| You'd think, but no.  Remember you're looking at planets orbiting hundreds of AU away. The strength of tidal forces drops as the cube of the distance, so that far out, the tidal forces are totally negligible. Similar story with the radiation. This no worse of an environment for planet formation than where Earth formed.
I might have some concern over whether the supernova that created the black hole would vaporize the system, but I'm not certain. It would require doing some maths.
SpaceEngine is pretty accurate (though not perfect) in factoring all these things in during system generation; realism is one of the core goals with this program.

| The galaxies in SE's universe are numbered in order of brightness, so the brightest quasar is bound to be something along the lines of RG 0-0-0-[small number]. I forgot whether or not I've seen it before and what exact number it is, but I'm pretty sure there's at least one with the last number below 100.

| What galaxy is all 0's? Or at least only has a 1 at the end?
Living among the stars, I find my way. I grow in strength through knowledge of the space I occupy, until I become the ruler of my own interstellar empire of sorts. Though The world was made for the day, I was made for the night, and thus, the universe itself is within my destiny.

| RG 0-0-0-0. It is an S0.

| Quote Watsisname ( ) I might have some concern over whether the supernova that created the black hole would vaporize the system, but I'm not certain. It would require doing some maths.
I made some rough calculations. As I'd guessed, for planets within a few AU of a supernova, the intensity of the radiation is sufficient to completely vaporize and obliterate them. But a few AU is really close. That can even be inside the progenitor star.
At hundreds of AU, it's a different story, and this is where I could not trust my intuition. Supernovae are incredibly bright, but 100AU is also very far. It turns out that at this distance, the radiation is intense enough to melt rock and even iron, so it would be devastating to planetary atmospheres and surfaces. However, the total energy delivered is orders of magnitude less than what is necessary to vaporize a whole planet, and it is also less than the gravitational binding energy of a planet (whether Earth-like or a gas giant).
There is also the question of the energy delivered by the shockwave. The shockwave is very fast, but a planet that far out doesn't intercept much material. "Much" being maybe about the mass of an asteroid. Still not enough energy.
So, that was some cool knowledge gained. Supernovae are unbelievably energetic events. But planets in the system can survive them, if they are far enough away. That seems to be consistent with the fact that we've detected planets orbiting pulsars, though we don't necessarily know if those planets formed before or after the supernova that created the pulsar.

I don't think we have the tech to detect planets around any star that far away--In fact, the first exoplanets discovered were around a pulsar, so those probably came after the supernova; the star they would've been orbiting before the supernova would've ended up being inside the star and then vaporized in the supernova. Don't think there'd be much chance for them to survive that.

| Oh, I thought some of them were discovered in larger orbits, but you're right. All pulsar planets detected thus far orbit too close (with maybe one exception, but we think it has a separate evolutionary history for other reasons) . There's also the problem of the sudden loss of much of the system's mass during the supernova, which will usually cause any surviving planets to be ejected.
The case of massive binaries, such as RS 9173-4040-0-0-5 here, is a really interesting one. There the planets may be distant enough to survive, and the combination of star masses might also help survivors to remain bound.

It looks similar to Earth. Also, I found a two gas giants tidally locked to each other.

| Not all m dwarf planets are locked in real life, a very big asteroid could have struck the planet and it rotates, it could have a big moon that stableizes it's rotation and prevents it from being tidally locked.

The X-axis is the number in RG-0-0-0-X
As you can see, brightness goes up and down and doesn't seem to sink from galaxy #1 to #50, it's not sorted by brightness.
