Comets

So, we've landed on a comet. That's exciting.

Reminds me of something I think DB said in a video. "Comets are in the game, you just can't see them yet".

Anybody else remember that? I can't find the video now.

I remember it. Can't remember where but, I did see it. I suspect there's a lot they have in that we haven't seen yet.

The "Stellar Forge" mechanism generates systems with more "things" in it than the game engine currently supports. I expect that's what is meant.

We've seen that ourselves first-hand. When Beta 2 dropped, it gave us the system maps... which showed asteroid belts at certain locations around stars. However, that version didn't give us corresponding places to target and visit. They were a concept Stellar Forge doled out, but Beta 2 didn't do anything with it. Then, with the coming of Beta 3, we got to target clusters of asteroids in line with the belts indicated in the system maps.

Maybe Stellar Forge "does" comets, with their orbits and time-based positioning - but they haven't been implemented in the game world yet.
