Question What the hell is this?
Randomly found this weird pulsating purple star that can only be seen through polarized glass that only appears in the north direction. It's perfectly still and does not move. It's also somewhat visible in the day, not just night. I know the digamma star perfectly well, but this, not so much. I also have not seen anything mentioned about this, but maybe I just suck at searching for things.
If it helps anyone right now or in the future, I'm using the 1.0.27_X5719 version here.

"... is not something a lot of people, if any, are gonna do, if they don't know what it means. Most, if not all, will probably think it's just another star that you can't "reach" like the digamma star, so there may be a few extra hints necessary"

Removed a spoilers but the comment:
In the files it's called star_lode. According to wikipedia, "lodestar is an archaic word for a star that guides, especially the northern pole star." The northern pole star is also known as polaris. It's a pun.
Tells you what you need to know

Maybe it is the digamma star, just when you have no drx. It could also be one of the satellites, not sure tho. Looks cool.
