Highest gravity planet you've found? (Can be landed on)

Hello!

On my journey to Waypoint 7 in the Distant Worlds Expedition, I noticed these 2 planets in a system (12.8747 earth masses) http://images.akamai.steamuserconte...496/59FCA88F9C16FF5AB916DE10CDF7CD9C29C72065/ and (10.6851 earth masses with ring) http://images.akamai.steamuserconte...098/F27D6039FA16E207D289EC6B269A8CA1646618A7/ which are by far the highest gravity planets I've noticed on my journey!

Has anyone else noticed any very high gravity planets which can be landed on? I didn't fancy my chances landing on these in my Anaconda 1000's of LY's out but I'd love to try one day heh.

High earth mass doesn't necessarily translate to high gravity, you'd have to scan them to make sure (there was a post from another CMDR who had found a high earth mass planet which ended up being at around 2g if i remember correctly).

Edit : or maybe it does, but at the very least the numbers required to make them high G planets are far higher than that.

Highest gravity landable planet known is currently HD 148937 3, at 9.7g

My best find so far is 5.22G planet with 44.8 Earth masses. If we count the planets with atmosphere, the prize goes to the Pancake Factory planet: 17.73G with 150.7645 earth masses

Click to expand...

It's a combination of the mass AND the radius (earth radius is approx 6300Km), a larger radius means higher mass but not necessarily higher gravity as density comes into play too, metal rich/high metal content worlds are significantly more dense than say a rocky body.
