written by Dorino on Feb 03, 2008 18:36 Wow, this really freaked me. I was exploring around in NICE 11.5 and, after traveling to the 15th planet from the star (around 3500dyams from the star), I went to it's first moon. Holy crap! It was felisian. I've included screenshots of my visit. Here's a view of the moon from the roof of the stardrifter. http://dorino.net/noctis/00000007.PNG Similair view, can see the planet it orbits, as well as its star. http://dorino.net/noctis/00000008.PNG Landed on the surface. GREAT visibility I'd say. http://dorino.net/noctis/00000011.PNG This is why I like NICE. With one the filters, you can actually SEE! http://dorino.net/noctis/00000012.PNG Some of those critters. http://dorino.net/noctis/00000013.PNG Another filter makes the moon's planet visible in the sky. http://dorino.net/noctis/00000017.PNG What was quite amazing was that this moon's substellar planet provided, although not much light, quite a bit of heat. The surface tempature was about 30'F, amazing for the distance from the star. (which was equivalent to over 15 l.y.) I was really suprised by this, anyone else ever seen such... dark objects? written by Dorino on Feb 03, 2008 18:44 A little "comparison". Although I forget the information about either of these (good thing you can see the parsis in this one!), they're quite interesting. First off, look at this: http://dorino.net/noctis/00000003.PNG So dark! Yet so close to its' star (which if I recall, was a white brown dwarf) It was approx. -250'F, too. Another view: http://dorino.net/noctis/00000004.PNG In contrast, here's an equally close (to red giant) planet. http://dorino.net/noctis/00000000.PNG Somehow I doubt that that is ice, maybe molten lava or something. It's approx. 1500'F EDIT: Revisited and confirmed some stuffs about this post. Also read over the fixes file in NICE, and how "At ~1000K the surface begins to fuse to glasslike substances" The surface tempature is over 1000 kelvin, so this would explain the sparkling stuff. └> last changed by Dorino on February 03, 2008 at 19:50 written by Dorino on Feb 03, 2008 20:29 "at ~3000K the glass and other things liquefy, and more durable stuff is spat up through the now-liquid surface to form islands of solid stuff" It's 2500K in these screens. What also freaked me a little was that there is no pressure! You're floating, or atleast that's what I grasped. The red ground also appears to pulsate! http://dorino.net/noctis/00000037.png http://dorino.net/noctis/00000038.png Panorama: http://dorino.net/noctis/00000039.png Map: http://dorino.net/noctis/00000041.png An unstable: http://dorino.net/noctis/00000024.png http://dorino.net/noctis/00000025.png This one was actually pretty close to its' star if I recall, yet it's so cold! And here's another unstable... but quite different. Far from its' star. http://dorino.net/noctis/00000034.png http://dorino.net/noctis/00000035.png Here's two REALLY NICE LOOKING non-consistents. The first one I named "middle earth", not after earth, but after the fiction it reminds me of. http://dorino.net/noctis/00000030.png http://dorino.net/noctis/00000036.png EDIT: Two new shots of the planet in the first four pics of this post. One confirms my hunch, you are floating... The ground is moving up and down, you are hovering over it, and the red ground is indeed sliding back and forth. F2-menu: http://dorino.net/noctis/00000042.png From roof: http://dorino.net/noctis/00000043.png r'lyeh sweet r'lyeh written by Neuzd on Feb 03, 2008 20:42 Really nice pictures, I like them all! written by Dorino on Feb 03, 2008 20:43 Neuzd said: Really nice pictures, I like them all! Thanks! I'm really interested in visiting other people's finds too. If anyone has anything interesting please share! After all, I'm sharing my parsis! Also, two new pics of the "2500K" planet. written by Dorino on Feb 03, 2008 20:54 Also, reccomendation for any phototaker: Don't listen to the "tip" in this section that says not to go to browns/ runaways! Nor the one that says to avoid thin-atmos! These stars tend to have planets extremely close to them of either nonconsistent, thin atmo, or rocky/cratered types! This makes for great pictures (http://dorino.net/noctis/00000004.PNG)! written by Dorino on Feb 03, 2008 21:08 Another red giant close-up, this time with an unstable! many shots from the 500 kelvin surface. http://dorino.net/noctis/00000045.png http://dorino.net/noctis/00000046.png http://dorino.net/noctis/00000047.png http://dorino.net/noctis/00000048.png http://dorino.net/noctis/00000049.png http://dorino.net/noctis/00000050.png Curious, the surface of this planet ia 500K, but the roof of the star drifter when orbitting it is 900K written by Dorino on Feb 03, 2008 21:51 Oh my god! First time I've encountered a planet with this hot a surface. The surface is 100% lava... Blue lava, even. 7800K on the surface, 11000K from my stardrifter's roof. http://dorino.net/noctis/00000062.png http://dorino.net/noctis/00000063.png Roof: http://dorino.net/noctis/00000064.png written by Dorino on Feb 03, 2008 22:26 Oh god! I dunno if I wanna land here or not! Here's a copy of my current.bin if you want to see where I am yourself: http://www.dorino.net/noctis/CURRENT.BIN It's 35000K on the roof of my drifter. S00 are HOT. Orbiting first planet, I am. ~62,540 degrees Fahrenheit Wow, I decided to go to the first planet and take some pictures. Great big sun! http://dorino.net/noctis/00000067.png Panoramas, tempature visible. 30000K! http://dorino.net/noctis/00000068.png http://dorino.net/noctis/00000069.png http://dorino.net/noctis/00000070.png Lander, right after a huge wave hit me... All the waves are ultra powerful, and gigantic. It feels like an earthquake! http://dorino.net/noctis/00000071.png It seems that the first, second, and third planet are so close to the sun they are affected by the melting in different manners. On an unrelated note, I found some nice rings (different planets) http://dorino.net/noctis/00000066.png http://dorino.net/noctis/00000065.png written by Dorino on Feb 04, 2008 05:09 Okay, this maybe explains why "unstable" planets are unstable. http://dorino.net/noctis/00000080.png http://dorino.net/noctis/00000081.png http://dorino.net/noctis/00000082.png http://dorino.net/noctis/00000083.png At one time (and multiple times) the ground engulfed my planet lander. I couldn't see it anymore. It seems like there was multiple levels of terrain, as occasionally I would "fall through" to a lower/higher level. It was really, really, wierd. Also, note the gigantic transparent towers. Ya, those are strange too. written by Dorino on Feb 04, 2008 22:58 My first S09 felysian. I must say, these things are breathtakingly vibrant (and violent, lightning storm started while I was there and waves knocked me back even when I was on coast!) Roof-view: http://dorino.net/noctis/00000085.png Sun, from surface: http://dorino.net/noctis/00000086.png Bright, vibrant landscape. http://dorino.net/noctis/00000087.png All the "trees" were very flat, they had 1-3 arms. None had four. http://dorino.net/noctis/00000088.png http://dorino.net/noctis/00000089.png http://dorino.net/noctis/00000091.png Ferns were bright, too. http://dorino.net/noctis/00000090.png Great pic of the landscape. http://dorino.net/noctis/00000093.png Some weren't as bright and had darker leaves. http://dorino.net/noctis/00000092.png Waters were quite beautiful too. http://dorino.net/noctis/00000094.png Right after this, it began storming. I headed back to the drifter. written by Dorino on Feb 07, 2008 21:49 New S05 Felisian. 21955700;5280402;-17799224 Planet 3. This is, as far as I know, a new one... It's quite warm for a s05 planet, being about 270K... 25 degrees fahrenheit Roof: http://dorino.net/noctis/00000209.png http://dorino.net/noctis/00000211.png Surface: http://dorino.net/noctis/00000213.png written by Dorino on Feb 07, 2008 21:57 So far, the S09 I visited shortly before, has had seven felisian worlds in it. Of course, Number One... Which is already posted. Number 2, Second Life http://dorino.net/noctis/00000140.png http://dorino.net/noctis/00000139.png http://dorino.net/noctis/00000137.png http://dorino.net/noctis/00000143.png I can't remember what I named this one. Anyway, Number 3. http://dorino.net/noctis/00000145.png http://dorino.net/noctis/00000150.png http://dorino.net/noctis/00000151.png Bivrance, number 4. http://dorino.net/noctis/00000169.png http://dorino.net/noctis/00000171.png http://dorino.net/noctis/00000170.png http://dorino.net/noctis/00000176.png http://dorino.net/noctis/00000178.png http://dorino.net/noctis/00000179.png Quatro, number 5 (not four) http://dorino.net/noctis/00000180.png http://dorino.net/noctis/00000181.png http://dorino.net/noctis/00000182.png Sixtant, Number 6. http://dorino.net/noctis/00000184.png Great pic of it's fellow moons. http://dorino.net/noctis/00000183.png Seven Life, Number 7. http://dorino.net/noctis/00000185.png http://dorino.net/noctis/00000186.png http://dorino.net/noctis/00000187.png http://dorino.net/noctis/00000188.png krasnyj bibliotekar written by Serpens on Feb 07, 2008 22:18 Number five looks splendid with its colour and brightness. I must play Noctis some more tomorrow! written by Dorino on Feb 07, 2008 22:24 It's quite a nice system, I highly reccomend visiting it via parsis in NICE. It's got 80-odd minor bodies, each with moons. I haven't yet explored every one of them.
