IMHO the best looking HMCs or MRs are around blue-white stars
Ironic that you should mention blue-white stars. After jumping through a plethora of junk or empty systems I finally came across one with an F star that had a few ringed HMC’s orbiting it. The color of these planets was different than the previous HMC’s I’d come across on this expedition:
Planets 1 and 2 are much lighter in color than the other HMC’s I’d seen on this expedition, much more white than beige. Planets 3 and 4 however are slightly more beige in coloring, but still lighter in shade than the others. All four display the same physical characteristics that seem to be common with HMC’s: monochrome in color save for a couple of areas that are shaded very slightly darker, mostly flat terrain, many little craters with a few large impact craters showing visible ejecta blankets, and not many mountains nor canyons at all. Bland in both coloring and surface features without much variety at all.
The lighter coloring is most likely the result of the white F star, whereas all of the other HMC’s were orbiting red-orange M stars. Truth be told though these four lighter HMC’s are the more accurate colors due to the purer white light, these are more true beige than all of the pictures I’ve posted before. The M star HMC’s are actually a more tan color than beige. Still, despite the wonderful rings surrounding these planets, they are rather dull and boring to look at. Nowhere near as interesting looking as the rocky or ice worlds I’ve logged so far.
Despite some good investigative work being done, this mission appears very far from being successful or over. I’ve yet to find either a metal rich planet or an HMC which displays some variations in its coloring and terrain features. The search goes on….
