| Periods of higher luminosity will result in better agricultural yields and better power generation. | Luminosity cycling also affects thermal radiation which will affect atmospheric turbulence on your planet and can lead to more frequent catastrophic weather. | | | Periods of higher luminosity will result in better agricultural yields and better power generation. | Luminosity cycling also affects thermal radiation which will affect atmospheric turbulence on your planet and can lead to more frequent catastrophic weather. | | ||

+ | === Young === | ||
+ | Young stars burn much hotter, are generally brighter, more radioactive and have a high occurrence of stellar storms. | ||

+ | ^ Advantage ^ Disadvantage ^ | ||
+ | | Lots of solar energy for high agricultural yields and solar power generation. | High radioactivity and frequent solar storms. | | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Old === | ||
+ | Old stars are much cooler than young and middle-aged stars so they don't put out as much light and thermal energy. On the flip side, the solar system is much more predictable and settled. | ||
