I did space studies, obviously PS didnt lol, look at this...

I'm gunna get you...

On a serious note...

*sigh*.. can we stop the flaming and let this thread die now?

This is the most hillarous fourm ever, I love you all
Sept for slapnut ;D

If you want to be scientific, the planet could be the size of a marble yet still have enough mass to have much larger, but less-dense moons orbiting it. You'd just need some never-heard-of really dense material. :-)

Take our moon for example. It's approx 1/3rd the earth's size, iirc, but its mass is only 1/6th of the earth's. It has a much lower density.

The material a nuetron star is composed of is possibly denser than that since the entire thing is made completely out of the nuclei of atoms.

I find it best in general that if you don't really know what you are talking about, to not say anything at all. Flaunting ignorance is not a trait to be admired.

when i mean super nova, i mean like light years away, but u can still se it

Light years, more than one. Did you happen to catch in your space studies just how large a light year is? A little under 6 TRILLION miles. In order for the explosion to have horizon-to-horizon visibility on a planetary body, the event would need to take place substantially closer than multiple light years. Hell, it might even need to be in the same solar system...and again, the radiation from the event would kill every living thing. The blast wave of emerging particles would probably be enough to sunder large portions of the planet's crust and cause it to collapse.

Also, think about how small the planet is, it like a 50th the size of mercury

Mercury has a diameter of 4220 kilometers. That would make Auraxis 84.4 kilometers across, or about 55 miles. In order for a "planetary" body of that size to have enough gravity to maintain an atmosphere, the entire inner core would need to be composed of irridium or some other super-dense rare earth element. This is unlikely to the point of absurdity...and is directly contradicted by the game itself. No planetary body of that size could have as many different climates as Auruxis does. Most of the surface area is covered in water. It is seismicly active.

infact Saturn (gas planet) is also swelling at the equater due to all its rings

The earth bulges in the middle. It is not spherical. Lots of reasons for it, the fact that it spins and gravitational influence from the moon being the two largest. Saturn, while composed largely of gas, has long been known to have a solid planetary body underneath. It weighs too much to be made entirely of gas. Yes, the rings around the planet pull on the atmosphere and cause it to bulge. The effect is identical to how our moon generates oceanic tides. How this relates to Auraxis, I have no idea.

There are all kinds of plausible reasons why the apparent game world is smaller than it should be. Perhaps the 10 island continents are the only land masses that are available. Xenobiologists have long theorized that the Earth is very dry for a water planet (and we have 70% ocean coverage), perhaps Auraxis fits more into the general mold. If the area where the continents are located is the only spot where lava pushes to the surface, it would explain why land only exists in those locations. It also accounts for the fact that the warp gate system doesn't loop around to the opposite side like you might expect it to, if the maps we've seen in screenshots represented the entire planetary surface. It could be that the water areas of the map are artificially reduced for the sake of fitting the map into a visible area. The continents might be seperated by hundreds (or thousands) of miles, but that empty ocean area is not shown for the sake of simplicity.

You simply don't know, and in the absence of knowing, making wild proclamations about how unrealistic the world is delves into whole new realms of sillyness.

i probably shouldn't have to remind everyone that this is a game

What's That Rusty robot talking about?

[Saethan]

'Game'? What is this 'game' you speak of?

[SlapNut]

gee you yanks are stupider than i thought, everything u said was true, thats exactly what i said but reworded, geology is my favorite subject, and my geology teacher told me the same stuff as yours but in different words, so who cares, and btw i think i can tell when a moon is shining through a cloud or not, and this on definatly wasnt, now nobody else reply please, its stupid.

[Matuse]

gee you yanks are stupider than i thought

And you limeys are too prideful/arrogant/stupid to admit when you are wrong, and to back out with grace.

Amen.

And it's threads like these that make me grin.

Okay, please excuse this rant, but these kinds of posts really piss me off. "You're stupid, now nobody else reply so I can get the last word." Um, no.
Everything we said was true, yes, but it was not what you said reworded. It was what you said, except correct. Don't try to say, "Oh, geology is my favorite subject so I must know what I'm talking about." That is utter bullshit.
Perhaps you could link me to the picture you were actually referring to? See, your original picture was broken, so I had to go look for myself. I didn't see any magical subatmospheric moons, though.

And finally, the part that really got my goat. "You yanks"? First of all, you have no clue what my nationality is. I could be English, for all you know; I certainly seem to know the language better. I do happen to be a Yank, but at least I have the good manners to not go about making broad generalizations about people that I could not possibly have a clue about. That's all I have to say to you.

To everyone else, sorry about that.

There's this thing called a beta...that means the game is not complete...maybe that is why...or maybe you're just nitpicking for the sake of nitpicking.
