What is there to see in Achenar?
- Thread starter Mythmere
- Start date
It's pretty much like most systems currently. As far as i know the only touristy thing to do is try landing on one of the planets that has high gravity. Maybe some time in the future they'll make it worth visiting.
Planets and stuff.
Like pretty much any system.

It's always worth paying a visit to Capitol, just to marvel at the beautiful work they did after we managed to get the Devs to change the planet to match it's lore

Also a trip planetside to Achenar 3 to amaze yourself at it's 6g atmosphere and recall one of the greatest community pranks performed by East India Co.

Not much to do unless you like trading, I imagine it will get a lot prettier come 2.2.
To be fair though, last time I was in Achenar the only thing I did was interdict some ISS and wreck a little havoc, you could do the same if you are inclined to do so.

That's a breeze.
The true adventure is to take a T9, give it a D-rated thrusters, fill it to the brim with cargo and go break a speed record. (mine is 920m/s)
I just sprayed my keyboard with coffee!
Didn't knew this was done, what an awesome prank, many new craters on the surface that day.

This much is true.
Achenar, Sol, Alioth, all the powerplay faction headquarters, there's nothing different in any of them.
Yep. At least those three simply have to be distinct.
I wish Achenar was more interesting.
There was once a capital ship there, not sure if still around though.
The Emperor ! If you have the chance

The 'Achenar Challenge'
The Imperial capital system of Achenar has recently attracted the attention of thrill-seeking Commanders of the Pilots Federation. Achenar's third planet has become a proving ground where bragging rights are earned in what is known as the 'Achenar Challenge'.
Proctor Ulrich von Braun, whose only concern until recently was the safety of Imperial Naval Academy students during high-g training, posted the following advisory:
"The force of gravity on the surface of Achenar 3 is approximately 6.7 times that of Earth. Any who wish to hazard this so-called 'Achenar Challenge' are advised that they do so at their own risk. Pilots accustomed to landing on planets in the 3-4 g range are much more likely to alight here safely. Underestimate Achenar 3 and you may never leave."

I have been in that neighborhood quite a lot. Nothing special to see there.
I hope that FD will eventually add special Imperial station designs to the game.
And capital systems like Earth and Achernar should get some unique structures too.
But I guess that is something for the future.

Having applied a bit of logic and strategic thinking I went there hoping to find good opportunities for reputation.... that didn't work out too well.
Achenar itself should be an interesting sight it modelled correctly - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achernar

Since the fall of ddf and the "vertical slice" theory this is all i hear about this game
