Look at that 99.28.

Good luck reaching some of those

Uh, none of those are high eccentricity - they're high inclination. Not the same thing (and high inclination worlds are nowhere near as rare as high eccentricity ones)!

First one has e=0.9992, second orbits a WR star at e=0.9668, last is landable and has a 17 day orbital period at e=.9222

 

[malenfant]

First one goes from 0.019 AU (9.5 ls) out to 47.84 AU!
Second one goes from 0.167 AU to 9.87 AU (probably gets REALLY HOT at closest approach!)
Third goes from 0.01089 AU (5.45 ls) to 0.269 AU

My actual personal record so far (I hope to find 0.999x and 0.9999 ones soon):

Periapsis at 0.008684 AU (This is pretty darn close!), apoapsis at 13.35 AU.

This one is orbiting a Brown Dwarf. Look at that orbital period...
Periapsis at 0.81 AU, apoapsis at 28.75 AU.

and i thought this .9939 was special. would love to ride this through perihelion

 

[Ozzie_J_Isaacs]

In the system Eock Groa ZD-H c11-0 iI came across a gas giant, with the largest eccentricity for me so far, of 0.9981
This gives a perihelion of 22.95 LS and an aphelion of 24.517 LS

I spotted this one... not the highest in this thread and no landable bodies sadly. It does have a weird right angled turn at the furthest point though.
