Shi***u Thing

If you are stuck in a mission and do not know how to continue, this is the place to ask for help. Missing that elusive Level 10 Shield? Don''t know where to find the lost Ohtori ship? This is the only place where spoilers are allowed!

Well, for those of you who have passed through shi***u system on your way into kusari space, and seen those rings that are surrounding...nothing. Just rings in space. Well, if you havent felt like flying over there, there is an invisible planetoid that you can shoot and run into but cant see, and there is a prison station you can dock at that is directly in the middle. Hard to miss. Theres nothing of any importance in that station, this was just posted for those curious.

There are several of these "mystery" rings. Some can be explained to a degree, such as teh one that had a jump hole in the center. Other just seem to be floating around nothing. The most logical explaination is that some planets were removed at teh last minute but the rings were forgotten and never removed.

In the middle of this ring is a planetoid (minature planet). Its 45m wide, invisible, and its name Fuchu Planetoid

The Unknown has already been known by something else..

Microsoft screwed up the programing in the game. Didn't put in the image file. I think Bill Gates was smoking dope when he did this system because supposedly u can fly into the sun. ??? Don't know for sure but thats what i heard.

i have thought about this and consulted some books (ok i know it sounds nerdy)
and i've come up with a simple answer: no planetary rings can exist without a planet/planetoid to go around...of course because there is no gravitational pull to keep it in orbit. Therefore since a wormhole (jumphole) does not have a center of gravity that attracts from all angles, it can't support a debris ring around it...therefore there is no explanation for any of those rings that just float around.

My guess would be they forgot to put a planet in there...although one would think it wiser to put a planet in first and then a ring if it fits in.

Anyways, the rings in the game look crappy and have no definition so it makes no difference
