T Tauri with rings

Traveller_GG · May 30, 2015

I didn't know you could get these (apologies to anyone who's posted about this before). I lost 1% of integrity but it was worth it for the screen captures:

On the approach, huge ring system around the star:

Closing in on the rings and looking towards the star:

Now in the middle of the ring system, it was VERY thin:

and then I turned around. I had a bit of a "Wow" moment here:

The bright blue / white star is the main system star that the (multiple) T Tauris orbited.

I've seen a few, very pretty indeed

So they do exist. Awesome. They should be fairly rare. I would expect to see more gases swirling around but this could be one of those smaller systems that only forms Small rocky planets and asteroid belts with no gas giants.

Very very cool. Did you happen to take a screen shot of the system's map with the age, mass, and rings' sizes and compositions?

That's OK. Those are some beautiful pictures! Did you remember the name of the system?

So many good things in 1.3. This game is really shaping up.

You're just trying to make me feel bad now aren't you?

Ziljan · May 30, 2015

OK now I feel like a jerk, and here you brought us this wonderful discovery. Sorry if I'm greedy for info. It sounds like the information is not even in the game yet. So nothing was missed, and certainly no reason to feel bad.

I'm typing on my phone in the morning, not a good combo.

Traveller_GG · May 30, 2015

To be fair - I normally screen shot the system info when it's something interesting but I got so carried away seeing a ring T Tauri I forgot to!

Kolato · May 30, 2015

I think i have info for one myself, will try to find it after i reach this giant.

EDIT : Sorry guys, checked my F10 folder and steam screenshots but i never actually took the system name :/

think there was a few in this system alone.

Read your thread today, then not too long after stumbled upon this system. I play in the rift so had to nip out change a few settings so I could snap these couple shots for you. Cheers, Olmis. (PS your pics are great OP +1)

And a close up of the larger one -

The complete system -

I found one of these myself on my trip out to the bubble nebula. Beautiful place!

Ziljan · May 31, 2015

Amazing! Keep them coming! I am creating a list of must-see places in the Galaxy to celebrate 1.3.

Kalpa · May 31, 2015

Yeah, they do exist. I broke some records with one earlier this week. (And here's hoping this publicity stunt for our record keeping project gains more followers now!)

Traveller_GG · May 31, 2015

I think we've found one of the really beautiful places to visit in the (game) Galaxy. Some of these shots are stunning!
