I would really like to go there after you finished actual tasks dear Frontier :)

And what is more interesting. Some of Stellar Forge worlds are counted as glitched, but it shows that real universe can be glitched too :)

I don't see why it would be so implausible to have a gas giant closer to a star... albeit I've always been assuming "captured body" rather than "It formed there with the solar system to start with", which seems less likely (though I suppose not entirely impossible if the world is massive enough and it's a low intensity star as the above). Sure, gas giants are massive objects... but so are stars.

Will they add it? Wouldn't know about that one, touching the stellar forge now could/would cause changes everywhere else, even if it's something as relatively minor as a planet.

The only case I am aware of post-launch is Trappist-1 which happened to be more or less in the same position with identical bodies as a procedurally generated star, when it was discovered.

And Frontier aren’t “adding a lot of systems manually” all the time. Yes, the game has a fair few stars which we’ve discovered in the real world but the (attempted) realistic generation mechanism would be affected if you added a completely new body as it works off of mass values to determine star distribution. Maybe a 13 Earth mass planet might not have any knock-on effects, but tossing a red dwarf in unless one exists with similar parameters in a roughly identical spot, probably would.
