So I found a terraformable water world...

I'd love to see some volcanic activity resulting from proximity to things like that. Like, a seemingly pristine Earth-like... covered in glowing scars, due to a large moon orbiting a bit too close.
They found a real exoplanet orbiting a pulsar but nobody's talking about terraforming it.
I've seen some procedurally generated stuff out there that doesn't quite make sense (earth like planets orbiting stars with low metallacity) but this takes the cake. Is there another star in that system? Maybe it's close enough to that planet. That neutron star will wipe your credit card if you go there though.

I've found many terraformables now orbiting neutron star only systems, its quite bizarre. I havn't found one with an earthlike yet but i think its just a matter of time since CTF water worlds are possible.
I also found some of them. Also two terrestrial / earth likes around neutron-stars ... Really strange 
Why's that?
Gravity doesn't work like that though. That neutron star will actually have less mass than the main sequence star it evolved from. Those tidal forces are dependent on proximity to the object - which hasn't changed.Tidal forces. Surf's Up!
It's a bit like the analogy that if you were able to crush the earth down to a point where the escape velocity became more than the speed of light (about 16mm in diameter), essentially creating a black hole, the moon would happily continue orbiting it with no change.
It's the same amount of mass - just in a smaller volume
Though I do see the appeal of 3000ft tall breakers
