what happens when the tidal forces act up?? have we done something about that yet?? xoet
- As far as I understand, the "tidal forces" occured when the system's primary star captured the secondary star (even though I don't think this would necessarily happen in RL). Unless this was within the last week, those forces should have continued outward like ripples in a pond. It shouldn't be something that happens routinely in the system. However, if you'd like to incorporate some other anomaly that causes tidal forces (like the sandbar wasn't enough), you could do that.
