Re: Wow...

Jeesh...took you guys long enough...

Actually, I noticed straight away. I was stating my surprise that no one else did.

It gets vary cold at night in the desert. If you think about it a planet with two suns would get even colder than one with only one. IE hotter in the day than at night. BTW Hoth should have the breath thing because it was there in the movie. You just had to look for it. Also any chance of tarrian spacific effects for Blasters?

I mean a blaster shooting watter should make a nice big splash, but also a blaster shooting snow should be a tall pop of well snow, but still have core of the explosion at the bottom. IE thats what you see in the movies. Also will blasters have splash damage? it dose not need to be much but a little bit might help make them even more deadly.

Actually, assuming that the planet orbits both sons in a figure of eight, it should be day constantly for about half the year and a normal day/night cycle the other half.

Re: Wow...

actually a laser hitting water would cause steam
while a laser hitting snow would make water.which for some reason i doubt the could make hoth into a giant water planet tongue

Now... picture the deathstar blowing Hoth up, so that means you'd get a giant waterblob in space? tongue

I just kinda lolled at the thought.

It would be significantly more complex than that actually.

However, its also practically impossible such an orbit would be stable (due to the necessity of passing through the L1 Lagrange point of the two stars, and there actually being some kind of mechanic for the planet to 'swap' orbits there).

It is far more likely than the planet would orbit the larger of the two stars, or the centre of gravity for both stars together.

But it is possible.

I read theres something in the magnitude of sextillions of stars out there and, after reading 'Death by Black Hole', he pointed out - not about binary systems - but because of the incredible number of stars out there even something that is incredibly rare as that, there may very well be thousands of stars that do have that characteristic, even though we may very well never discover a system like that. Unless it's in a galaxy far, far away...

And maybe it has Tusken raiders and Jedi farmboys. big_smile
