Tau-37 Object

When flying in the Tau-37 system when I get within 10K or so of the Blue Dwarf, an Unknown Object pops up on my target list. From what I can tell it is at the center of the star - it is always in the same direction as the star but is a few K farther. Does anyone know anything about this thing?

i remember there was a thread about this object... the verdict was it was a scraped object that was meant to b in the game and then was taken out

It's the secret Nomad Base where you can buy the Nomad Fighter as well as the Nomad weapons, shields, and thrusters. You can also fly missions for the Nomads. Just fly straight for it until you detect the docking bay. Ignore the sparks.

Mwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha HA!

oh yeah, the "warning: entering solar corona" doesn't mean a thing, and when your hull indicator starts going down, that's just a bug. sorry, i think i'm sticking with the partially removed object idea.

The "unknown" thing is this in the Tau-37.ini:

[Object
nickname = Ew01_planet_core
pos = -35, 0, -97
archetype = gravity_buoy
spin = 0, 0, 0
atmosphere_range = 300
burn_color = 255, 222, 160
ring = Zone_Ew01_sun_ring, solar\rings\protoplanet.ini

There was indeed another post about it some days back, but it's just a small rock that emits radiation I believe.

Ohw and by the way. This is the object that has the rings, not the sun itself.
