In this post I will we describe the types of the solar systems that can be encountered within the game by the player.
The types of solar systems are currently implemented are the following:
- Solar System with a common star at the center.
- Nebula with energetic phenomena.
- Black hole at the center.
- White hole at the center.
- Solar system with an active star at the center.
- Solar system with asteroid field.
The most common type of solar system. Usually it contains a handful of planets and an asteroid field with resources that can be mined if the right component is present in one of your spaceships. Alternatively you can use your might to rob the harvester ships that are mining these resources for the benefit of the dominant faction of this solar system.
Some of the planets in this type of solar system are inhabited. If your relation with the faction that inhabits the planets is friendly or neutral you can put your fleet into orbit around these planets and make trade, receive missions or retrofit your fleet.
The planets and asteroids that are not inhabited can be explored if your fleet possesses a probe launcher and at least one exploration probe. Quite often in your journeys and if you have strong enough sensors you will find artifacts that can also be explored with an exploration probe as well.
This is an energetic nebula. Staying for too much time there can be fatal for your fleet but this place hides interesting surprises.
If your fleet has the black hole stabilizer component you can traverse the black hole and reappear at the center of another solar system that contains a white hole, in an unknown sector of the galaxy. You should be careful however while traveling because a hidden threat is lurking at the center of the galaxy ready to expand.
This type of solar system contains mainly dead planets due to energetic CMEs that happen quite often. The resources found there are abundant since very few are willing to risk their lives to harvest them.
Possibly the remnant of a supernova, this solar system contains several asteroids (containing mostly gold) many of them waiting to be mined but also here you will find some of the most notorious pirates of the galaxy. If they are not hostile towards you, you can trade with them, retrofit your fleet and receive missions.
