Celestial Objects and Other Things to Find!

I know it is too much to ask... But to have a chance to explore some space phenomena - that would be awesome

Edit: I mean like black holes, wormholes, some space-beings, anomalies etc.

 

Traveling to pocket dimensions.
Seeing weird spacial phenomena, having your ship stretched by extreme gravity.
Having the ship's alloys be affected, for better or worse...
Going back in time to witness the beginning of the universe.
Accidentally seeing the moment you were conceived.

 

Well yeah That kind of crazy things. + If they kinda mixed FTL into the game... I wouldnt have to buy any new game in like... Well ever

 

Living Planets. Preferably ones that are sentient and have a mustache forest.

 

Awesome thoughts everyone! I've gathered stuff I thought was cool and included it in the OP with respective credit, and will also post it here (so that it can be commented on separately since I added my own thoughts to most of the ideas and personal definitions to a few things as well)
-----------------
Other people's thoughts that stood out to me that had either not crossed my mind or did not include (comets, black holes) - in the order posted (followed my my own thoughts in parentheses):

• Mining colonies - Katarone - i.e., a Budong mining colony (can be organic or mechanical, though 'colony' kind of implies organic to me, at least when referring to a Budong)
• Ringworlds - Caidoz - vast bands of material that encircle an entire star; the atmosphere is held to the inner surface of the band by centrifugal force, creating a massive habitable area (could contain massive colonies and would be infinite in size; could contain defenses, shops, and outposts as well)
• Dyson spheres - Caidoz - an artificial, hollow planet built around a sun in order to gather its energy (if found, can be used to gather your own energy or produce high-end tech; could be equipped with turrets (found this thread also which has good ideas; if you break past the shell with the wrong equipment, you could be evaporated/incinerated)
• Nebulae - Caidoz - interstellar clouds of dust, hydrogen, helium, and other ionized gases; are often star-forming regions (can at least be observed, perhaps even visited with high-end equipment in order to gather gases that can be used in equipment and technology)
• Ringed planets - Caidoz - (some could be gas giants, may or may not be able to be visited, but the rings of the planets could be visited physically with good equipment, and would contain strange creatures and be infinite in length if the planet is large enough)
• Pulsar - Caidoz - aka pulsating star, a possible result of a gravitational collapse of a massive star from a supernova, now a very magnetized neutron star that emits electromagnetic radiation (can contain extremely precious materials and would be very dangerous and require special equipment)
• Black holes - Caidoz - places where ordinary gravity has become so extreme that it overwhelms all other forces in the Universe; once inside, nothing can escape a black hole's gravity, not even light (you would be prevented from even approaching one until you had upgraded your ship to a certain point and have a massive amount of fuel reserved; if your ship is well-equipped, you could possibly survive entering, but time would slow to a stop for you, and you could end up in some undetermined, strange place) (I had thought of black holes, but did not originally include it because I thought it was so far-fetched haha)
• Binary systems - Caidoz - or, systems with one than two stars (one thought at the moment: awesome)
• Comets - Sir_Animus - Halley-type comets or no, tail always points away from the sun; can be mined even at the tail for rewarding materials, but would be extra dangerous (you could perhaps mine down to the "dirty snowball", or its nucleus which is comprised of rock, dust and frozen gases; could perhaps only be visited with increased ship and teleporting technology and better personal equipment since the comet is moving so fast and is so dangerous due to the volatile materials)
• Space hulks - Sir_Animus - massive decayed hulls of spaceships lost millennia ago (basically just a idea of ancient, grand-scaled space ships, if I'm correct
• Space-faring creatures - Anris - could be landed on, not able to me mined at all or built on (could really make for some cool or supermassive creatures, i.e., Budong - a very dangerous and horrible creature)
• Machine planets - Anris - different than space stations or dyson spheres; planets made entirely of metals and machinery, completely artificially built into a sun's orbit (could even be the planets of the Robot race; would have a completely different experience and gravitational rules than similarly-sized actual planets)
• Wormholes - Crimson - essentially a shortcut through spacetime itself, where objects that enter one end of it end up on the other; could allow jumping to totally different and undeterminable/unknown areas of the Universe or galaxy, saving fuel and time - blind sniper
• Pocket dimensions - Anris - (guessing this refers to those occurring in the Marvel Universe or in Runescape, containing totally different realms and greatly diverging rules of space and physics)
• Living planets - The O5 Director - possibly sentient with mustache forests (could be an actual creature that has collected minerals as its crust over millennia, or just lack minerals and be completely organic, much like the organic anomalies are in a way) (the idea of sentient forests reminded me of an awesome thought I had but forgot to express!)

(working - more to be added in time)

 

I would love to see actual meteor fields, that are almost like jumping puzzles, where if you fall and miss a jump, you fall into space, which would be the same as dying. It would be like a bunch of really small to medium sized floating islands, and the gravity would let's say be a bit different than normal, as it's space, but there isn't a core, it's just somewhat close to a sun or something that would still pull you "down" (think like an asteroid belt maybe around a sun.)

It would be procedurally generated every time, so giving someone the co-ords would give someone the asteroid belt, but the asteroids would change each time, and where you load in would be different each time (since it's constantly changing...but maybe only when you're on you're not on that world/map/thing to make coding easier)

There would be a percentage chance of each type of asteroid spawning, with the majority of them being maybe just stone, or a basic iron, but each one has a chance to be something better, slimmer and slimmer with each rarer material.

Also, smaller meteors would fall from the sky randomly which would be somewhat explosive, making it so you don't need NPC monsters (as they wouldn't really be able to figure out the jumping) but instead they would blow things up similar to that stream of tiy testing explosive weapons. Thus making it a bit more dangerous, as either you could take explosive damage and die, or the small asteroid or bridge you made to get to the next asteroid that you're standing on, falls apart under your feet, making you fall/float away to your death.

I almost made my own thread about this one since I included so much details, but I figured this would work too, good luck summarizing 8D

 

I like organic anomalies idea.

 

What if you could get stranded inside a wormhole? If one end closed while en-route or something. It could be like a spaceship graveyard inside of it, a region of space where all the trapped derelict ships, asteroids or what have you congregated.

 

Asteroid belts, Y-dwarf stars (starts that have a temperature around room temperature, They really exist!!!), super cold stars (could contain minerals that can be used for high-tech ice weapons), stargates (artificial wormholes), and lost planets (planets with no star) could be good additions.

 

How about debris spaceship? Used by ancient races etc. You could be able to salvage something in here. It could be also interesting for RP purposes.

 

Black Dwarf: A black Dwarf is a hypothesized theory that when a White Dwarf expels all of it's heat and energy it becomes this. To find a Black Dwarf it would be extremely hard since it emits no light or radiation. If you were land on one you may be able to find some material that may be important.
