Avoid the dwarf stars !!!!!!
They make your system all wobbly.

If your absence does not affect them, your presence didn't matter.

Who's concerned about score if you're just trying to avoid a cataclysmic event! :laugh:

Here is a stable system with a dwarf star in a wide orbit and eleven earth-like planets that orbit near the sun.

One of those 11 planets is bound to collide with another if you wait long enough!

It continued for over 250 years. Eventually one of the small planets crashed into the outer border (i.e. it was hurled out of the solar system).

Huh. We play this game every day for real om Highway 401 across the top of Toronto.
Instead of brown dwarfs we have white vans.
Instead of 5xEarths we use SUVs
Instead of ...
And we ALWAYS end up with some idiot crashing into a barrier :evilgrin:

That said, neat game. Now to waste away a few more days of my life in an activity that will gain me nothing :laugh:
