11G Landable Planet

I've already done the 10.66g one and the 9.7g (was it 9.7?) one close to the bubble on my current trip. But in the end I want to land on all discovered (and landable) 9g+ worlds! :)

Thanks FixMeNow and Sysmon, will try to locate it once I get back to the centre. I did some class O surveying myself there, but I guess I just need to visit far more of them than I did back then. I still need to land on The Mighty as well. Don't remember why I skipped it...

This one looks fun. I love the high Gs with biologicals on it. I am going to plan a trip out that way to land my Exploration Cutter. So far, i have successfully landed the 9.9G near Colonia, 9.77G near the bubble, and Newton's Necropolis (10.66G) all in my exploration cutter. I look fodward to adding this one to my list.

So hey guys i just landed on an 11.01g planet, i think it might be a record.

This wasnt exactly by chance O-types seem to throw up the high gravity things, i have been mapping O-types for last week. Havent found the 11.01 spot, maybe in a crator?

Was a bit of a crash landing as i had to avoid the pumpkins at biological 2 site.

How far is it from Colonia? I want to find my own high G planet to first discover and map. It has been my experience that O, B and sometimes A stars have high g planets im them.

How do you land a Cutter on 10G world? Do you gradually descend at shallow angle? Because vertical thrusters on Cutter are absolutely inept even with the best module and upgrades.

You can't* land with vertical thrusters on a 10g world anyway, no matter the ship? You'd just make a new crater? I tend to stop using them at about 10km of altitude, then do a -10°, and a bit further down a -5° decent until I reach 200 - 300 metres. No rolling, because rolling means dying. From there I use flight assist on/off, switching it off several times, for very short durations. As short as my fingers allow me.

*I wanna see the man who lands any ship on a 10g world with vertical thrusters! I don't think it's entirely impossible, but it would need to be very, very well timed and planned.

I do not think I heard of anyone finding and landing on an 11g planet before.
I wish you had recorded it. Would have been fun to watch.

On a 10g world in my cutter if i hit the down thruster i lose 30km of altitude. Using the flight assist trick is much more manageable if you want to get down i n a hurry. I am working on a video where i perform different flight maneuvers in my cutter on a 10G planet. Its good ingo to know if you like doing high g landings.

Its about 2k ly from colonia, stick with O types for sure. Somone asked if i recorded my landing,

I recorded my landing on xbox, well if you call it a landing, my sheilds were engineered thank god.

Check out my landing on my youtube channel. I explzin what im doing and why. I land my cutter with full shields and some grace. Www.youtube.com/user/typherious71. Try my method next time and see if you have any better results.

I see it in the data now. Definitely the new record. Here are the top three:

Code: 
mysql> select name,gravity from planets where isLandable=1 order by gravity desc limit 3;
+-------------------------------+---------+
| name                          | gravity |
+-------------------------------+---------+
| Kyloall CL-Y g1518 D 1        | 11.0092 |
| Phroi Bluae IR-W f1-1530 AB 1 | 10.6605 |
| Kyloalks DL-Y g17 4           | 9.89757 |

I really hope there are more and heavier planets out there. I am currently mining in an effort to raise the funds for a fleet carrier. I want to take it out to a huge O or B star field and look for my own high G planet to claim.

Nice test flight! Gives you an idea of how dangerous rolls or even turns can be, when not relying purely on yaw.

Acquaintance of mine actually happily did a roll on the 10.66 in his AspX after takeoff to celebrate the occasion. Well... you can guess how that went. :LOL:

Thank you. I was hoping people in this thread would find it helpful. Im just glad i found others that like high g landings too. Again, take your favorite ship and do the same test on 9.77G so you know how your ship will handle itself when you attempt those landings.

I will, but not on the well-known 9.77g world near the bubble. After having completed my first galactic circumnavigation, visited BD+46 1067 and discovered HD 40064, I've headed back out into the black again. I'm already close to the Empyrean Straits to look for FixMeNow's 9g world. I hope I can find it in the codex once I get there, but I'm not so sure... for my current region it shows a "13.9g" world as the heaviest found. And that's in a system just 4-5 jumps back, where I found a HMC with 1.39g. Eh..? Not sure WHAT the codex is doing, but it seems... fishy, to say the least.

If I can find the world, I'll re-do your tests there, minus the yaw one maybe. If I cannot I will head to the 11.01g world and do it there.

I have to say though, the down-thrust and FA off tests are tricky to compare. My vertical thrusters are controlled via an analog ministick, which will make a difference when compared to a digital button. Also, we can't be sure we'd have pressed the buttons / actuated the sticks for the exact same amount of time, so there's quite a margin of error involved there I think.

I'll let you know once I reach either the ~9g or the 11.01g one.
