A nice white dwarf/red dwarf combo with a convenient moon:

I think I parked for the night on the planet that Dante's Inferno was written on, surface temp a balmy 1,091 Kelvin:

Wait, it's tidally locked so "parked for the night" really means "park while I sleep and my ship bakes in the sunlight"

And there you sit all night long, yet the first system tomorrow could have a Y or T dwarf with a surface temperature half of that or less and if you try and sit within a few thousand kilometres of the surface you will over heat and then explode in short order.

It's a funny old galaxy :D

...what happens if you log out of the game(Save/quit) when you're not in a space station out in the middle of nowhere? Do you load back in roughly where you were or does it just drop you in a general vicinity? Especially if yo'ure parked on a planet...does it actually remember and put you there? :O

And thank the heavens for that!
I must admit though that I sometimes get a bit superstitious and fly out some 500 lightseconds perpendicular to the planet orbits before I log out, just to be sure Im not in the way of any celestial bodies when I log back in. I blame space madness.

I do exactly the same, although in my case it's more to get away from the star than anything else.
