Two moons collided in spectacular fashion, while two other moons in our Actual solar system also appear to be on a collision course.
One is a bug created by the Stellar Forge and the other is the exact same scenario but with a different outcome.
Though there are glitches with Elite's galaxy generating tool, some of these "glitches" can actually be explained with recent astronomical discoveries.
This is the first part of a series that will attempt to explain these crazy results from Elite’s Stellar Forge.
