Do you guys believe this moon could support life?

Who cares? It's a game, and we need more planets/continents/hexes to control.

If you want the game to be realistic within it's own context, just toss out some buzzwords and it makes everything all better. This one comes to mind...

Look here, better pic IMO.

New idea: That is an another giant and those two are a binary system .

Right, big planet? You mean absolutely colossal planet larger than a sun if I understand you right!

Instead of bitching about fucking moon environments that have nothing to do with the game go practice helicopter flying from an orginal bf2 box and then simply do the 45 minute shooting drills with an assault rifle, pistol, and shoot gun in yor current favorite fps. Those drills cover all the basics and help in any game.

Again, i hope this was all satire because if this is the kind of shit you people spend time on this game will be a joke once fps's start getting here in force.

Why would you interrupt our very nice philosophical discussion with a buch of shit about gunz and pwnage. Go back to your room and let the adults talk here.

No, then my pic was not clear enough

The two giant rotates around their common center of mass, and this double system goes around the sun. Earthlike and Auraxis is moons to one of the giants.


EDIT: In the drawing the distance to sun is not to scale.

What you fail to realize is every one on Auraxis is "dead".

Upon entering the wormhole the entire expedition fleet was destroyed and all the people were flung into a state of limbo. Auraxis is mearly a unified projection of those peoples desire (a place to live forever). The war that ensued is just a result of their consciousness's sub-consciousness fighting against itself and wanting the peace of true death.

Everything is a projection including the moon that "can't support life".

Thats a good argument

(I think it just looks very close in that shot as its sitting on the horizon.)

I'm fairly certain that that is the moon, not a gas giant. it moves around far too much.

It's called Thought experiment. And a small mental exercise is good for you.

You know, all that guns and helis exist only because a lot of men did practice those.

I don't see where these pictures invalidate the double planet idea.

[Canaris]

maybe Auraxis and those other planets are tidally locked in a similar orbit together in some beautiful yet randomly obscene planetary system ballet?

[MasterChief096]

Auraxis' core is pure Auraxium, giving it a strong magnetic field and high density which provides it with approximately .92 Earth gravity. Most of the solar wind and other cosmic radiation is deflected by the gas giant that Auraxis orbits.

The Terran planet that is visible was the first life-bearing body in the Vanu system. A cosmic collision elsewhere in the solar system flung a smaller Auraxis into the orbit of the gas giant. The gravity well of Auraxis pulled in smaller debris from the gas giant's asteroid disc, adding to the planetary mass. The life-bearing Terran planet's orbit was stressed by tidal forces from the new visitor Auraxis. Most life on the planet could not adapt to the newly found tidal forces as its orbital trajectory passed Auraxis, but collisions of debris from Auraxis' small accretion disc flung life-bearing meteorites and other organic material onto Auraxis' surfaces and oceans. The more adaptable microbes eventually diversified in their new environment and became the Vanu. The same microbes diversified on the Terran planet as well.

Every few hundred thousand years, the Terran planet and Auraxis share an orbit that offers viewers on Auraxis with the game's current view. For the rest of the time, the gas giant obscures the view of the planet. The Vanu advanced from stone-age to space-faring in less than seven thousand years. Vanu society was much like our own 21st century society, funds for space exploration were exceptionally scare, and then the Terran planet slid into view, the Vanu saw green surfaces, and space exploration flared.

Since both planetary biospheres originated from the same diversifying microbes, amino acids and genetic code was universal, much like here on earth. The key difference is the microbes on Auraxis diversified into organisms adapted for high gravity whereas the original life bearing body had organizes adapted for a low gravity environment. The Vanu quickly settled this Terran planet. Vanu "Astrogeologists" uncovered evidence that their origins in fact were tied to the Terran planet. Thus began the Vanu Golden Space Age.

Really tired, just offering an idea .

i guess the big announcement we are waiting for this week will be the following:

We are proud to announce that the planetside 2 team will get a new member!
please welcome stephen hawking to the team, he will make sure that every aspect of our gameworld will be explainable by actual space physics!
