The -2 was counted up as well. And blue stars, as said previously, would result in us exploding spectacularly after a few generations.

Depends, it might also turn into a Wolf Rayet star, which would be interesting.

From what I can tell, they still need some sort of explosion to turn into those stars, which would still destroy any planets in orbit.

Unless the planet was captured after the explosion.

Not really, depends on it's orbiting distance. (Which, for a star this massive would be pretty far out.). Yes, the planet would be scorched, but it wouldn't be much worse than the gamma ray burst we had last game.

Indeed. I say we go for a very harsh planet, such that life will be forced to adapt in interesting ways.

Spoiler: Calling it. Calling it now! (click to show/hide)

So yeah, harsh conditions get a +1 from me.

I know it might sound a bit stubborn from me, but why even bother with having a star?

I don't really know enough about these stars to use them properly, to be honest. For all I know, the collected matter from the nebula would turn us into a brown dwarf star or something.

Doubt we'd have enough gravity. It'd be interesting for the atmosphere though. Near permanent Aurorae, and pretty bright ones too.

Alright, we're doing some serious brainstorming here, which I like, but it makes me think...
To what extents will the planet (especially those more exotic ones) conditions actually affect our evolutionary track? In the beginning at least?

Depends. Gravity and atmosphere will only really affect land animals, radiation will need some sort of protection before we can leave the water, and so on.

[Remuthra]

What about a post-garden world (A world which formerly held life which already went extinct. We could have ruined cities and such.))?

Gonna start counting the votes to see what we want.
Shamelessly copied over the GM's list.
0.5G gravity x6
NO, WE ARE GAS GIANT x2

Tidally locked x7  +1((? to sun or to Gas giant?))
No orbiting star x1

High Planet activity x1 +1

Moon of a gas giant x8 +1
NO, WE ARE GAS GIANT x2

Several active stars nearby x6 +1

Dense atmosphere x6
0.5G gravity x6 +1

Red dwarf x1 +1
No orbiting star x2

Nearby nebula x1 +1 from me

Blackhole x 1 +1 from me

Extinct life x 1
Bear in mind I was lazy and only counted the +1's so, feel free to say so.

The rogue planet means that surface temperatures would be artic at best, eliminates day/night cycles, and some other things. We'll be reliant on geothermal. Having a volatile star would be especially interesting. Periodic burst of radiation would make the surface somewhat hazardous, but not unlivable. The aurorae would be spectacular, and some other stuff.

High atmospheric pressure would have significant effects on flying creatures too. It means that they can get a lot larger, but are quite slow. Low gravity + high atmospheric pressure should also have interesting effects on the waves.

Any remnants of civilization would not survive the time required for life forms to crawl back out of the seas. Unless we go archeological, and even then, it's highly unlikely we'll notice.

As I said, just because a planet does not have a star it does NOT, by any means, mean that it's instantly Hoth all over the place.
And conventional day/night cycles are for pussies.

Make sure all the votes are bold so I don't recount anything. Because I'm good at that.
