ecosystems are directly dependent on the one way flow of energy into them from the sun to support life...there are a few instances of life without sun near heat vents and such but still a one way flow of energy and the earths core would cool if it were too much farther from the sun....sooo i assumed that even the farthest planets in the game werent beyond jupiter and not beyond saturn at the most by this it would not be an accurate graphic but if the solar systems in the game, despite the fact that even the farthest planets can support life, can in fact encompass pluto's orbit im sorry about my rant about the inaccuracies of the graphic but i now have to rant about the inaccuracies of the star graphic which is now faaaaaaaaaarrrrrrr too large (1000s of times our suns own mass and volume and too large to support itself making it a blackhole or very near to it)so some graphic is wrong....

narf poit made good point about centriFugal force (someone said Centripetal and thats the opposite) not being a good artificial gravity...but he said that jumping would bring you back to the outside but Narf you were right to begin with because the rule about matter continuing in the same speed and direction would be negated by the jump if you had enough strength to jump from the centrifugal force then you turned the speed and direction around and you would float away from the "ground" which points out that this type of artificial gravity would not support a thick enough atmosphere because air is not dense enough to be significantly affected by centrifugal force..try spinning a balloon around really fast and see if it follows the same course as say a balloon of water...soo if this were the method of gravity it would be more than 1G if you wanted to breathe...

nother importante questione!! if you can move all the matter in many solar systems to cover a star why not sift out all those resources on the way... i can see getting lots of radiactives(energy from sun) or organics (grow real well if they can handle the constant sun) but minerals c'mon you built the place for god's sake!!!!
