Yup Big smile

My favourite is the Pulsar system. It looks so nice...


You're missing the big picture. Lore wise, all systems that have a stargate are binary,

Check out how accretion disks work in stellar lifecycles, Jupiter is at the optimal spot for the formation of a sister star, just in this case there wasn't enough mass, or maybe some event disrupted the accretion back when giant terrestrials were all smashing each other up and dragging gas into their gravity well.
Or just be sarcastic and lame, it really is your call.

Speaking of eve not following science


You bet EVE doesn't follow science. And be grateful it doesn't! If it did follow science, you'd be lucky to train maybe two dozen skills in 20+ REAL LIFE years. Inter solar system communications would be horrendous. It takes over 8 minutes to transmit communications 1AU. Forget about inter region.
Best of all, you'd only get one shot at dying in EVE. Growing a new clone for how many times some people get podded? There is no growth hormones that can make that many clones that fast. Much less transfer all the person's information across regions to be uploaded at the medical stations (see information transfer times as noted in the previous paragraph).
Since this thread is about suns - warp to 0 for the sun? Ummm, yea, salvagers would love it, while they bitched at CCP that they didn't have enough slots for additional thermal resistance mods, in order to stick around close enough to the suns for their salvagers to cycle.
The list goes on.
Be very grateful that EVE is a GAME and only sparsely like real-life. The majority of players' ADD would never convince them to pay monthly subscriptions for a real-life game.

wormhole space has lots of systems with two or even three stars, or even a black hole. But they're all just backdrops with system effects, you can't warp to them.

Perhaps stargates can only work on non-binary star systems? It's not a stretch to say that TWO moving sources of mass the size of a star would interfere with the space distorting effects of a stargate.


Actually it's the other way around star gates require binary systems to operate.


This. Every system you can jump into is a binary system.

I remember coming across a wormhole that had a binary star system. One dwarfed the other, but I couldn't warp to it.

A lot of (most?) wormhole systems have companions that produce system-wide environmental effects that change certain ship and weapon attributes. You can tell which type by the graphic. There are six different types, which change different attributes, and six different levels for each type, which indicates the strength of the effect.

A class 6 black hole system, for example, doubles both ship velocity and inertia, and halves missile velocity, turret optimal and falloff, and drone control range. You'll be able to fly twice as fast, but you'll be half as agile, and your weapons will have significantly reduced ranges.

My idea for a fleet combat alt's name is:

EveryoneWarp TotheSun

So when he's primaried by the enemy FC, he'll lose half his fleet as they all warp away.

Using lightspeed media like radio waves or even light maybe.
Read this cool thing back when science-fiction actually was SCIENCE fiction about a Dirac transponder. Seems when you move something on your desk the fact you did so is true throughout the universe, instantly. It might take 8 minutes for someone with a light receptor to form an image of that fact, but facts are instantaneously true everywhere the moment they occur.
Something to do with the universe being a single thing, infinite but also closed.

This seems rather unscientific. Information cannot travel faster than the speed of light.

Our own solar system, IRL, is strongly suspected to be binary, based on new evidence. But the second star is so small, and so close to the main star, that it isn't exactly visible, if, indeed, it is there, at all.


Being an amateur astronomer myself, i'd REALLY like the source of that claim!


Hardly new, the theory of Earth's twin dward star 'Nemesis' has been around since the mid-80's

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nemesis_%28hypothetical_star%29

It's postulated to be a brown dwarf somewhere out in the Oort cloud.. It's a pretty weak theory however.

We fly bumper-car ships through space fluid. You can hardly expect CCP to adhere to scientific findings.

That said, a binary system would be pretty cool. I don't suspect it would be tremendously difficult to throw some in.

It's too obvious that it's fake.

Yeah the claims by new-ager/hippy types that you can communicate with the EPR quantum entanglement seem to ignore some basic facts about the formalism that are a bit to complex to go into here.

Basically all that came out of experiments around the old EPR stuff and Bell inequality was proof the universe is not "localised" and that it is all interconnected in some freaky almost Buddhist fashion. There seems no way to some how brute force that effect to allow communication.

More interesting is Richard Feynman's proposal that the universe could theoretically consist of one electron going backward and forward in time, manifesting as an electron in one direction and a positron the other way.

Technically speaking, w-space systems can have 2 stars.

The primary star is seperate from the pulsar, and we all know pulsars are just another kind of star.
