[DW2] Distant Worlds II - Waypoint Scouting Event

[Orvidius]

I'll submit this as a POI (it's already in the GMP as "Undine Haven"), since it's practically right along the northern exit from Sgr-A* along the Perseus Stem section, just over 8.8 kylies from Sgr-A* itself. I was considering looking for a basecamp location here, but there are only two landables, not very scenic, not tidally locked, and fairly distant from the neutron star. The terraformables make it worth scanning though.

For the submission instructions, it says a maximum of two screenshots. Is this correct, or was it meant to be minimum? I'll assume that I'll need to include exactly two for any further submissions, for now.

POI

POI
"Undine Haven"
Phroi Bluae LS-B d13-744

Consisting of a neutron primary star, and two secondary stars, this system is a true aquatic haven. The further of the secondary stars, at a distance of about 28kls, is orbited by no less than six water worlds, all of which are terraforming candidates, as is the high metal content world that shares the same star, making it a high value source of scan data. The term "Undine" refers to mythological water spirits, and first appears in the alchemical writings of Paracelsus.

Unlike the others, I was not the first to discover this system, but it was too stunning to reject.
I first discovered the landing body I chose, and there are several more untagged bodies in this system.

Waypoint: Caeruleum Luna

Body: A1D
Distance from SOL: ~22 KLY
Gravity: 0.22 G

I didn't want the thread becoming too pic heavy and no fun to load/view - but if If they're in spoilers I guess you can post as many screenshots as you like. I'll amend that request in the 1st post

Basecamp candidate submission:

Basecamp: Tranquility Valley
Region: Perseus Stem
Type: Planetary Nebula

System: Phroi Bluae QI-T E3-3454
Body: (moon) 2 A

Surface Gravity: 0.12G
Coords: -59.6, 128.4

Description: A planetary nebula 8,400 lightyears away from Sagittarius A*, along the Perseus Stem portion of the Distant Worlds 2 expedition. Light blue skies surrounding a neutron star system make for some spectacular environmental views.

More details: I chose a landing location next to a valley, where the planet overhead is clearly in view. The moon is tidally locked, and will maintain that view angle. I could have opted for a site easier to spot from orbit, but this moon didn't have a lot of obvious landmarks, and I wanted to make sure the gas giant was just above the horizon with the rings mostly horizontal. It supposedly has iron magma volcanism, but I didn't spot any during a brief look around.

The moon has three of the main jumponium components: Yttrium, Vanadium, and Niobium.

I wasn't the original discoverer of this planetary nebula, but most of it was still untagged when I found it.

Phew! [where is it] That was close!

Basecamp candidate submissions:

Both of these are in the same system / planetary nebula, just two different moons. Obviously both shouldn't be accepted together, but it gives a choice of landing sites.

System: Lyaisua SJ-Z e7708
POI name suggestion: Blue Rhapsody Nebula
Region: Galctic Core / Perseus Stem
Type: Planetary Nebula

Basecamp: Hazy Basin
Body: (moon) 4 A

Surface Gravity: 0.26 G
Coords: 62.83, -163.02

Description: A planetary nebula 5,587 lightyears away from Sagittarius A*, between the Galactic Core and the Perseus Stem portion of the Distant Worlds 2 expedition. A large supernova remnant, with varying shades of purple and blue.

More details: I chose the rim of the large crater, since it is filled with a thick green haze. The views are better from atop the rim than from inside the crater.

This is a "green" system, with all of the jumponium components available.

I wasn't the original discoverer of this planetary nebula, but most of it was still untagged when I found it.

Description: A planetary nebula 5,587 lightyears away from Sagittarius A*, between the Galactic Core and the Perseus Stem portion of the Distant Worlds 2 expedition. A large supernova remnant, with varying shades of purple and blue.

More details: Landing site is at a canyon that makes a "figure eight" pattern, easily visible from orbit. This places the gas giant at a highly visible angle over the horizon, since the moon is tidally locked, and will always face the same way relative to the planet.

This is a "green" system, with all of the jumponium components available.

I wasn't the original discoverer of this planetary nebula, but most of it was still untagged when I found it.

According to edsm with thanks to Ghost Giraffe, the next collision close to the Launch date would be, 17 November 3304 and 30 March 3305 (and from my calculation, 11 August 3305)
The last collision event took place on 26/2/3304. It is estimated that each collision occurs after 134.2975139 days.
Preferably we should arrive a week or half a week beforehand or calculate collisions more accurately using orbital mechanics.

"Degenerate Trio"
Near The Gallipolis region.

This looks fairly close to being on the route back. Would be cool to stop back here and get to land on the moon there. I found the system back in 3301 and haven't been back to it since, though I do plan on going back there sometime anyway.

Trinary system with 1 black hole, 1 white dwarf, and 1 neutron star (all "end of life" star types). The system is also very old, nearly the known age of the universe, which makes some sense, given the state of the stars in their life cycles. These may be the remnants of first generation stars.

Also the system has two terraformable terrestrial water worlds with life, one with a landable moon. Unfortunately I have not landed there yet as it wasn't an option back in 3301.

This system is up a ways above the galactic plane, providing a nice vantage point, but should still be fairly easily reachable by most ships.

A distinct large crater near the south pole of the moon would make for a decent landing site, also featuring some compelling blueish color variation – will be interesting to see how it looks after Q4. If this site is considered and more specific landing coordinates are needed, let me know and I can race out there to get them.

This POI tourist destination system was submitted by me and used and named by Frontier previously as "Degenerate Trio," which is fine with me.

I just did a Google search for it and found a YouTube video someone else has made of the system here...

As an aside, embedded images hosted on Imgur are no longer, or at least not presently, showing up. Let me know if I should edit my submission or if you already got the info from it you need, if you would.

I have many, many posts with images on this forum, and going over each of them to get the pics working again is more hassle than I have time for, but naturally I'll try and make an exception where I can and when it's more pertinent.

Cheers.

It seems all the images submitted to this thread are fine and aren't effected by the imgur issue.
