for the most part i love to explore but recently i got tired of exploring for a bit and decided to stick around one system. I picked the Lala System,  25,10,5,   they have a carbon dioxide planet called Hughes Colony. its easy to enter and exit. about 12.50 AU to reach the planet as you leave hyperspace. it's Allegiance is the Independent league and some of the surronding systems will give you a occasional Dog fight so i can enjoy a short dog fight.

So until i decide to explore again, i will be hanging around here.

 

have any of you done this?  were you have a System as your base of operations for a bit?  what system was it?

"I never went this far!" Hmmm... I think you're a Landlubber.

Wow! That's a beautyful planet! What's this? Green lava?

@walterar: Probably 🙂 The problem is that I keep restarting from scratch. I recompile pioneer very often, to see the new changes and, sometimes, I have to throw away my save files. 🙂

yes it is thats why i picked it as a base.    if you get closer to the planet you will see the light green is actually a beautiful sky blue.   so i would say its a giant jungle planet.

ok found a solution just now i hope it keeps working,  fi you get stuck in something like this, go to another star port and land there then you can return and land without the App crashing.

My base is quite distant from the core worlds. It's Teng's Claim in the Essand system (3,70,-2). Nevertheless, there are many populated systems around (all independent of course) and some unexplored as well.

 

And isn't the planet beautiful?

The green planet looks soooo acid 🙂 I like it and that red one is stunning. I think you should take notes about them and post in your Galactic Exploration topic, DevinJAM.

Oh, it is a shame you lost it, but maybe one day one of us (because I like your idea of exploring and I started doing it myself too) or other players will arrive in that system again to take notes 🙂

By the way: When pressing <TAB> twice, you get a special screenshot view without cockpit controls and instead the name of the (nearest) planet, system and sector coordinates in the upper left. If you take screenshots in that mode you'll have the coordinates on it (you can notice that on my screenshots above).

 

Though, if something significant changes with the universe or planet generation algorithms, the planet may no longer be there (or look very different). Or as Douglas Adams put it:

 

"There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened."
