space" however. I wonder what a White Hole has to do with creating only asteroid fields, and if there is any game significance to this. Ok, here's another question. Has anyone ever found a planet/asteroid/moon orbiting a Black Hole, Neutron Star, Supernova, RR Lyrae Variable, Type I or II Cephid Variable, or UV Ceti Flare type star? All these seem like they might have something interesting about them but all I have found are Nexus systems, never a planet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SargonKingOfSlith Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Jaeson is a system with 4 Deep Red stars and 3 Asteroid Fields. Lyndon is a system with 4 Red stars, 2 Asteroid Fields, 3 Gas Giants and a Frozen Rockball way out. Carneades is a black hole with no orbits. (The starting point for the Slith Odyssey) I don't have fleets doing EXPL missions in any of them yet. So I don't if there are any special results there. But I believe these are a very good place to have a pop group with the Science installations. Does anyone know how to build a Ringworld yet? The first one to Carneades wins the prize!

hobknob Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Alas, it is much more difficult than just getting the Ringworld construction tech completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume it's a logistical nightmare as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inngothian Hold Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Yes...the Inngothian Hold is still out there. Thought I'd chime in on this one. We've run across 5 systems that contain asteroids only. 1 - A single star 2 - A White Hole 1 - A Quaternary System 1 - A Binary Star System Haven't explored them so I can't say if there's anything interesting to find in these systems or not.

Lumeria Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 We have found a Protostar with 6 worlds and a White Hole with only 6 asteroid belts. Curious indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-t-akua Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 I have only one system so far that consist only of asteroid belts. It is Pulsar. It could just be that the algorithm for creating planets in a system only allows Asteroids for certain types of stars. As for the other questions about Neutron Stars, etc., I have yet to see a planet in any of those types of systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
