New record for high gravity landable planet!

[varonica]

Ok you aren't going to believe this, but 45g with a surface temp of 2,600 to 5,200k. Yes that's right 45g with up to 5,000k surface temp.

I will post location as soon as I sell the data but here's a preview!

 

[varonica]

Ok as I said, data sold, here it is;

EDSM - Elite Dangerous Star Map

Just going to see if I can land and get first footfall to make the hat trick, if I live!

 

[Mon Dieu]

I just parked my ship on Kyloall CL-Y g1518 D 1 without denting the bodywork. How hard can an extra 34G on top of that be?

 

[varonica]

Down, zero damage, whew!

Now all I have to do is step out through the door, into 5,000k!

Can't step out, it says the gravity is to high lol.

Anyway that's me done for the night, going to sign out planetside, I expect to see some other people here when I log back in, it's not every day we get a new high G record, and I hold the record for first landing at this sort of G anyway even if I can't get first footfall!

What a find.. A undiscovered named system and this absurd planet. Congratz

 

[Codger]

Impressive landing effort. Too bad about the first footfall, but hey. You're in the record books for sure!

Thank you, and that 5% shield damage was from a drop of about a centimeter, so if you do decide to visit, pack some decent shields, you'll need them. I have my FC in orbit and I will open it up for visitors so you can crash and burn and not end up back in the bubble, so you can have another try!

 

[GroG79]

Going to get my shieldless cutter....

 

[DrinkyBird]

Impressive. I'm sure my paper DBX would handle landing there well...

 

[Codger]

Just curious, did you use the vertical landing technique (nose at 90 degrees and slowly back down to the planet), or some other method?

 

[Mooing]

Congrats! Probably an unbeatable record since it looks like that planet was handcrafted. I think it was meant to be a gas giant.

EDIT: Oh, and do submit this to the GMP. This planet is far more worthy of the title "Planet Pancake"

 

[marx]

Ah, and the star is from a catalogue. Quite interesting that such a planet would form there, and definitely one to splatter test my ship(s) on. A pity you can't disembark, but hey, if the game were realistic, you'd be quite dead if you landed on the surface anyway

 

[GroG79]

Decided to jump the FC over there:

Departure from Kato - 1730 In-game time
FC name: GroG Inc All services (shipyard and outfitting)

Docking is open for all. Bring your boosters and Hull reinforcements packages!

 

[MaultierColt308]

Wow! That is impressive! Time to really test my ships there when I'm back from my actual tour...

Had to be the 'falling leaf' method. No ship/thruster combo is strong enough to point the ship's nose upwards.
Only the magic of vertical thrusters is strong enough.

I bet getting out of there will take a looong thrust upwards with the vertical thrusters.

EDIT: and holy cow, what a find!

 

[HeIlrider]

This planet is Emperor!
True Emperor of all high G worlds!

 

[LifesAJourney]

...until a higher-G body is found.

 

[Torrle]

Awesome find! Absolutely ridiculous. Can't wait to visit this one!

 

[Codger]

No ship/thruster combo is strong enough to point the ship's nose upwards.

I thought the rear thrusters were the most powerful. Not so?

 

[Zieman]

I thought the rear thrusters were the most powerful. Not so?

Normally yes.
Near planetary surface, no, there's some magic involved for the sake of gameplay.
