Just visited the above system whilst engaged in the Glorious HIP cataloguing project.
I came across planet 11 E, which has just occupied my game time for about 4 hours.
I have been impressed by some planets in Odyssey, but this one is imho the best yet.
There is a good variety of potential habitats for the 7 organic types that live there.
I did manage to find the 3 required samples of 6 types but the 7th fungoid type eluded me.
This despite my first landing being right next to a fungoid thing, but I didn't start with that one.
and then of course I couldn't find it again.
The terrain and geology of this planet is very well done and make it well worth a visit, and finding all 7 organics is quite a challenge.
Of course there are down sides :
a) the surface colours can change in an instant from white to brown and back, which is disconcerting, but I'm sure this is on FD's list of glitches
b) the fact that the sampler only deals with one organic type at a time is just silly. Even if it managed 3 or 4 at a time, that would make a much better game. You would have to remember what you are looking for - of course the game doesnt tell you what data you are currently gathering.
Anyway,here's a picture - which doesn't do it justice, and visit if you are in the area.
