The darkest caves I've ever flown in

[Galadhlinn]

I was just saying in a post the other day how I'm not particularly drawn to paradise planets. I will, however, check one out when I warp into a system and one is staring me in the face. I noticed from high up this one had caves, so I was committed right there to do a real exploration of this one. The next thing I noticed was the saturated color scheme, quite intense (which can be a good or a bad thing depending on one's taste). Then I was struck by the ground where not covered in grass being really black, intensely black. But around the edges of the turquoise water there was this tiger striping of white and black like sand which was just crazy! The sky is also turquoise and relatively clear of haze. I decided to pick a line of Star Bramble running north to search for curious deposits, but as the sun was setting, a cave opening drew me in. Black The blackest caves I've ever flown in, and now it was dark outside. Sometimes dark caves can be actually well lit if the plants and other things in the cave glow. These caves are hauntingly beautiful dark inside. There is so much of the drooping ropes stuff hanging from the ceiling dimly lit. This is one of those finds, for me, that I spend hundreds of hours exploring for and then bam, payday! Screenshots aren't capturing the feeling, of course, that you get as you take this planet in. I'll definitely have try a video. I recommend looking at the cave shots in full screen if you have a nice big monitor.

So much to take in in this shot, striped sand, all the caves, colors.

Two more shots before I head out.
This planet has a lot of caves where the insides of the caves spill out on to the surface.

It also has an awesome night sky.

Seriously beautiful. Haunting and eerie in all the right ways. I can only imagine what it felt like walking into it for the first time. Considered a cave base maybe? I've always wanted one to get me away from building pyramids.

Yes, I'm always searching for a cave to build in.
This was from a couple of years ago.
