A real doozy of a system

[Tephlonx5]

Okay, this one is a biggie! And it's delicious.
Where do I start?

When you stare into The Abyss, it stares back.
So there were... several water worlds in this system. Two of which were moons to a ringed giant.

One moon had ice caps and whatnot, which wasn't surprising.
What was surprising, was the second one, which didn't have ANY landmasses, or ice caps, or ANYTHING. (Pictured above, referred to as The Abyss)
I kinda really like when I find ocean worlds with NO land.

A pair of ringed brown dwarf suns. I really enjoyed seeing those.
Plus, the surplus of ringed bodies in EOCH FLYI CW-T D4-6548 is marvelous.

So nice. Oh, right, two of the ringed planets were landable.
That's ace as hell.

Nice find!

There appears to be a quirk in Stellar Forge, where a gas giant can only have moons that aren't rocky or icy ones, if it has a binary companion.

Every gas giant I've seen with "exotic" moons (not rocky or icy), has a binary companion. Such as this one.

Other examples are in this thread: Gas Giant with Four Gas Giant Moons

And the ELW I discovered orbiting a gas giant: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...er-Tourist-Destinations?p=4218544#post4218544

Can anyone show me a gas giant which has HMC/WW/ELW/GG moons, but doesn't have a binary companion?

Can do:
Eafoppy JF-A d12
HIP 106334
Blua Eaec CR-U d3-1587
Hypuae Fraae UT-Z d13-23

Fun fact: three of the above four were discovered by a certain CMDR Matt Graham.

Ta marx. Thought it was a bit strange that a binary was required. Just wondering if there are any with > 1 moon?

Eafoppy JF-A d12

^ This one has 2 moons.

And so it does. Thanks. I should have checked the letter at the end of the name properly.

As currently designed, all Water Worlds are 99.9999% ocean surface. None of them have large landmasses any more (they used to, prior to 1.3), though I think they all have one tiny archipelago hidden on them somewhere. They should all have icecaps, too, though maybe only teeny tiny ones. Like this.
