I have never heard a description of what it would be like to orbit a dual sun core. I would guess that temperature would vary wildly with changing distances. In fact, I'm not sure solid planets would survive.
:P Consider a Binary System as a Big Furious Star. Then, put the planet far from the System, enough to make life possible.
Conclusion = 1 year in RK = omfg years in Earth. Translation movement doesnt affect Day's duration :P

To devs: You failed redesigning MPs as NTs with pets. I want my debuffer back.
Dreamer: Basically - I wish THIS much effort was put in to ALL profs rebalance docs.
Kintaii: Genele is more hardcore than you, your guildmates, and anyone else you've ever played with
Anarrina: Trust me, I'm not that scary in real life.
Loving the ai dailies - I even have 2 characters at ai level cap
+1 to the comment about NT though - mine tends to die unless it's the salvage mission, then I can train thru to the clump and complete it!
depends on how fast the planet is moving in orbit as well though. in the case of rubi-ka, it might be moving alot faster around the binary star. this would contradict the effects of dukemnukemforeverism that seems to reek havoc on its development, but if the planet is moving alot faster, this might explain why the noob shuttle crashes everytime it tries to land (besides the fact the the shuttles repair/maintenance team is made up of atrox engineers).
*edit* from what I've read in picturebooks, a binary system is more often where a normal sun has planets orbit it, and then there is another sun afar off. during a planets rotation, it will come inbetween the two suns once a year, and be closest to the second sun during that time. exactly half a year later, it is as far away as possible from the second sun in its orbit (this is assuming a 2 dimensional style orbit). depending on how close the planet is to the second sun, it will determine the gravity, weather anomolies, hot/cold difference, day/night ratio etc., and every so often the first sun will eclipse the second from the planets view entirely.

wtf happened to my avatars eyebrows?
I used to listen to Dubstep in the 90's... every time I connected to the internet.
