Check out this planet crashing into the sun. Surely it would have exploded by now.

I`ve never been able to ticket anything. All I get is a screen telling me to read the following FAQ and if my problem isn`t listed then to create a ticket, but I`ve never been able to close that screen that overlays the website.

EDIT : Scrap that, I think I`ve managed it now.

Yeah, this overlay no longer exists since FD changed their reporting web application. :)

Slightly too close - considering http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gliese_876 (which is Ross 780's Gliese name), the first planet is about 3 million km from the star...

That's pretty cool looking though. I am still looking for that WOW system... Plenty of time and space there so I am confident. :D

Yes. I took a look at that wiki entry before posting. Always interested in comparing actual star charts and info while playing.
