Michael Brookes - Any chance of adding Proxima b into 2.2?

[cptdavep]

Following the discovery of Proxima b I'd love the chance to visit (tourist mission maybe?) in the upcoming update. Is there any chance of adding it in or converting the planet Eden already orbiting Proxima to match the characteristics of b?

What sort of planet do people think it should be? Sounds like it's likely to be tidally locked and therefore not have the magnetic field required to avoid it being baked by radiation from Proxima, but I guess it could be a water world or maybe terraformed.

Any opinions from Hutton Orbital Truckers? It's your territory after all!

A dupe thread, but there's already a water world orbiting Proxima Centauri in game - it's called Eden.

Thanks for the reply Michael. Are you able to alter the orbital period etc to match?

We don't know such things about it and most likely won't know for some time.
