On a recent trip I found this White Dwarf system- SPOIHAAE XE-X D2-9 where a landable metal rich world is in close orbit.It has an elliptical orbit of roughly one hour.At it's far point is 2.5ls from WD but at perihelion (near point) comes to a deadly 0.06ls in!
also,looking at the orbit, the far point is in the jet of the White Dwarf itself and as the world approaches the star it speeds up rapidly to annihilation!
I have tried a few times and nearly succeeded on landing on the world's surface (within 50 metres before the FSD warning sounded and all hell broke loose) but is so hostile landing,collecting materials and leaving intact may be very difficult and the window of opportunity may be narrow.
So the challenge is just that.
One point for each iron or nickel collected;two points for each chromium or manganese collected;four points for each tin or molybdenum collected;six points for any arsenic and nine points if you find some technetium!
The system is around 600 lyrs from Colonia.
Good luck with this.
