I am out exploring, heading back to Colonia, up to the top of the galaxy, and then to as far away from Sol as I can, but I came across this... It is an extremely fast neutron star, and in the same system, are 2 water worlds... Firstly, how rare are the extremely fast neutron stars, secondly, how rare is it for habitable worlds to orbit them?
Is This Normal?

It's fairly rare to have ELW, WW, or similar, around neutron stars in the game but not actually as rare as it might seem like it should be.
As for fast spinning, I'm surprised more of them aren't really, since as far as I know they can actually be rather fast in real life, i.e. pulsars.
On the other hand, there seem to be larger stars volume-wise that spin much faster than they should in real life.
So... yeah. Stellar Forge up to some old tricks, I suspect.
Still a cool find to see stuff like that now and then.
...
This is one of my favorite systems I've found so far in the game. Black hole, white dwarf, neutron star, and two terraformable terrestrial water worlds with life, one with a moon. ↓

But yes, I have also found some systems that are closer to what you described with just a neutron star and water worlds.

Fast spinning neutron stars are fairly uncommon but not super rare. When I travelled the neutron highway from Sgr A* back to the Bubble I came across 5 of them out of the roughly 100 NS I must have visited on that journey.
What's interesting is, that this only seems to happen when the NS is in a very close binary system with another star. For some reason.
Regarding two water worlds around a fast spinning NS, is this the system you came across by any chance?
If so, that would be a neat coincidence.

I've found quite a few ELWs orbiting the the binary star of a neutron star. Never found one orbiting the actual neutron or both.
Here's a couple I've found ...
(Particulary sweet as the ELW has a landable moon!!)
