Editing Lagrange Point (section)

==Overview==
Every planet size 150 and over has a Lagrange Point sixty degrees behind it in its orbit. As the planet orbits the star, the Lagrange Point orbits with it. As some systems may have multiple large planets, they will also have multiple Lagrange Points (LP). 

These Lagrange Points can be stabilized by a ship with a stabilization module. Stabilized LPs act as mini-[[jump point]]s within their system (single or multi-star). Because jumps from LPs are to destinations within the same system, the gravitational stresses are far less than for an interstellar jump point and therefore a ship does not require a [[Jump drive]] to use LPs, nor suffer from [[Jump shock]]. Any ship can make an intra-system jump from one stabilized LP to any other stabilized LP in the same system, even one orbiting a different star within the system. When you select an LP as a movement destination, you will see a list of possible intra-system jump destinations. Ships moving within a system will automatically use LPs if it shortens the trip.

Stabilized LPs are shown on the map simply as LP1, LP2, etc. In the [[Task Groups]] window they are shown next to the planet whose orbit they share. So you might see ''Jupiter Lagrange Point'' as a destination. When you add intra-system jump orders, the name of the planet sharing the orbit is listed. So an order may read ''Intra-system jump to Jupiter Lagrange Point''. Because these are intra-system rather than interstellar jumps, there is no scattering on arrival.
