Tier 5 Revision

[Epyriel]

So at the moment we have Dwarf Star level rated from x to y joules.

Some of the dwarfs aren't even stars.

Brown dwarfs are the lowest end.

I would prefer to not call the tier Brown Dwarf or etc since there are different kinds of dwarfs and larger than planet Gass giants.

Personally, substar/substellar seems the most appropriate for High 5-A.

It is not that “some of the dwarfs” in High 5-A aren’t stars, none of the objects in High 5-A are stars, and all of them are brown dwarfs. All the actual dwarf stars are in higher tiers. There also aren’t any planets in High 5-A, nothing but brown dwarfs.

Practically speaking it is already the ‘brown dwarf’ tier, we simply don’t call it that (yet). Its values are precisely defined by the GBE range of brown dwarfs, and brown dwarfs exclusively.

As for ‘substar’, such corresponds to any objects from tiny moons up to the largest brown dwarfs - it occupies all of Tier 5, not just High 5-A which is why it is part of the proposal to rename the entire tier from Tier 5: Planetary (which is inaccurate since it includes tons of objects that aren’t planets) to Tier 5: Substellar.
