Funniest / Weirdest systems you've came across on your ED journey by far!

that would be skardee 1.

nobody has mentioned the pareco system here yet? a bunch of stations orbiting "nothing", and you can fly from station to station without supoercruise. in fact ithey are orbiting a comet, which are simulated by the stellar forge, but there are no visuals or interactions with it in the game.
You might be able to fly "to" them without supercruise, but since all stations are separate instances, even if you flew to another station without SC, there wouldn't be anything there; "dropping out of supercruise" at a location is basically a loading screen. No SC, no loading screen, no station.

It's no different than trying to fly to another system without a frameshift hyperjump; yeah you can "get" there but there won't be anything there since the hyperjump is the loading screen.

Are you sure?
You know, people have succeeded in flying an SRV from planet to a station...

Again, "reaching" a station is dubious since it doesn't necessarily mean the station actually loads in, it just means they reached the location marker; there may not be anything there once they get there since the game hasn't registered the proper loading cue for the station.

Nope, they flew the SRV in.

This is an apt reply:
This is factually not true. You can fly from station to station or station to planet or planet to planet. None of them are in their own seperate little boxes. People have got their SRVs into orbiting stations.

There are no little boxes, there is just one big box with the solar system in it with a means to get to these places faster using a process called supercruise.

An SRV going from one planet to another:

They are absolutely not all in one big box together. If you supercruise towards a station at lowest speed possible, even if you're less than 50km from it you won't see it because it hasn't loaded in. Supercruise and normal space are two different instances.

Also flying from planet to planet in normal space may be a thing but it doesn't mean all the locations, bases, and geological formations will load in once you get there. There are very specific gameplay cues that need to happen for things to load in.
 
I'm pretty sure in system stuff will load as you approach it regardless of how you approach it except signal sources that only show up in super cruise.

that's entirely different from loading other systems via high jumping.
 
Oh. Learned something new today, even if only a norwegian slang for male genitalia.
Swedish you mean. Norwegian is just a dialect. ;)

'Kuk Bureau' and 'Order of Kuk' are factions with a reason for a chuckle even if they can be perceived somewhat gender discriminatory.
 
Since we're talking about swear words...

give it a try and see for yourself.
that's why pareco is worth a visit (because you can in fact fly from station to station in any system, or surface to station etc. - it just does not take that long in pareco, so great to see for yourself).
