Summary:

The record holder for highest gravity landable planet, at 45 g.

Notice: This POI shares the same star system with a prior existing entry in the Galactic Mapping Project (GMP). You can visit the original entry using the link below:

    Via Gravitatis (planetFeatures), KOI 1701

 
Description:

Discovered during a survey of previously unvisited KOI catalogue systems, Via Gravitatis (KOI 1701 1) with its 45.3 g surface gravity is the record highest gravity for a landable planet, as of 3311. March 13. The second-heaviest one has a gravity of 15 g, making this planet truly stand out from the rest.

Landing on this planet might sound nearly impossible, but as multiple Commanders have demonstrated, it can be done. Pilots who dare to attempt it should exercise extreme caution, as even a slight mistake will be fatal.

Disembarking from the ship under such high gravity is of course impossible: it is a testament to RemLok's engineering that the pilot's flight suit can even keep them alive under these conditions. One can at least admire the surrounding terrain, which also features surface volcanism, via the ship's external cameras.

IMPORTANT: For those interested in knowing: The Gravity Strenght is similar to The Lithobreaker, The Mighty, and other 9+ G bodies. This was evaluated in the 3307 High G Summerslam expedition, which had its members landing on the previously mentioned High-G bodies. We all concluded that the gravity felt was 9G+ rather than the absurd 45 G.

I 'experimented' with the gravity well and determined that 'terminal velocity' (thrusters disabled while in hover at 100 km) was almost instantly reached - and does not exceed 500 m/s vertically...'pancake landing' a ship with 4 pips to shields may even allow survival...

Disappointing that gravity freefall is not accurately modeled.

(Here is a 'thruster mishap' that I survived while landing on Lithobreaker - 11.2 g):
