HereSome people have asked whether they can land on Europa in Horizons. Well, they can. Here is a short unedited sneak peek of Europa from orbit, flying in supercruise then orbital cruise. Still a few rough edges, but getting better. Some settlements get highlighted as we pass over (a dotted circle means it is below the horizon):

Wow! They have cleaned up the rendering of the planets a lot since they first showed us a planet way back when! I Can't wait...

Getting better, for sure - but still looks a bit flat & smooth to me.

I think I am going to start searching for a place I want to land when Horizons comes. It won't be in a popular system like Sol. I already have a few candidates. Who knows what we will find.

My goal has always been gain access to SOL so what better time to do it! And I should be nearly there now I hit friendly with federation so next ranking mission should be very close !

I always figured I was just going to Kirk it.
Inow just pick something at random, just to see what's there
