if pluto is a planet then we will have dozens of planets.. plutos orbit is not stable & that one of the reasons it was canned.. They made the right choice 100%

First and foremost I may need a definition or a rule set on "Game Talk" and "Off Topic"

Maybe the crew at Stardock. To commemorate Pluto by making it a planet in the game.

I thought this put it into context as being game related. I am constantly viewing posts about how people want this or that in the game, or would like this changed or that changed. If it is not in the game we should not talk about it? Therefore it should not go in the "Game Talk" forum.... Is this correct? So the 100s of posts of people wanting Carriers should actually be placed in the off topic category? I am so confused, so please forgive me for posting this in what I thought was the correct forum. I stand corrected.

A class 0 rock that you have to zoom in just to see

Secondly, the actual game scale of planets in GalCiv2 is obviously incorrect. Therefore, technically, feasibly, reasonably, Pluto could be made a planet in the Terran solar system just as small as the already existing (tiny) planets in the game.

Oh, and it would be kinda cool to have the planet Pluto in the game

Lastly, No need for Sarcasm. I thought it would be cool to commemorate Pluto as a planet in the game, since it has been a spoken of, taught in schools, and known by countless millions as a planet in our solar system, for over 76 Years. Name another non - planet (stars excluded) that is as well known.

It would be a pretty cool headline in a press. "Small Gaming Company Commemorates Pluto."

Gah... Why am I wasting my time.

Haha... He is.... but is Goofy?

Edit: Wow... This post must be the most traveled post of all time!!! Goes from " Game Talk " To " Off Topic " to " Ideas " just about as fast as I am posting my replys. Who is making my head spin????

LOL.

Name another non - planet (stars excluded) that is as well known.

Halies Comet is well known. One of the reasons that Pluto is no longer a planet is that scientists think Pluto is just a giant comet.

i hate to say this but the astronomers are still calling it a planet

new classifaction is dwarf PLANET

i figuared it out yesterday the earth has been around for 4 billion years

assuming that they both formed at the same time pluto has only been around for 16 million years (for those of you who cant figuare that out it is the number of times that pluto has been able to orbit the sun

Gah...

new classifaction is dwarf PLANET

I just heard that on the news... was about to post it... You are so right. Ah well, guess I am going to have to go back to saving the whales or trees or something.

Wait a second, dwarf? Kind of politically incorrect you think?
(Thats a joke guys and gals)

Thanks for the posts guys it was fun    

has to be round becouse of gravity

oh and so far of all of the solar systems that they know about ours is the only orderly one

like example the gas giant that runs in as close as mercury and out as far as jupiter and is twice as massive as jupiter i think it may be bigger

Astronomers have always had a problem calling Pluto a planet. "Unusually large round asteroid" is just a lousy name for it. They finally got around to giving it a classification besides asteroid, comet, or planet. The Kuiper belt that Pluto borders actually has a lot of big asteroids, but Pluto is the only one they've discovered so far that's really too big to call one.

you forget xena

oh and for an asteroid pluto is weird it has three moons so far

Who is to say that it was a mistake? The scientist who made the discovery of an asteroid/comet/whatever else you want to call it, with satellites which orbit it? The new dope smoking alcoholic astronomers who want to make a name for themselves? Let me get this straight... because a planet is different, in one way, shape, fashion, form, or orbit, it will no longer be considered a planet?
So now since it is small and it's orbit is a little off.. we call it a dwarf planet... to ummm... correct a mistake that "someone" says was made in the 1930's?

What about "it is not a planet", the mistake that they made oh.... just a week or so ago that they corrected a day or so ago? Now its a Dwarf Planet......

Freakin Please

Make up my mind already.

One thing youve forgot! There are 3 possible new planets that might be counted as one!

Ceres (between earth and mars), a planet behind pluto, and one planet even further behind that

because a planet is different, in one way, shape, fashion, form, or orbit, it will no longer be considered a planet

Oh no! Political correctness gone mad!  

Pluto's a lump of rock and ice. It's totally not bothered what anyone calls it. It's not got 'feelings' u know.
