New bug or new feature?
- Thread starter Pirin
- Start date
Happened to me today.
While uncommon arriving at B stars does happen. Doing so when they are close together might be a behavior added in 2.2 to help avoid arriving between them (I think this was the case for me today).
Judging by your forum rank you've been exploring for some time now? Isn't it great we still notice things we haven't noticed before? I'm near 10k systems now and still see interesting stuff, even in the bubble.

Yes, i am not new to exploration. Have 31000 jumps and 740000ly total distance traveled on my account. And this never happened to me before. I dont think it is a mechanism to avoid arriving between stars as this is still happening. Last time was just an hour ago.
Probably just a weird 2.3 bug...

must be itThey only decreased the chances, they didn't stop it completely. It still happens.I dont think it is a mechanism to avoid arriving between stars as this is still happening. Last time was just an hour ago.

It is certainly not 2.3 related I've had it a few times before, especially with real life star systems.

IME there's a number of hand-authored systems set up that way, but I've never seen it on a proc-gen system, except for close binaries where the jump-in brings you close to both stars and by chance closer to the smaller of the binary pair. Was it a proc-gen system, Pirin?
They removed the chance of dropping into a star, but if two or more are close enough, dropping at the usual distance from the primary can still put you at a dangerous distance of the second or third one, no change there.

If I understand correctly, the issue (OP) isn't dropping "into" a Sun (crashing/overheating), but arriving at not-the-A-Sun?
This actually has always been this way - we arrive at the Star that has the greatest Mass.
In most cases, that's the A Sun. But in some cases, it's not.
Unsure if they fixed it, but in V2.2, the arrival Sun type listed in the HUD for example was always the A-Sun, even for Systems where the arrival Point is another Sun (highest Mass).
LALANDE 25224 is a nice example :
A-Star is a scoopable Class F Sun, indicated in HUD when initiating the Jump.
B-Star.. is a Neutron and actual arrival Point, since it has the higher mass
AFAIK this has surprised numerous CMDRs in the past, planning (and HUD-Indicated) to arrive at a scoopable Sun, but finding themselves at an unscoopable Sun instead. Arrival just wasn't the A-Star...

I wish I had footage of these. I'm sure it's happened in one or proc-gen stars. If it happens again I'll save the clip.
Maybe I was arriving in a way that looked like the B was in front and A beside. I don't know.
Btw, off-topic but saw your name in the Trappist-1 system @Jackie (among many other places around the bubble)
Well done on that.
I'm nearing 10k systems and still just a new kid lol
Another reason to throttle down when jumping. Those jets freak me out lol

Yes, it was proc-gen: Gludgai AA-A G0. Actually i do have few pics from the event, not sure why i didnt post them in the initial post
So, this is where i was dropped
Looking left the main star can be seen some distance away:
And this is the system map:
How strange! (I would rep you, but the forum crashes each time I try for some reason.)
I'll swing by that system next time I'm out that way.

I assume that it would be this from patch 2.2
If you still close to the system it might be worth trying to jump in from a different angle to see where you spawn

I suspected that is what happened to me yesterday. I could see both stars arriving and I landed at the nearest one. It was the B star. I'm fairly sure it was proc-gen and I had a feeling I'd read something about it back when 2.2 was launched.
