Stars

Stars are Celestial bodies, orbited by at least one satellite like a planet or asteroid belt. The player will always start out in a D-class Star System. Space Stage will allow the player to travel between planets and star systems.

Star Types
Stars are differentiated by their spectral class and number of satellites. The spectral class influences the star's size, light colour and temperature, affecting the climate of its planets and the resources that can be found in the star system. Every star has 1-6 satellites There's a 50% chance any of these "slots" will be occupied, but there will always be at least 1 satellite per star system. Celestial objects that are made of multiple parts, like an asteroid belt, or a planet with a moon, counts as a single satellite. Additionally, star systems can also have different background colours, which have no effect on gameplay. Stars with protoplanetary disks will not have other satellites. There is a 20% chance that a satellite will be an asteroid belt, otherwise, it will be a planet. The chances for the planet types are even. Additionally, as of V 0.2.0 there's a 3% chance of a black hole spawning instead of a planet.

Protoplanetary Disks
All stars that are classified as Regular Star have a 10% chance to spawn with a protoplanetary disk instead of normal satellites. These accretion disks consist of dense gas, that will be harvestable in future versions of the game. The disks will permanently stay in this state throughout the whole game, rather than evolving into planetary systems.

Binary Stars
Some star systems will be able to have multiple stars in future versions of the game. No further information has been revealed yet.
