ANNOUNCEMENT 2.2 Your Input Needed - Passenger Tourist Destinations

May I present my finest discovery while I was exploring: DRYOI PRI GG-Y E5156, a ringed earth-like orbiting a neutron star somewhere between 12-16kly from Sol.

SYSTEM : La Superba (Y Canum Venaticorum)
Main star Giant Carbon Star
PLANET LOCATION : Y Canum Venaticorum A2
CMDR Name : CMDR Muetdhiver
Distance around : 1100 Ly from Sol

Giant Carbon Star, bright red. Multiple landing spots, best one is A2 metal rich planet. Fills the hole screen, like betelgeuse.

*Mod hat off



I was there a few weeks ago, and could not find it. Just to be extra sure, it would be great if someone else can go confirm it is gone. My understanding is that this , along with other glitches, was corrected in a recent update but I may be wrong.

I also can confirm it is no more.
 
SYSTEM : DRYAO AOSCS DV-Z C28-366
Main star K Star
PLANET LOCATION : DRYAO AOSCS DV-Z C28-366 4A
CMDR Name : CMDR Muetdhiver
Distance around : 19800 Ly from Sol

System near a very nice Planetary nebula. The 4A moon is a rocky ice planet with huge crevices and ridges, up to 12km deep.
On top of that, the moon has nice colors and is orbiting a very good looking gas giant.
Best vista near a planetary nebula I found so far (and I visited 60-70+ of them)

SYSTEM: HIP 84144
LOCATION: 342LY Corewards from Mechet (which is where I happen to be parked - Sol is 120LY rimwards from there at an angle, so I'd say HIP 84144 is about 420LY from the centre of the bubble)
COMMANDER NAME: Cmdr Turjan
NOTABLE FEATURES: Gas Giants

When I first visited HIP 84144 in Jan 2015, I was struck by the variety of the planets there, especially the extraordinary colours of the gas giants. I put together this combined image of the system's bodies at the time :-



(the axial tilts are accurate in that the images show each planet with the orbit line oriented horizontally)

I haven't visited the system recently, and a lot of visual awesomeness has been added to the game since then, so I don't know exactly how this will have affected things. I did just take a screenshot of the system map though, and it looks like this :-



...so the gas giants are still clearly all looking pretty spectacular, much like the same glorious "celestial bag of marbles" as I called them 18 months ago :)

Now though the system has the advantage of having a single landable moon, handy for tourists who want to stretch their legs before heading back home again!

This was one of the first systems I mapped in detail and it's still one of the most beautiful I've seen on my travels. The sheer variety and colour of the gas giants makes this system a one stop treasure trove for exotic planet hunters!

EDIT: For the historians out there, this is the system map as I screenshotted it back in Jan 2015 :-

A giant Gas at 2 ls from the sun only :D
Depend how you arrive in that system, it could be surprising when you are throw in front of that after a FSD jump

Gagarin, Tereshkova and Armstrong systems: named after the First Ones

Tourists can gather in Gagarin system on April, 12 to celebrate the first manned space flight, The International Day of Human Space Flight
On July 20 tourists from all corners of the Bubble could gather on the Moon to selebrate the anniversary of the first man on the moon, possibly on the location Apollo-11 landed.
 
SYSTEM : Taygeta
Main star Class B
PLANET LOCATION : Taygeta 4
CMDR Name : CMDR Muetdhiver
Distance around : 400 Ly from Sol

A ringed metal rich world (landable, 3g's) in tidal orbit with a ringed gas giant. Taygeta 4 has ~10° orbital inclination w.r.t. to gas giant, allowing for a very nice look on its rings.
The whole system is bathed in the actinic blue light of the B star. One can see the pleiade nebula in the shadow of the metalic planet.
