	During some random drifting last night, I came upon the Trillian system (okay, so it wasn't so Random after all ). What surprised me were the humongous number of planets in this system: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/Snake101/00000002.gif http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/Snake101/00000008.gif Is this actually a possibility, or simply a bug in NICE?

	It is possible.. Set those planets as the local target: you'll see that they're all moons, orbiting a single planet. Let me guess, you have the radiation limiter on, and you were approaching 'Trillian' from the bottom (err)... right?

	Well, yes I did have radiation limit on, but I approached it two times from two different angles. I made the second shot at a later time from a different angle to show the amount of planets/moons more clearly. PS. I knew most of em were moons, I just found it odd there were so many of em

whoosh

	I never have saw something like that before. May'be there are 42 moons. I like those pictures, Snakey

	Ive count them, there are 20(or 21) moons. It's not such an outrageous number, after all. I wonder, what kind of star is Trillian? If it's an S09, that shouldn't be something so strange...

Yep, it's an S09. So it's not such a random occurence? Hm. Oh well. Still looks nice

sun + black hole = fwoosh!

	BTW, 20 is the maximum number of moons that a planet can have. Nice find! P.S. 20 is also the maximum number of planets that a star can have, but each system can only have 80 planets, so you can't find 20 planets with 20 moons each. Why? Memory limits, probably. 20 planets with 20 moons each would be 420 bodies.

whoosh

	hmmm, can you explain me that calculation? My calculator tells me that 20 * 20 = 400. But it is possible that my calculator has it wrong. Edit: How wait, it is a sort of trick question (I was always bad in this sort of thing at school). I forget to count the planets. My mistake, sorry for the nitpicking.

	That's 20 planets + 20 lots of 20 moons. That's 420
