HP 42160 - beautiful, a near-perfect system.

[Archvillain]

We each have our own little preferences in systems that appeal to us. For me, this system is the most beautiful I've seen.

A small system consisting only of a string of nothing but worlds, their hues like jewels on velvet. Every one of them valuable. Fully half of the system is terraforming candidates. Life abounds in multiple places.
If we could make a system home, this would be it for me.



The only way it could have been better would be if that gleaming blue jewel was the Earth-like it looks like instead of a terrestrial water-wold.
Ah well.

Excellent find! Those Hipparcos stars seem to be biased towards goodness. Which is fine with me! HIP HIP Hurray!

My apologies for that last bit... its been a long day and I am very tired.

 

[Surly_Badger]

Lovely indeed!!!

 

[Whiterose]

Nice find...was the one at the end a water world or a methane?

 

[Zenith]

I would call that the Pandora Bracelet system.
Nice find!

These planets look pretty big.
Beautifull system but i wouldn't call home something that can crush your legs and squeeze you with gravity.

My perfect system is the last system in this video. It's a system sitting 2,700kly above Sagittarius A*, looking down on the entire galaxy - and it has an Earth world. This is my dream world.

That's quite a night sky for that world. Very pretty.

And that's quite a name for a CMDR. Very awesome

I'm trying to imagine the cultural implications for an alternative history where humanity grew up with that sky, and I can't do it justice. Right from the dawn of civilization, our stories and perceptions would be different.

Sorry this wasn't intending to hijack the thread, I was aiming it mainly at the op. I think his system is perfect.

Edit: oh wait you are the op. Man I'm so sleep deprived after that journey and after making that video.

Let's postulate. So no pyramids. That's pretty big.

A religion that believes their species is the top of the galaxy because they are the greatest, the chosen. Until someone invents relativity.

A highly developed astrophysics quicker than we developed it.

A lot of the HIP stars seem to have nice systems associated with them. Perhaps 'cus they're all bright F, O, B and A's for the most part?
