Post your weird systems!

This is a top-down view of a lone gas giant's orbit. It follows a wildly elliptical path around the star...



The star captured itself a "roaming" planet, I guess. And with life in the clouds, too...

Cool!

Here we have four stars, each within forty light seconds of each other.

I just saw a system with 6 stars all within a 170 ls radius. Wish I'd taken a screen shot of it.

One thing is for sure, not going to scan that.

Do it. All the belt clusters and everything. It'll only take a few hours

But when I open the system map I saw this,,,, totally worthless system.

It had me drooling!!

My current entertainment is I am exploring and mining in my Python. When I see a nice metallic belt I go sample a few chunks of metal from it. I figure that the isotope breakdowns in them will allow scientists to learn thinky stuff about subtle variations in galactic formation.*

Got back from my biggest (And probably last for a while) exploration trip on Thursday, and today i am finally able to post the weird stuff i encountered on my journey, so here we go!


Earth-like.. MOON! Orbiting a water world even.
(And there was a ringed ammonia world in the system too)

Ammonia worl- MOON!

A black hole and a class K orbiting eacother inside a planetary nebula, just wondering how that class K star is still alive (the black hole was kinda tiny actually, but still BLACK HOLE)

Baby class O star
(New record?)

I found yet another one of these systems where one star hogs all the planets!.. and it is always the distant one...

 

[CaptainKremmen]

I've found a neutron star with four high-metal-content planets around it, in crazy orbits...

#1 - Inclination: 0 deg
#2 - Inclination: minus 75 deg
#3 - Inclination: 95 deg
#4 - Inclination: minus 102 deg

EVERY rock Ziggy...every rock.

Arare was a bit of a strange system.
Station in orbit around the star, since there's no planets.

There is a thread about this System: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=73265

It appears to be in an orbit around something orbiting the T-Tauri. But scanners picked up nothing, and I couldn't see anything in the middle either...

This messes with my brain!

Had something weird happen to me in local space, I followed an eagle's wake and I was by a station that wasn't there. I jumped before I could clock on to that fact and at first thought it was some secret base and was gutted that I lost it but then I saw on the system map that the base existed - except it was over 100,000 ls away. So it was a bug. How disappointing

I think this is a system you need to honk again. If we assume 60 bodies, we're looking at 60 -4 = 56 asteroids, so 56/4 = 14 in each belt. That is beyond expected average belt size, so there are very likely to be more "real" bodies that you can't see because your honk wasn't processed correctly. Bug.

I just saw a system last night with a single asteroid belt with 11 bodies. Maybe they changed this with 1.3 or one of the patches? Previously everything was 3-5 bodies that I can recall.

I've seen that many before. Not unheard of even before 1.3

Just ran into a T Tauri with an Earthlike. The star was only 204 million years old. Seems kind of short for planetary formation, atmosphere, water, and land. Add another one to the "Earthlikes around weird stuff" folder.

I'll post the system when I get back to Lembava (tomorrow).

Which star is the nearest to my ship ?



Answer:

Neutron stars are amazing!

Probably won't stay Earthlike for very long when the star hits main sequence and changes luminosity.

(I keep thinking it's a waste of money to be terraforming planets in systems with Ts, and then I remember that they're likely to stay in that state for a few million more years at least)

Last night I was scanning all the S171s in NGC 7822, all fairly generic O systems, but one had a wonder. It was a ringed Ammonia world, orbiting an L-type, which itself was orbiting a black hole, which was paired with the main class O star 300kls away. Will edit this post with a picture shortly.

EDIT: And here they are:

I found the Red Loki star:

A Red 'Giant' less than 1/2 the size of Sol. Errrr.....?

 

[CMDR DoubleSkulls]

I just found one of those too!
