Generally speaking, you'll find high G worlds in O, B and A systems quiet easily. Problem is, a great many of them have atmospheres... like the two 20gs I ran across. I think the gravity is the easy part in their case because their atmospheres are extremely dense. Glide mode might be like hitting a brick wall and boom.
I could land on it no problem at all, it's just the number of pieces that I'm curious about
Gotta love the supersuit!That's what your suit is for
Here you go. Landing on a 9.77 G planet.
All credits to gunny, also swear words you have been warned.

Both in the same system. Neither landable until Season 3.
Haha, that atmospheric pressure. Not sure what would be a bigger problem - gravity or atmosphere
Well it's atmospheric, but as far as I know, nothing beats S171 37 8 in terms of gravity. I haven't got an updated post-Horizons picture myself, but using Newton's equation for universal gravitation gives a surface gravity of a whopping 228.1 G, or 2.24 km/s^2.

Finally got round to visiting HD 148937 3 tonight. Most careful landing I've ever made but surprisingly drama-free because of it.
Taking off was funny - went vertical with thrusters and the ship didn't even move for three seconds. Then I let off on the power for a fraction of a second when it was 70m up and I still had my gear down, obviously it dropped like a stone. Fortunately I'd gone in my Courier since I get 245MJ of shields from a class 2D generator and that was enough to survive the second and unanticipated landing. When I took it up again I did it properly, vertical take off, transition to forward flight whilst still keeping full upward thrusters then angleed it five degrees up, popped a heatsink, hit boost and went straight to SC.
Good fun, definitely an experience to try. Nice pic of the approach and a surface shot will be added to the screenies thread.
