Reply to comment by incarnuim in If you lived on a planet in the center of the Milky Way would the nighttime be significantly brighter compared to Earth’s nighttime due to the larger concentration of stars? by bad_take_

Isn’t that just considering the impact after planets have formed and stable orbits have already occurred?

How would the presence of the extra stars affect the formation to begin with?

For that matter, we could talk about capture of rogue planets too. A dense network of stars might act like something of a net for rogue planets...
