Hi Guys
While out exploring, I found a blackhole system with a White Dwarf - Main sequence companion. The White dwarf, similar to the original 'Planet of Death' has a planet with a highly eccentric orbit, passing less than 2 light seconds from it.
The system is : SYSTEM : EOS AUSMS KX-U E2-831
The ice planet is also an example of an Ice Giant, with a surface gravity of about 1.7G, usually at a temperature of 170K - 330K, fairly warm for an ice world, BUT a testament to the level of detail FDev have put in is that, the temperature is truly dynamic and calculated on the fly rather than being a simple temperature map... at the closest point the temperature gets up to about 800-900 Kelvin
Probably the best thing iv found, certainly the most unique.
here is a video of the find, it includes some orbital mechanics and calculations since the orbit is 6.2 days, so not wanting to waste time, i figured out exactly when the nearest pass would be... and logged in 30 mins before.
