Rare Sight?

CMDR Cosmic Spacehead · Apr 25, 2016

I just stumbled upon a landable ringed planet.... With another ringed planet for a moon!
I've seen non landable ones before, but never 2 landable ones.

Also that system is huge, and has about 5 more landable ringed planets. Lol
Forgot to write the system name down though... It's about 400ly from Sag A if you head directly back to the bubble.

I'd say that's a rare one indeed. Never seen that before.

Pretty rare, yes. Not quite as rare as earthlikes or ringed earthlikes, though. Haven't seen either of these two yet, but ringed landables pass by every now and then. I like this one - triple ringed:

Quite a few out there in the bubble, I often come across them whilst trucking into surface ports. Whilst not directly a ringed planet, check out this system in the Bubble, the moon and surface port are inside the rings of a gas giant. Breathtaking views from the surface

This is one in the bubble ..

Cooool. I love all the screenshots.

Anyone know why mine looks odd and washed out?
Been getting that alot recently, is it something to do with the cores ambient light?

I even get a fully light starfield, while looking directly at a nearby star. Seems bizarre, and only started happening in the last few 100ly.

FYI, my graphics are set to mostly high with some ultra.
Planets are medium.

Those screenies are pretty nice

I am still looking for icy ringed planet with the green star. So far without success.
The rocky ones are rare, too, though.
