Gravity Rating. Where?

[Hea7hen]

I'm struggling to find the gravity rating in the planetary map screen on some unexplored planets and don't really fancy going in blind with unknown G's. Do i need a Discovery scanner or Surface scanner to get the info?

I believe in the System Map, it only shows the mass of the planet, compared to Earth. However, upon entering Orbital Cruise, there's a readout under the Altimeter Ladder that shows just G's. most I've seen is like .22. I know there's higher gravity worlds, just haven't seen them. it may also show the info in the System Map, just haven't seen that either.

Thanks buddy, i never thought to look on the HUD. That'll be useful.

Physicists my correct me but I think gravitation pull is proportional to mass, so the mass in the system map tells you all you need to know. If it says that the planet weighs 7 earth masses, then it's going to be around 7G when you land..

well, that just makes too much sense.

Oh ok. So as a general rule, all these chains of smaller planets that i often see should be a similar gravity. But if i see a larger planet to land on, use some caution.

Select planet in system map, then 2nd tab in left panel and listed are Reserves, Earth Masses, Radius and THEN Gravity.

Me too.

Are we likely to find any high G worlds at present? A planet needs a decent amount (technical term right there) of gravity amongst many things to retain an atmosphere. As we're not yet able to land on a planet with one, then?

Not all of them have that info thou, hence my question.

I think it's only rocky airless worlds for now. seen talk of Planets with over 9 G's tho.

I can't seem to share an image, but it's on the system map, on the planet details tab, about 3rd item down.

I watched a youtube vid of a pilot landing on a high grav planet (may have been 9G) he had great difficulty taking off again. Thats why i'm cautious, I don't want to be stranded lol.
