Want to share this mountain formation I call "Piramid District", it's in Deciat 4 (25:-24)

I would suggest locations, planets and stations from the various novels that have been published. They were the places I tried to find and visit (and bookmark) once I had got established in the game.

I haven't got screenshots but the rationale and locations are fairly clear.

Starting suggestions would be :

The Prism system (Reclamation), Reddot, Jackson's Lighthouse (Wanted), Freeholm (Legacy), Slough (Mostly Harmless), Delta Pavonis (Escape Velocity), but there are many more locations from the novels that could be referred to and included as passenger destinations.
 
I recalled some stories of science fiction, where write about astronomical events, who's attracts many tourists. Like supernova explosion, appulse, impact events, meteor storms etc. It is those events, what known long before they occur. And these events travel agencies selling tickets.
 
Have another few here, at the moment if you get behind Shenetserii's only planet, a Class II gas giant, it creates a lovely view of the AB pair nested in Barnard's Loop, I'm calling it... Barnard's Cradle.

This is a lonely gas giant with ammonia-based life that just felt quite special there hanging against the backdrop of the Milky Way. It is believed the renowned undersea restaurants of Rho Geminorum farm this planet for their award winning radioplankton soup range.

This place here is very interesting, Shibboleth 4; a gas giant moon with an almost perfect ratio mix of ammonia, methane and nitrogen (and some mystery ingredients). It's got some pretty crazy oceans and lakes, and silicate magma volcanism to boot. Quite striking!

Hullo!

Found this guy last night, absolutely wonderful terraformed world with a super cyan atmosphere (I checked and its power level is indeed over 9000), I present to you: Londinium! There's an interesting thing about this system, Alexandrinus... It is "home to a lost, ancient civilisation with primitive beliefs in divinity". And here's the thing, unless they breathe carbon or sulphur dioxide, ammonia or nitrogen and/or are very fond of the cold, that means someone perhaps put them there on Londinium!

A historian, archaeologist, theologian, scientist and conspiracy nut's DREAM location. :) One also wonders what they make of the observation station in orbit... :D

HIP 63835

System HIP 63835
CMDR RadiKyle

On the way to the Coalsack Nebula. Has 3 black holes, a boatload of stars, and a giant water world. 2 of the black holes are a binary pair about 10 ls apart.

Long distance tourism/passenger missions would get my vote. And here's hoping the Beluga or Dolphin are able to keep up with anacondas for long range jumps.

Sag * has probably been voted many times, but I'll vote for it too. Everyone should go there at least once.
Jaques should have frequent passenger/tourism traffic. It's famous.

Sol, birthplace of humanity.

Sol-Achenar, because the rich of one civilization would want to visit the other.

My contribution would be the Bubble Nebula. It's pretty.

DRYOOE FLYOU PC-V E2-457, This small planetary nebula is along the colonial route about 2000LY from Jacques. Its a brilliant green/orange nebula with a black hole at its core. The way the black hole interacts with the light from the nebula isn't something that can be described with words!
 
A location within the bubble.

System: LP 176-55
Planet #: 5 (Jovian)

I thought the contrast between the deep blue-purple and the dull grey clouds looked awesome, especially when I dropped out of SC and saw the planet from a higher angle.

Another location from inside the bubble. This Icy moon orbits "just" beyond the ring of its parent. So close that Orbital altitude gives you proximity warnings if your not careful. Thought the scene from the ground was cool, also the world has "Water Geysers" according to the system map which will be cool to see.

System: G 121-8 A
Planet #: 1 A (Icy Moon)

I propose PLIO EURL YC-Y B44-0 B1, planet about 1500 LY from Sol with a very close moon, in orbit around a red dwarf. It's an excellent place for eclipse chasing!

Xeehaei BE-E d13-7 A 1

This tiny world orbits less than 2 LS from a White Dwarf. Its rotation period is so short that you can watch the sun move at dawn and dusk, and see the terminator cross the ground beneath you.
