Flung out planets

Yes, it happens in our Universe. When giant gas planet have an eliptical orbit, they may eject smaller planets in close orbit to their star, therefore these planets get lost in the dark of space, they orbit around no star, they're the coldest and darkest planets around the galaxy, plunged into an eternal night... Some Astrophysicists even claim there would be more of those than stars in our galaxy. It would be rather foolish to not include them anywhere in the game. I think.



It would be quite nice to find these planets, and since they're hard to detect as the radiate almost no light, they could be used by fugitive or prisoners, which would use fusion reactors or something to heat up underground bases. Of course, there wouldn't be any life on the surface as these worlds' surface temperature is at the absolute zero. People living on those bases would do lots of trading with outsiders, so expect to be approached by lots of annoying traders once you get there. It could also be a good place to get a new start, to get a new identity *wink wink*

 

This is a great idea. I think it would make sense if it was implemented.

 

Rogue planets would be a ton of fun. Extreme colds and no natural light will make for a challenging exploration.

 

These worlds would be prone to Darkbound infection tho. But it would be fun to find some that are not infected.

 

They have said that some planets would be eternally day or night, and this kind of planet would be perfect to be eternally night.

 

It would have to be, it has no start to orbit after all.

 

thanks stargazer for giving me the perfect way of getting rid of darkbound on my home planet, ill make it eternal day ^_^!

 

Instead of the cruel sun the night will rule forever!

One truth she dares not speak:
her light can only blind and burn.
No mercy for the guilty,
Bring down their lying sun.

Perhaps have some of these planets be an outlaw community? A sort of Omega, if you will.

 

I would definitely build a secret base on one of these planets.

 

Yeah that's exactly what I would like to do.

 

I'd use these as a base of operations for my slave trade. Its unfortunate we wouldn't be able to terraform them though.

 

I love this idea. Freezing darkness.


Though in real life I'm fed up with Finnish winters being like I'd live on one of those flung out planets.

 

Nice idea
