ANNOUNCEMENT 2.2 Your Input Needed - Passenger Tourist Destinations
- Thread starter Michael Brookes
- Start date
I would like to nominate 38 Lyncis 5. One of the few (two IRRC) Earth-like planets with rings in the Bubble.

Name: Cmdr Nadir Ffenics
System: Boewnst BE-Z c1-129
Planet: 1 A
Location: -72.326, -176.856
Suggested title: The Ashes of Gehenna
This moon orbits a ringed gas giant only 12 light seconds from the K class star. The surface temperature is 1333K which is almost exactly the temperature to melt Gold or evaporate Magnesium so it is hotter than many furnaces. It truly is like Hell in Dante's Inferno and so I used the word Gehenna to describe it. Gehenna means Hell, or any place of extreme torment or suffering and is a fitting noun for such an inhospitable location. Given the high temperature, it could be where a phoenix is born from it's own ashes and so I call it "The Ashes of Gehenna".
The red stone mountains offset the gas giant (Abaddon) in the background and since the moon is tidally locked to the planet, Abaddon will appear to stay in the same place against the view. The moon orbits in the plane of the rings, and so will also experience darkness as it passes into eclipse behind Abaddon every 1.4 days.

wohaa! nice one!
This one must REALLY be something now, with the white dwarf update.
Hi Michael
As a casual player (time constrained) I depended on the occasional smuggle from Maia and occasionally Sothis to get A rated upgrades or just a few more million in the bank. I never made these massive runs that some talk about but they already have an Anaconda etc. These smuggling runs allowed me to get from a Cobra to an ASP and one CG allowed me to get a Python. The passenger missions are cool but nerfing the smuggling and pushing people towards this is not for everyone. I did a passenger mission last night and brought the guy to his destination and back but couldn't complete the mission. I couldn't eject him until i swapped in a cargo rack..very frustrating especially when I have time restrictions it was a wasted 600 lightyear trip for nothing along with the time spent.
I would ask you reconsider unerfing the outside the bubble missions and ask who are you catering for, it seems to be the guy who can play 60 hours a week with no job. I would ask you think about the player who has limits on play time but equally loves them game as much as the next guy. I would also recommend buffing missions across the board.
Wow! Nice find.
What's the composition of the rings?

Has anyone suggested the Voyagers and New Horizons yet?
If not, consider them suggested!

Tourist location:
System: Synuefue WM-H d11-27 (2462,87 ly from Sol)
Body: Synuefue WM-H d11-27 ABCD 5 E
Class 1 Gas Giant orbiting an ammonia world with huge rings. According to http://www.elitegalaxyonline.com/ the biggest rings of an ammonia world ever discovered (http://www.elitegalaxyonline.com/object-view/?object_id=17944)

Wow, talk about a familiar sight

The Black Diamond
The Black Diamond
Tourist Location: EOCH FLYUAE BQ-P E5-1179
Bodies: EOCH FLYUAE BQ-P E5-1179 A, EOCH FLYUAE BQ-P E5-1179 B
Twin Neutron Stars set between Colonia and the last outpost in the Colonia Connection. There is also a S Class giant, EOCH FLYUAE BQ-P E5-1179 D in the system.
I'm sure it would make a great tourist AND scientific destination.

EARTH-LIKE MOON
During my last trip back to Colonia I found an earth-like moon, in a binary system. It's quite rare, at least is the only one I saw in my exploration career ([woah]). It's Voqua MF-L d9-189 A 2 A, moon of the second planet of the main star. It orbits a terraformable HMC world.
It's quite far away, but certainly a great destination for a billionaire...

Night Club System
System Name: HD 235350
Distance from Sol: 4407ly
Name of Discoverer: LNEWLFE
Name of contributor: LNEWLFE
TLDR: 2 pulsars with class B blues in one system
Description:
Travel to HD 235350, the up-and-coming destination for all the neo-tekno music clubbers! With luxury ships hovering in between the two pulsars, with the BPM's matching the warping stars, its the greatest musical light show on this side of Sol. The Blueish light given off the main star matches the dark lights from the various ships musical night club cabins, giving the neon glowing clothes some real appeal. With 4400 light years from Sol, the chances of noise violations and complaints are down to a minimum. Bring your o-head, some Lavian Brandy, and get partying!

Incredible view of 3 nebulae and the milky way.
The Witch Head, Running Man, and Orion nebulae are all visible from this planet. Barnard's loop is also somewhat visible but partially obscured by Orion's nebula.
RUNNING MAN SECTOR CQ-Y D16, Planet A1 on the dark side. You get this view:
