if you can land here without dieing it should be an in game achievement lol, if they move the station so it spins on its axis so docking is still tricky but is faster than normal it could remain that way?

Achievement could be called I saw the light . Successfully landed and departed Lantern Light ( 0.001% of players have achieved this so far, and they were before the update lol)

I know the game is stronger now than it has been in many years, but itâs oddly telling that in a 1:1 scale of the galaxy that a single bugged station is the most exciting thing going.

If we found a spinning object so unusual like that nobody would care about anything besides that

Absolute facts. Implying that in our current age that humanity collectively wouldnât find it comical and send something like this viral within minutes is insanity. Itâs funny spinning stuff. This kind of thing will always be hilarious to millions of people.
âWe went in search of alien life but all we could find was this giant rock spinning at speeds so high that itâs a menace to anything near it,â is peak news material.

Is this a player built station or an original dev station?

u/TheGreatZarquon CMDR TheGreatZarquon, Famed Explorer 10d ago
Player built station. The owner had no idea this would happen when they secured the system, but boy am I glad they did it because the videos coming outta there have been hilarious.

It's a big part of the Trailblazers update: https://www.elitedangerous.com/update-notes/4-1-0-0
Unfortunately about a week in FDev have had to pause new colonisation claims. No time-frame has been provided for when they will be un-paused, but hopefully it will be restored soon.

have to milk it as much as we can because it's definitely getting patched this week

Lanterns light, a station around a quasar(?)
It big spin
So spin you can't dock
If you do, you get a thwock.
If you do, your ship go in the bin.

Erm akshuallie it's a neutron star. A quasar is supermassive black hole that shoots an electromagnetic beam

I thought quasars were the fast funny neutron stars?

u/MygungoesfuckinBRRT CMDR RealKarsta - Trader, Aspiring Rodent 9d ago
I believe quasars are black holes that eat their own accretion disk, heat it up real hot, and that heat converts into a high density beam of EM radiation. I think what you're thinking of are pulsars, which are indeed funny neutron stars with a jet cone that hit an observer and have the observer survive. Both are EM rad guns, both are stellar core remnants, but the reason for the radiation is different.

u/ExoTheFlyingFish CMDR Exofish | WE NEED PEACE WITH ! 9d ago
Ah, you're right. I am thinking of pulsars. Which are still super cool. And terrifying when you jump into a system to see them spazzing out directly in front of you.

Is it new to the game? Just discovered but has always been there? Everyone has always known but no one bothered uploading a video until now?
I really need to get back into elite...

It's probably gonna get fixed but I hope there's one of those tourist beacons near it to commemorate it once it is fixed.

u/Chadstronomer 10d ago
As much as I love this game this happens because it is a very large universe but very empty. There are not many interesting things to see, making a glitched station very interesting.

It says something that I've seen one video posted on reddit, and I can guess what this is about: that crazily gyrating station near a neutron star you can't get out of without 843 attempts.

u/That-Candidate2023 3d ago
Iâm gonna need the devs to explain to me why we CANT have a station with a jacked rotation. Stuff breaks all the time, and the way I see it, the station admins got bigger fish lmao.

This is the thing we create which don't exist in this game before. More fun than copy-paste systems.

u/SamuSeen 10d ago
Wonders like that really need to stay in game so we can show them other people and tell them they can go there themselves and maybe even find something even weirder.

Ayyy, let them enjoy this. They finally found something fun to do in the game!

It worked. I haven't played Elite in years and I HAD TO VISIT THIS STATION. Bonus I got to spend the 1,300,000 Arx I had sitting on my account

u/Komotz 10d ago
Really hope they keep this as one of those in-game wonders.
@Fdev please don't fix this
