The
Planet's orbits can be visited by simply using a [[HyperDrive]], while entering the planet itself requires flying into it from its orbit. A [[Teleporter]] can also be used to visit a planet or its orbit. Each planet is located at some specific local coordinates within a given solar system (the star is located at some coordinates <code><span style="color:#FF3838">x</span>, <span style="color:#4790FF">y</span></code>; while the planets are located at some coordinates <code><span style="color:#FF3838">x</span>, <span style="color:#4790FF">y</span>, <span style="color:#52CF30">z</span>, <span style="color:#E86BFF">w</span></code>)
There are an estimated 8000<!-- using the images in fiding a planet:
the grid of the starmap is 11*11, and I counted 12 stars. This gives a probability of 9.92% for a start to occupy a given cell. As this is really rough approximation and by no means thoroughly statistical I think it's reasonable to round this to 10% as that seems like something the developers would type in. 10% was then multiplied by 10000 (grid spaces in the universe) to give around 1000 stars. Stars usually have (personal account, please verify) around 4-12 planets. 16 (4+12) over two is 8. 8*1000 = 8000 --> planets in the universe. In the future planets may include alien life and randomly generated structures.
