The original topic can be found here: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=123273. I'd really appreciate if a mod would move that thread here and delete this one
Here is a repost of another thread I made, that now needs to be here. I'm just going to copy and paste, and link it because others have shared good stuff there too
Note - I haven't updated this for a long time as all of my amazing finds end up in my Deep Space Surveys collection. I'll try to add some of them here soon. Please add yours
I'd like to start a topic where people get to share interesting places they've discovered. This can be places that exist in inhabited space, or it can be places discovered very far out.
My only request is that if someone has found something truly rare, special...read: SPOILER...then do your best not to give it away for everyone. You don't need to keep completely schtum, you can say something like "on XYZ Ab-Z123 there is something very special, but I'm not going to tell you what it is".
Sound fair?
Anyway, here's a short list of cool things I've found:
Vega - this is a nice system that has a populated inhabited planet, but more interestingly, it has a dwarf star that has an asteroid field. It's really something special driving around in the asteroid belt with a glowing red gasball in one direction and a bright blue star bathing it's light on everything.
Diso - another well known system, but what you probably didn't notice while you were doing your "rare commodity rush" was that Diso 2 is one of the dark, glowing metal planets that has an asteroid field. It's only a few ls from the star, so camping there is another surreal experience. Get an audio book, or a lecture, and put it on your headphones while you drift around there. Much better than just sitting in your chair listening to it.
Oduduro - Something unique here: a binary planet system, both of them are Earth-like and inhabited. Imagine looking up at night and seeing another planet with life on it at night!
Arque - Similar but this time the second inhabited planet is actually smaller, and orbiting the first. Imagine instead of a moon we had a blue pearl in the sky? In this case though, neither seem inhabited, at least with electricity users.
39 Tauri - The unique thing about 39 Tauri is that it's main planet (Ad Portas or something) is an Earth like world, but the only landmass is a tiny little island, probably about the size of the Isle of Man. Weird!
Maia - this one's from out of inhabited space, in the Pleiades Nebula. There's something quite special there but I'm not going to spoil it. If you ever want to go to our nearest Nebula, make sure you check this place out first.
Sadr - much further afield this one, 1800ly. A good few hours to get there in a maxed-out Asp. It's a hypergiant, which itself is amazing, but it's also a complex system with 8 stars. Worth checking out. While you are there, hop over to the Blinking Nebula. Pretty nice place, although nothing particularly unique going on there.
That's my list for now, I'll expand it if this thread actually takes off. Feel free to subscribe if this is your thing. Overall I'm personally interested in NICE places, like Vega above. Somewhere really beautiful, where you can cut the engines, turn off flight assist, and slowly roll around adrift in bliss and beauty. But feel free to share anything interesting, unique, worth seeing.
Cheers!
