* To qualify, world's must be landable in Horizons and within 1,000 LY of Sol.
* If anyone wants to provide screenshots, I'll link them to the world name.
* If one or more values match, the world closest to Sol will be listed.
* Contributors in capital letters typically indicate a CMDR name.
* It's also worth checking out Commander Wolzan's Planetary Research Facility which is updated regularly.
* Please help me complete the list. :) Updated to post: #80

oh my goodness that coloured text is hard to read!

Thank you very much for the stats though. They are very cool and gives me a list of things to go looking at when Horizons is released :)
 
Sorry I thought the coloured text made it easier. Is your forum theme set to default? Here's how it looks on my screen:

Also, I've only looked in one system. :) I just added the first ones I looked at (that's why all the planets are in the same system so far). I'm hoping other people can beat those numbers.

Updated. Filled all the spaces. First thing in the list is already unbeatable...I doubt the shortest orbital period will ever be beaten either:

Shinrarta Dezhra A 1 has exactly 1.00 g (0.99 g displayed on the surface).
Sorted. There were a few other record breakers in that system too. I added them all.

Theres a 6G + World in Achenar as an FYI.
Imagine it's gonna be difficult taking off from that one. Thanks dude, added. There was another one in that system which broke a record, 100% metal content world.

Thanks, I couldn't get the exact details (not in game) but people have reported most of the large ships are simply impossible to land. Even with a small ship like an Asp one chap said it took him 5 tries to land and survive :p
 
Does someone know a world with a 30-40km high mountain or very deep chasm ? there was one in the devs streams but so far ive only found 10m high mountains.

I'd say look for worlds with cracks or lines on the surface. Europa maybe?

have to agree about that colored text.. my eyes my eyes!
 
Where's the gravity numbers. Gravity should matter when landing on a planet as it did in Frontier Elite. Haven't seen a video yet of anyone having problems with under rated thrusters and too high a gravity for a nice pancake on the planet. Or did they nerf all that fun stuff?
 
I can change it. Tell me what colours are best for you? Also let me know - are you using the white or black background? (Black is default.)

No colours :)

Use a table BBCode..

eg:-
FEATURE | Value [System name / World name] | Distance from Sol | Contributor
EARTH MASSES LOWEST: | 0.0000 [SOL / ENCELADUS] | 0 LY (GLYN-IE) |
EARTH MASSES CLOSEST TO MOON (0.0123): | 0.0109 [SHINRARTA DEZHRA / AB 2 H] | 64 LY | Janichsan
EARTH MASSES CLOSEST TO EARTH (1.0000): | 0.9024 [HIP 19176 / 2] | 353 LY | EROS MADELUNG

Each line (table row) is the same format over and over etc.... See example code here:-

Moderators: This thread doesn't relate exclusively to the Beta. It's a list of properties for planets which you can land on in Horizons and will also be applicable when Horizons is released. Also, the information can be obtained by people who just have the regular game. Perhaps it shouldn't have been moved to this forum.

If you try landing on a world with high gravity, it's pretty tough. Try ACHENAR 3.

Sorted.
