L1? or L4-5?
Posted By: Oddot <oddot@adambom.com>Date: 12/22/99 10:24 a.m.

In Response To: Spin that ring (L. Tankersley ("Cap'n Carnage"))

About a week ago I was explaining what I knew(I use that word loosly here) about Lagrange points to a newbie, and I got nailed for saying the Halo was at L1. L1-3 are far too unstable to be practical. As I understand it a comet passing through the system would be able to pull the Halo out of its orbit around L1-3.

So which is it guys? I would put money down that Nathan said L4-5 are used in the game.
