Rings with no planets? What gives.

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!

Rings with no planets? What gives.

I encountered a set of planetary rings in the Shikouku System with a Battleship and a Prison called Fuchu moored off the trade lane nearby.

Where is the planet or is it a graphic glitch in my system?

If you'll notice, the prison ship is right smack in the middle of the rings. There is a similar set of planetless rings in the Frankfurt system, around that system's prison ship. It must be debris from the prison ships sent into orbit around them- it is also a handy way of finding them. Whenever you see a set of rings with no planet, it's a good bet there's something else in the middle.

Fuchu Planetoid is at the center of those rings..........it shows on your Solars List, and you can click on it, it's just you can't SEE it !!!

Actually it is a JH to Dresdan in the middle of the Frankfurt rings.

I actually went there.

You can see it but its just an ordinary asteroid of no great impotance.

impotance? lol. they're just debris and space dust caught in the gravity wells of the prison ship(s) or solars. don't worry, no glitches on your end
