It's not "missing texture". It's missing atmosphere; you'll notice the "kein atmosphare" line in the planet description. This is what all water worlds look like underneath the clouds and air.
Of course, it's against the laws of physics to have a "water world" without atmosphere, as liquid water cannot exist in the vacuum of space (it either boils or freezes). But aside from that minor violation, this is normal. These deep-blue airless-water marbles are actually fairly common; I've seen about a dozen of them in the past eight weeks out exploring.
Earth is only 0.02% water and water covers a huge percentage of the surface. Water worlds just have all or almost all of the surface covered with water. There is still a hmcw under the water.

Next time I do my homework, I promise. Space madness, maybe. Wasn't in the bubble since april or so (incl. 1 or 2 weeks doing missions for rep in Colonia). Or it's Far Cry 3 I finally got into the last few weeks ... jungle madness it is then. [wink]
And now back to topic...
Not that weird, but interesting, I hope: Two Earth-likes & one Ammonia World in one system
Edit: DRYOOE PROOE VY-Z C13

Outordy OR-W D1-8:
First planet is a terraformable HMCW with water atmosphere and a surface pressure of 449 in binary orbit with an atmosphereless HMCW which can also be terraformed as well as landed on. I think this alone makes the system fairly unique (I've never seen a planet that is both terraformable and landable), but the next 3 planets are an unterraformable water world with CO2 atmosphere, a ringless gas giant with water-based life and an ammonia world with a metal-rich ring. So out of the 5 planetary bodies orbiting the main star 3 already have life while the other 2 can support humans.

Not especially weird, but it's quite rare for a system to have two Earth-likes with both having moons of their own. Nice find!

I am exploring, over 15kLY from Sol, just past the Scull and Crossbones NB. Found this water world with a strange feature. It looks artificial.
This appearance is also visible on the other side of the planet. I have logged out and back, but it does not disappear, so I guess it proves that it is not some kind of graphic artifact bug. Also it is visible in normal space, as well as in supercruise.

It's the icecaps. Really, really small icecaps. A world that cold should have much larger icecaps, but... it might have something to do with the rather eccentric orbit. Maybe the planet's in "summer", and the game is taking this into account.
You are probably right. What surprised me was how regular is this feature. Like some kind of a monument or starport. Once we can land on those planets I will check it again.
13,734 million is not old for a star like this one its pretty young and the universe is way older then it...
The universe is 13,799 million years old (+/- 21 million). Given that we currently estimate it took around 100 million years for the first stars to form that age is stretching the limits of credibility.
Fortunately that picture dates back to when there were stars older than the universe all over the place, but FDev have long since fixed this.
If you mean having 5 ringed gas giants orbitting another ringed gas giant, then yes. I've seen 2 systems like this so far. However, that is out of nearly 40,000 systems visited, so extremely rare. The strange thing is, the two I found were also with 5 orbitting the one.
I can't find the details of the first one I found. I know it had already been tagged and I think was in NGC 6357, but I don't seem to have a note of it. The strange thing is, I've only seen it with 5 of the things orbitting another. Never 2-4. I've seen the occasional with 1, but something about having 5 seems to be recurring....
Edit: I found the other one. It actually has 6 gas giants orbitting the first, but two of them are rather small and have no rings:

This is probably the most bizarre I've found so far. 292,077 Ls radius for the outer planet! There's a metal-rich planet at over 60,000 Ls from the star! 
Sorry for the silly crop, but, this game does not handle ultrawide displays very well.
