Astronomy / Space 9th Planet

[Falcon_D]

Hello,

Just came across this, this morning:
http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2016...eptune-sized-planet-lurks-unseen-solar-system

Would FD add this planet to Sol if it's found?
Or even more interesting, add the plant using the current system algorithms (the ones that place and move planets) and have the CMDRs help the real astronomers point their telescopes in the right direction.

Have fun, fly safe. o7

I bet they would add it pretty fast once/if it's found. Not sure about the second part though as I don't think the game has that much actual simulation on the side of planets and the effects of gravity on that scale. I have yet to see anything in game with an elliptical orbit but then I'm more of a fighter not an explorer so might just not have noticed - would be cool if I was wrong though.
