The server glitch that was preventing me from seeing player-built bases on New Lennon, the Galactic Hub's capital world, finally righted itself so I toured some bases tonight. It's actually less densely populated than the portal world, Gain's Folly, but bases are more evenly distributed across the planet. New Lennon's portal sits right on a lake, with some lovely views. I wonder if I should build something here.
The Pilgrim Star is the system where, in the game's very earliest days after release, one player decided to try walking all the way around a planet, using only the stars and a compass as guide. He documented his journey:

It got some news writeups and he streamed the last hour of the journey.
The planet Dudenbeaumodeme has regenerated multiple times since then. But there is still a planet there, and I get to wondering what it's like these days.
