When barycenter is located inside one of the bodies (the more massive one) - we have planet-satellite configuration (Earth-Moon);
When barycenter is located outside of both bodies - we have binary planet configuration (Pluto-Charon).

Karinka When barycenter is located outside of both bodies - we have binary planet configuration (Pluto-Charon).
(*cough*) 'we have binary dwarf planet configuration' (in your specific example)

Shame that E:D can't calculate gravity fluctuations for binary systems, as when two bodies are really close, it would be noticeable. When placed on one of those planets, you'll have little to no gravity when its neighbouring body is right above your head, and you'll have stronger gravity on the opposite side. I always wonder - is it possible to have zero-G (or even negative values) on a surface in these binary systems?.. Would be quite peculiar.

I'd also like to see multiple shadows on planets with multiple stars in the system.

My mistake. According to Wikipedia:
They are so dense that a normal-sized matchbox containing neutron-star material would have a weight of approximately 3 billion tonnes, the same weight as a 0.5 cubic kilometre chunk of the Earth (a cube with edges of about 800 metres) from Earth's surface.

Stillman Hub in HIP 22550 is now a damaged station...
Odd though that was the station that was used by Dexter. Guess Theta 7 wanted to silence her and maybe Whyte so they cannot give away information?
Either way: That will surely convince "your people" to support you after all, NMLA. Nice work!
