Do it!
But please post a video or tell us the location so we can do it too.

Can't see the picture because imgur is blocked on my work PC but if it's anything under 9.75 go for it.
If it's over 9.75, go for it anyway but tell us where it is too because I'll be able to break my record
Do it!
If you crash create immersive gameplay by becoming a famous wreckage!

It's 21.7 earth masses for those who aren't able to see the pic.
I think he's referring to 9.75G's, not earth masses.
if my math is right (and there's a good chance it isn't), it should be about 7.1G's

I say drop out of SC in high orbit and see how fast and how quickly you start falling.
That should give you an idea of how crazy the decent might be.
You can always boost back out to SC at that point.
and please share the location... i want to try it!
its a bit of a way out, roughly 2500 LY from the bubble. BLEAE THUA RC-K C22-16
I had a little fun with it, after exiting Glide I was falling fairly quickly! I had to quickly switch on my distributor (which I probably should have done sooner!) and then boost up and out again. What a rush! Pressure really stacks when you know that you cant just select rebuy!
Sounds like this find didn't break any records but its my personal best.
Fair enough. Tried looking into how to calculate surface gravity myself. It's all Greek to me haha. Never been strong in the math department.
I just see 21.7 E.M. and think... Better be careful trying to land there.
TBH, the only records that matter are the ones you break, personal or otherwise! Congrats on a successful experiment, CMDR!
I was indeed referring to gravity and I guess OP didn't have a detailed surface scanner on. I'll swing by next time I'm out that way.
I shouldnt do this on a friday evening but I think with that radius and mass you end up with a gravity of 22.041m/s, which is about 2.25g. May seem low, but it has a massive radius that compensates for its mass. If anyone wants a shot at it, its
g=(G*mass (in kg)/radius(in meters)^2)/standard gravity (=9.8m/s).
G=6.67*10^-11, mass (earth mass is 5,972^24kg) and radius are in the screeny.
g=(G*mass (in kg)/radius(in meters)^2)/standard gravity (=9.8m/s).
G=6.67*10^-11, mass (earth mass is 5,972^24kg) and radius are in the screeny.

yeah thats about right. from my travels across the void ive encountered at best 7g planets and they where a lot smaller in radius, normally around 5-6k radius.. want high G look for 30-50 EM at around 5-9k radius.. a lot of pilots mistake the . period for a comma , in the earth masses.

Hopefully!
