Ah i see. Thanks for clarifying this. I thought all the HMCs are open for landing.
Post your weird systems!

Ah i see. Thanks for clarifying this. I thought all the HMCs are open for landing.
I just came across a system in the neutron fields that had a lone F class star that wasn't special by itself. However, there were BINARY RINGED ammonia worlds orbiting it around 3000 LS away from the star. One of those AW's had four moons. How rare occurrence we are talking about?
I would say it is pretty rare. Good find Cmdr!
This planet have some big rings.
I got knocked out of supercruise. The closest thing was a planet not bigger than a couple of centimeters on my screen, couldn't figure out what is was that did it, until I looked at the map again. It was the rings of that planet

You must have been freaking out when you found that one.

Never seen a planet with such big ring. Only stars have bigger than that. It is really cool. Do you a picture of the planet?
No i'm afraid not. It was one of my first exploration trips (was flying a Hauler at the time) - I decided to jump out of the system fast, as I didn't know what it was that knocked my out until I looked at the map later on. But I think I might revisit it at some time and get some shots. It it not so far away from the bubble.

I stumbled upon a similar ring a couple of days ago, and couldn't see anything...
The two inner rings were normal, but the outer one was enormous.
Perhaps the cockpit view wasn't wide angle enough to see a ring this wide, but there was nothing no matter where I looked.
Speaking about rings, this system was a nice final station of tonight's session...
Just dug out the unedited screenshot, it's the
stumeae et-f d12-7473
system if you want to go look
I have just been back to the planet. Here are some pics

You can see the ring is very fade, but its there.
I got knocked out in to normal speed again, I when I tried to escape I keeped getting knocked out of super cruise taking 1% damage every time - even though I wasn't mass locked. So I had to jump to another system to get away from it.
Funny place

Ah, one of those invisible killer rings
I had to move the browser to my secondary monitor (which apparently has different gamma settings) to be able to see it.Thanks for sharing.
I found an interesting system with similar ring few days ago. Will go back there to explore in detail after DW ends.

Something i believe is not very common: an ELW orbiting L class dwarf. Was quite surprised to find an ELW there
Not so much a crazy system as one mad planet:
I jumped into the system and was greeted by this:
I'd moved in slightly and was actually scooping at this point.
The star from the point of view of the planet:
The crazy thing about this world? The orbital period:
0.3 day. The thing is, you can SEE the planet going around the star:
What a great game!

Just found a Black Hole and a Herbig Ae/Be orbiting each other. Death and life so close together. Amazing stuff!
And yes, it's not tagged and I don't care...

Really nice way to look at it! And I have NO idea how that could ever happen lol
Same here. The other star in the middle is a regular T Tauri star. How on earth (no pun intended) does that fit? A black hole and an early stage massive young star (YSO?) in one system?
Any of our Professors any idea?
Go Home Stellar Forge, you're Drunk!
If we ignore the age of the black hole and assume it is billions of years old, it can in theory have moved to a stellar nursery and might even have helped the baby star form.
*not a professor but happy to get burned for my stupidity*
The solution is quite simple. No the stellar forge is not drunk. That Black Hole formed form an initial ~53 solar mass star. It lived a VERY BRIEF life. Roughly 500,000 years. It is just at the intermediate mass range where if it had low metallicity, it would turn directly into a black hole upon collapse without going supernova. However the Herbig star also only 28 Million years old, is still in the process of collapsing into a main sequence B star. So here we have life and death in the same system. The laws of physics are intact.
