Had to try this... loads of fun!...
Got a stable system with one planet (Planet 5) crossing paths with another (Planet 4)... consequently, for Pluto lovers...
Are the two planets that cross-over each other technically not planets, as they haven't clear their respective orbits?
It was interesting to see the elongated orbit (Planet 5) slowly go more circular, only to be pulled back into high elongated by the Brown Dwarf (Planet 2) and Planet 4. Planet 5 actually ended up outside of Planet 4's orbit several times, slowly shifting into the crossing mode again.
OIC!
