Invisible Planets...

Sun Jan 11, 2004 2:27 pm by Wolfbane

Imagine the setting... You're in the beautiful Shikoku system, blue nebulae all over the sky, when you suddenly notice a set of huge planetary rings off to one side...

You fly toward them, and see no planet... there is however a prison facility around what, judging by the rings, should be a gas giant of almost stellar dimensions...

Fuchi planetoid... a 9m radius sphere of empty space that is completely opaque to solid objects and weapons fire... Sector 6F of the Shikoku system...

Wondering if anyone's noticed any others...

well there's other systems with planetary rings in them but with no planets at them. A rhienland system has one (can't remember the name)

Why do I suspect a lack of sprites and datacards... there is certainly a planetary body registered at the point I found, but no actual planet...

well in my opinion D.A rushed the game to get it out on time and that's why there are certain detailes like the ones you mention are missing

Most likely....

You know, if every set of rings in Freelancer actually HAD a planet then we'd have idiots saying Freelncer is boring, everything is the same.

I get tired of hearing the same moaning and groaning about this and that. If you stay here long enough you'll see what everyone else sees...arguements going completely around circle.

Hmm i actually think DA DIDN'T rush FL. This game is almost perfect. I mean come on, only one patch - and that was for server/technical fixes. Look at games like Championship Manager 4 or Age of Mythology - between them they've had over 15 patches, FL hasn't even had one that has actually edited the gameplay or data significantly. I for one think DA have released a very good, very sound game. As to your original thread "question" - as such - i'll check this out in Shikoku =).

Yeah, there's a few examples of phantom planets about the place.

Perhaps the Ross planetoid isn't so unique, and what you've got around those rings are a couple of growing snowballs that will, someday, become planets...
