Re: New stellar manipulation component idea
Maybe it should take multiple ships to move a planet.
Wouldn't moving a star bring the planets with it? Which also raises the question of what happens to any moons of the towed planet? I guess they would come too...
I think stars would be too big to move (not that planets are tiny things either, but stars are several orders of magnitude bigger.)
