I was travelling through the system when I suddenly came across a what could’ve been a fully oceanic planet. It looked like one from space and when I entered the atmosphere, I saw a vast ocean, I couldn’t land my spaceship to chart it. At this point I’ve actually started to think that I’ve discovered something super rare! I even attempted to park the freighter as close as possible to jump from it and discover the planet on foot and used several maps to find just a single building on the surface…

…except there only was emptiness. A big endless ocean. Every landmark that the game has pointed to me was leading to the ocean. There wasn’t a single island, a single piece of solid surface to land the ship. I was amazed by this rare sight because, well, as you know, usually every oceanic panorama is kinda stained by some weird-looking isles that ruin the view. This time, it was only water. I even managed to “drown” my ship and fly underwater (not sure whether it’s possible under normal circumstances) for a while, took some pics and left because I couldn’t do anything about this planet except openly stare at it and think about the fact that we don’t have an option for water landing yet.

The biggest surprise arrived when I re-visited the system. The planet came back to its normal scorched biome look. Sad. Can we get oceanic planets in the future? pls ^-^

While NMS doesn’t have its own Solaris yet, something really close is nevertheless quite achievable… hehe

That’s me flying underwater. Hope the ship insurance will understand that I’ve got an issue with the air filters…
