Tau-29, Leeds, interesting questions... - Fluffyball - 04-19-2015

So I was chilling lately in Tau-29, when suddenly:

It wouldn't be anything surprising, if I wasn't aware on how our Saturn looks like through a very cheap telescope.

So, the question is. Is this possible, that Tau-29 may have a rather distant gas giants that weren't included in game? (Tau-29 is pretty pocket.)

The other interesting thing is that when jumping into New London from Manchester, you are able to see a star right in a way of jumping. No other star is so clearly close in the background, so may it be New London? If yes, might it be that NL and Manchester are in fact a double-star system?

Of course you can't see the Manchester behind your back then you enter New London, but I believe it's caused by the fog in the system.

It's all in the conspir[A]cy

Most likely it's only a distant star / saturn clone, only visible on the starsphere. Trough it's interesting how you can see it in both ways. Little things like that add do the game's charm.

Disco messed it up, but original FL's starspheres were painted with their surroundings in mind. No surprise there.

Why do you think that it's Saturn?

It's meant to represent another galaxy or something like that (I think)

I'd say it was a zoner tear but I'd be more inclined to think it was just a larger star.

Read it again. I said I know how Saturn, that is ringed gas planet, looks like.

It also look similar to a spiral galaxy from the side.
