Update the database to reflect this?

this is honestly the sort of variation i was expecting to see in the game already. there are some systems with accretion disks (fast spinning asteroid fields) around stars, often T-Tauri whites or red stars, or brown dwarves.

it's a shame black holes have no 4d accretion disk.


it's really annoying that we have no gas clouds or feeding stars, no tidal shape changes (IE i think Ibootes main star should be like a squished sphere with a feeding tail from the other star)

And what threads might they be lol

With the search button on the forum you might be able to find em, prbably one of the Cmdr interested about it is already or have already been there

yeah, but 200x times bigger then the saturn... that could easly fit an complete system just with the ring

i think that's the point. this system could be a window into how systems a little like our own form over time

I went to Beta Lyrae and was disappointed. Nothing at all like the astronomers describe it.

Hopefully future updates will include effects for accretion discs, maybe new effects for red giants too which probably look more like bubbly clouds than huge round stars...

A brown dwarf with a massive ring system? that's insanely cool, would love to see it.

I guess you're not working the Beta Sculptoris Goldrush then - There's a nice view of just such a dwarf from the station there. Worth the drive if you like a bit of scenery to go with your massive profits!

The amusing thing about discoveries like these are that it is 400 light years from us and we speculate on what the object is by the occlusion it creates as it passes in front of the host star. In reality we truly don't know what it is, but the obvious thing based on "wobble" of the star would be a planet, thus rings... when in reality... perhaps...

In a solar system far, far away... it is a giant space station of some sorts.

I would love to see this as well...
