@LordCypher I will send you a private message about a writing part.
@CJW good to hear from you. No problem, if it’s not your cup of tea, it’s not your cup of tea. If this is a success, then perhaps the next game…
@CS_Closet would you like to be involved in discussions with the writers as we develop this game? Your knowledge would be most valuable to us!
**Spoiler alert**
Just to be clear, the only viable option will have to be to vacate the Earth. Including other solutions would, as MaraJade said, make the spaceship journey part of the game pointless. Not to mention writing the game will take forever! However, naturally, these other options will be explorable to an extent in the game. Just don’t expect to succeed with them.
@fantom
True. Can’t exactly move that… The failure in plausibility with that would be that such a thing would likely be spotted well beyond 25 years in advance. Especially if this is the future we’re talking about.
And planetoids don’t usually go rogue within a system. Normally, if they wandered in, they’ll fall into an orbit somewhere around the star. Now, if that orbit happens to cross the Earth’s orbit and the two celestial bodies should find themselves in the same place at the same time, then you’ve got your Earth devastating scenario.
@andymwhy
Sure, I’ll join in. Just be warned that planetary astronomy isn’t exactly my strongest point.
Thanks CS_Closet. I’ll add you to the private chat.
Just a though. What if a black hole orbits just enoung into our planetary system to throw the planets into new orbits. This could cause a dramatic climbment change. Plus as it shifts the possibility of the Earth coliding with another object in the night sky highly probably.

@andymwhy
Definitely! 
Though I’ll be following the development of this regardless!
if a black hole was a less rwo years light lol we would destroyed in lest two days due the radiation and energy a black hole has, also the fact all would shallow in weeks not enough time to build a ship and even that how hell ship could escape the hole gravity? the best result could be floating milennea in the even horizont and maybe appear in the future or more pausible death by radiation or like a spagettis.
edit I forget micro black holes people was afraid CERN could create and shallow half earth. but that stupid micro are unestable and if could create one energy on eaarth would be free so not enough problem.
@lordirishdas
I quite like that idea.
@MaraJade
In theory if the black hole was on the edge of the galaxy a specially built spaceship could escape heading for the opposite side.
in the edge of galaxy not in colixion with earth or less ten years light lol its not the same
@MaraJade
“Just a though. What if a black hole orbits just enoung into our planetary system to throw the planets into new orbits.”
thats what lord irish said. It’s the other planets that could collide.
planet move goodbye moon and sun to warm a big freeze ball without stable rotation say goodbye humanity but that would be faster than a asteroid so no time build ship Game over
If a black hole did appear how long would it actually take for the changes to be felt? As for not enough time it depends on how far ahead in tech this world is. If its “now” then we would be screwed but considering they can build a ship that will travel light years maybe that would be possible.
they would travel near light not faster than so no way you have to be faster ligh enter a worm hole to be possible the story don’t see that way due faster light no 1200 years travel so half story enter in a plot hole also you probably end in other universe inside multiverse .
@Nocturnal_Stillness
Depends on how big the black hole is, how fast it’s moving (they’re usually pretty slow), and what your beginning reference of time is.
First indication we’d have that a black hole was in the system would be an increase in comets shooting around the place. But that’s pretty easy to not notice.
If it gets closer into the system (assuming it’s going across the plane of the ecliptic where all of the planets are), it’ll either distort the orbits of the outer planets (again, somewhat easy to miss) or consume some of the outer planets (in which case, it’ll emit radiation that we might pick up).
We actually may not even see the black hole until it starts having an effect on our planet. So, yeah. Potentially not much warning there.
There would be signs, Pluto could drift out of orbit . Small signs but maybe enough time to save some of humanity. To eacape they could put the sun between them and the on coming gravitational pull of the black hole.
An asteroid would be more realistic, but a black hole could be more epic.
@lordirisdas yeah you are forgotten universe isnt a map and pluto is in our door in cosmic measures when pluto go away you in better cases have a month buy ship send it and evite the radiation NO WAY. also universe isnt plane black hole could come other side of galaxy a black hole is impossible lol.
The only way is a supernova in this galaxy enought to sterilize planet with gamma rays . you could know it coming with enough time i believe, but is not as possible. And gamma radiation travels light speed so could cactch ships any way.
@CS_Closet what about the earth lost magnetosphere like some people say happened in mars . That could be notice with enough time to build ships and go?
I’m going to try and help out with the ‘Black Hole’ situation, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I just got it worse.
The defining feature of a black hole is the appearance of an event horizon—a boundary in spacetime through which matter and light can only pass inward towards the mass of the black hole. Nothing, not even light, can escape from inside the event horizon. The event horizon is referred to as such because if an event occurs within the boundary, information from that event cannot reach an outside observer, making it impossible to determine if such an event occurred. Far away from the Event Horizon, a particle can move in any direction, restricted only by the speed of light. The closer to the black hole, space time starts to deform, more paths are heading for the black hole rather than away from it. Once inside the event horizon, any path a particle takes it will lead to the black hole’s center, there is no escape once in the event horizon.
There’s also Hawking radiation, where Hawking suggested that smaller black holes would emit more radiation than a large one, so a small black hole nearing the Solar System would give us more warning, and be more likely.
But yeah, this is what I wanted to add.
This is a nice articaul on black holes, I will say no more on it as it was only a thought

@MaraJade
We’d have more than ample warning about that. The nice magnetosphere of the Earth is made possible thanks to our planet’s spinning core. Stopping something with that much momentum would take a very long time, so we’d have plenty of warning that the magnetic field was weakening well before it became a serious problem.
@lordirishdas
Black holes are one thing, and supermassive black holes are something else entirely. You don’t want one of those anywhere near your part of the galaxy, let alone in your system.
@LordCypher
Here’s an additional fun fact: It’s possible to be inside the event horizon of a black hole without it having much of an effect on you. Oh, you’ll eventually die, as there is no escape, but you’ll be fine for a little while.

What about over pollution? If humanity continued on like we are now and polluting the atmosphere, eventually getting to the point where there is no recovery and the ozone slowly gets eaten up, leaving the Earth exposed to the raw unfiltered rays from the sun. Something like this we could see coming decades in advance and prepare accordingly.
