Binary stars
Brend » Thu Jun 07, 2012 12:52 pm
As I was working on the power checker and the new templates I discovered something: the binary stars are completely wonky.
As it stands now, the official way (not that anyone follows it) is to have a page with a data entry for the primary star, and to have pages without data entries for the secondary stars. As it is now, everyone with a binary star has a double data entry. Double data entries trip up a lot of tools, as the tool can't see the difference between the primary and secondary entry.
As a binary star is exactly the same thing as a singular star (from a game mechanics point of view) I would like to ask everyone with a binary star system to remove the data entry from their secondary star. I would even advice to remove the secondary star page and describe the binary star as a whole on the primary star page.
I will be removing the 'Binary Partner' from the star template at the end of turn 54. Please update your pages accordingly.
