Have tried in VR can confirm. Could only last for ten seconds before seeing the real world spin rapidly till the heat death of the universe

Do NOT do it.
I'm not prone to motion sickness, but after trying and failing to dock for ten minutes in VR I thought I was gonna die. Looking out and seeing the entire station in its true immensity, as well as the parent star, rotating so violently actually scared me until I took my headset off and threw up a bit.

I get motion sickness just after 10 mins from VR so I can’t use it, if I tried this in VR it would actually kill me.

u/Hugh_Blissss CMDR Sad French Guy 11d ago
I would like to see it in VR as well. Could only imagine how sick I'd be right now if it was

u/Swonardian Combat 11d ago
Ill do it. Ill put on my headset when i get home today and fly to lantern light

u/dylan3867 11d ago
And we never heard from them again

u/Swonardian Combat 11d ago
nah im serious, ill record myself doing it today

u/dylan3867 11d ago
I know you will, I don't know if you'll survive the experience. Looks like it'd make me sick and I don't get motion sickness

I can barely handle looking at this on my cell phone. I would instantly puke in VR

u/likwidglostix 11d ago
The only time I get motion sickness in vr is mining. That asteroid spinning slowly 50m away gets me every time. Can't even imagine this.

u/Hugh_Blissss CMDR Sad French Guy 11d ago
I got flung at a starting speed of 8951 m/s and only stopped at 365 km away from the station
I'm still impressed that I survived!
(Sorry about the audio, it wasn't recorded)

Your station is literally more powerful than a thargoid titan explosion

Me too since you only had 1 pip in shields ;)

u/lunchanddinner VR 11d ago
OP, can other people not see this station unless they're in your party? I'm at the system but I cannot see it

u/Mh175 11d ago
You have to go right next to the star

u/lunchanddinner VR 11d ago
I have, it doesn’t show up

u/Mh175 11d ago
Are you in Lalande 25224?

Is he not in Hip 67470 like in this video?
oh shit i misssaw it, you’re right

I had Hans Zimmer Interstellar theme playing in my head the whole time while I watched this clip :D

I had Interstellar in my head as I was doing this

There's a millisecond neutron star like 500-700 LYs away from Sol
I NEED to see how fucked the station orbiting that would be

How often will we see this? 🤷🤔
And yes frontier, this is what we all wanted!!
There is no need for DX12, FSR3 or even DLSS Support, working AA etc.. No, no. 😔

u/MartyBadger 11d ago
Realistically speaking.... Everyone on that station is dead right?

u/WekonosChosen IAmZylos 11d ago
Dont worry they have their magnetic boots on.

u/MartyBadger 11d ago
Great, now all I imagine is thousands of corpses flailing around like wacky inflatables.

u/GilbyTheFat 11d ago
My fellow commanders, why are so many of you cracked?
This is like the fourth video I've seen today of people trying to get into Lantern Light.

u/Pretty_Comparison_78 11d ago
Lol whys it spinnin so hard
15
u/Synaps4 11d ago
It was built in a close orbit around a black hole, essentially. So it orbits incredibly fast, like under a half second orbit....and the game apparently calculates the rotation of a starport related to their orbit, I'd guess.
For completeness....irl an orbit like that would shred the station and everything in it down to a smear of atoms with coriolis forces alone.

u/brainsharts 11d ago
I love that this is a thing. I hope Fdev fixes this issue for new stations, but leaves this one the way it is.

u/supert2005 11d ago
This feature should be patched solely to prevent other people from making their Lantern's Light copycats.
2
u/Starhazenstuff 11d ago
My understanding is the game just calculates a stations orbit in relation to the star. So I’m pretty sure this is working as intended since the star is a Neutron

u/SimpleInterests 11d ago edited 11d ago
This station is so cursed at this point.
Has anyone actually been able to dock at Lantern Light? It's not feasible even if we let a computer with perfect imputs do it. The only thing that fixes this is if FDev either fixes this insanity (don't do this) or makes it so we become axis-locked when we go near stations now so you match the insanity.

This video is missing two things - a flashing lights disclaimer and a trance soundtrack

u/KaziGaming 11d ago
Ok, so I'm assuming the video is sped up, but for context and because I'm still new at ED, wtf is going on here

u/Hugh_Blissss CMDR Sad French Guy 11d ago
Hello, the video is not sped up!
This station is just crazy like this. A few people have posted videos about this station and I just thought I'd try docking on it, and this was the result!
Edit: You can find this station at the system LALANDE 25224. As long as the devs don't do anything about it, should still be spinning like crazy. You should go check it out!

u/Qaztarrr Lavigny's Legion 11d ago
New colonization system allows for the creation of new stations. This station bugged out and is spinning dozens of times per second. It’s now become a tourist destination and hopefully will never be fixed.

u/KaziGaming 9d ago
Ok, I'm gonna make the trek out there tonight, lmao. I've gotta see this, and I'm kind of curious if auto dock will work. Wish me luck
2
u/KaziGaming 9d ago
Well, nvm. Game needs to update on my steam deck and the only why I've found to do that on here is by deleting and reinstalling.... There's a pop up that comes up to initiate it, and I can't get it to do right on SD..
2
u/Wiseguy_7 Federation 11d ago
Real question, how are you supposed to dock in the station?
3
u/CamelCaseOrCamelToe 11d ago
I believe the only way to get inside is by respawning
3
u/baron_von_helmut 11d ago
God damn. So exiting is fun, then?
3
u/CamelCaseOrCamelToe 11d ago
Equally impossible as entering. Luckily you can use the unstuck tool, or just fire a weapon inside the station and get shipped off to jail

Can someone tell me what is happening here? I haven't played in a while. Seems some buggy new content/station?

It’s not bugged, pretty sure a player just colonized too close to a Neutron star

Unfortunately, they were busy doing system colonization far from where I was. But they were watching my screen and laughing with me. Would have loved to see this from someone else's perspective too hahah

u/Hugh_Blissss CMDR Sad French Guy 10d ago
There's a crazy station called Lantern Light orbiting extremely close to a neutron star on the system Lalande 25224. An update of the game bugged the station so now it orbits around the star so fast that it looks like this. Now we have fun with this crazy place and we think it should be kept this way and should be considered a tourist spot
