World Of Death - Lite

[MattG]

A few days back I saw a post on reddit by CMDR Xarmir who'd discovered a pretty interesting ice world around a white dwarf. He hadn't attempted a landing though, and it piqued my interest so I paid it a visit.

It is not as impressive - nor dangerous - as the original World of Death, but it provides some great views and isn't entirely without risk. The body orbits it's parent in just about 4 hours, and spends maybe 1/4 to 1/3 of that time in the exclusion zone of it's parent.

The system is Dryoea Bla GN-S e4-67, and it's body B 1. If you're in the area it's definitely work a look - but maybe sell your data beforehand, just in case.

Added to my list of places to visit!

Glad you like my planet! Congrats on the first footfall.

I love Neutron and Whit Dwarf views. About 3000ly from there at the moment so will certainly swing by and check out the landside view.

I eventually arrived and it was well worth the visit offering some amazing views.

Interestingly when I came to lift off my ship was completely ejected from the surface and placed just outside the exclusion zone as shown below. Note sure if this was related to the relative positions of the two bodies at the time and being able to safely depart, or simply a bug.

I had the same happen once - I think it’s unhappy placing your ship in the exclusion zone. A shame, but my ship was quite happy to be spared the otherwise-melty planetary escape
