A binary Solar System..., is it possible?

from Sins Forums

I have a simple question:

I want to make a map that has a binary solar system (with two stars), using Galaxy Forge. I know that it is possible, but, would there be any compatibility issue on the game?
Thank you very much.

I guess it depends what you mean by "Solar System". The game my default will give every star it's own solar system, but this doesn't really effect gameplay other than you can't prevent players from traveling from one star to another unless you don't give either star phase lanes. In some mods however there are stars that the game classifies as planets, so these won't have that problem.

The 7 Deadly Sins mod has the ability to have planet-classified stars, so you could have a binary style solar system.  I think there might be others, but I can't think of them at the moment.

we can do it with the Distant Stars Mod as well, same concept

I know that a binary system has no special effect, but I want to join the planets of a star with planets of the second star, as if all the planets were in a single solar system. I do not want my ships move from one solar system to the second solar system only through a star to another star.

oh that is easy, just put in a phase line between the planets that you want to connect

it even works across Star Gravwells

For example see Kingdom of Heaven map for Distant Stars.

Then, this does not create problems within the game, right?
Another minor problem is that space funds are different in a solar system and in another, and that does not look good. But it can be configured in Options, I think.

Well, it was just that. Now I can start making my map.
Many thanks to all. You really helped me. |-)
