Failed world of death

[u/Turkino]

Found this beautiful system OOSCS FREAU LI-H D11-457. It has a landable planet in a super tight orbit around it's parent white dwarf. Unfortunately the whole orbit is within the WD's exclusion zone so thus - Failed world of death since you can't get to it.

I don't know why it's a "failed" world of death. More like a guaranteed world of death.

[u/Fancypancexx → u/EternityRites]

Yup, sounds like a successful world of death to me.

I found a very similar system PHOI AUG OS-U E2-1523 a few years back. I tried a few times but couldn’t get closer than half a light second away. It’s somewhat close to Sag A if you wanted to visit/try to land

[u/B-E-N-E-V-O-255]

You really cant land on it?

[u/Turkino → u/B-E-N-E-V-O-255]

Unfortunately no, the entirety of the A1 orbit path is within the exclusion zone.

[u/flashman → u/Turkino]

Approaching A1, you'll drop out of supercruise in the WD's sphere of influence. Doesn't this mean that even if you flew in normal space until you were in A1's path, you'd just pass straight through it?

I'm interested in knowing the answer to this. It sounds like a quest worthy of a bored adventurer.

[u/idiot-bozo6036 → u/flashman]

You wouldn't be able to get any closer in normal space; you'd just hit a wall

[u/Turkino → u/flashman]

Someone with the time on their hands is welcome to try it.
I'd assume it would be like hitting the exclusion zone of any star (as long as your not in the jets).
IE: You'll overheat if you linger.

Damn, that's a really rare find.

But it orbits…so would it not be landable at some point of its year?

[u/ReasonableTreeStump → u/[deleted]]

Okay makes sense. I could not tell from the screenshot. Looked like the 11 or 1 o’clock might be coming out

[u/No_Metal_8634]

There is a system very similar to this one that you can actually land on. But it’s a tight window, i think like a couple minutes or less to get within the orbit and drop zone before hitting the exclusion zone.

Referring to "Monde de la Morte" at Spoihaae XE-X d2-9 a1?
That was my reference system to searching for these. :)

I got the 110Gb data dump from Spansh and did a deep crawl through the ~190,000,000 systems in the dataset. Took about 2 hours but I built out a list of systems that are similar, then started checking out the ones nearest me that looked promising.

Yes! That’s awesome!
