Why are some nebulas inaccessible?
Heydy hoo! My favourite thing to do in games is exploration. So ofcourse the main thing I do in this game is also exploration. And nebulas are one of the main things that attracts people like me. I have been to the California nebula, Barnard's loop, Pleiades nebula, Witchead nebula and a few more. What frustrates me is that alot of nebulas are completely inaccurate to how they actually look. And they are often just copied and pasted over the milky way. So I started looking up if there were any other nebula models that I haven't seen. There are a few that look pretty cool that I haven't done but there are a few nebulas that have a amazing model that are not copy pasted but inaccessable. The main two that intrigue me the most are the
Lemon Slice Nebula ( BD+83 357 ) and the Cat's Eye Nebula. Does anyone know why they are inaccessable?

Thanks for reading!

Lazy game design, it should be a star on the center of the cat’s eye, another example is eta carinae, the homunculus nebula isn’t there

Arnt those permanently locked systems are private kickstarter backer systems they got for a donation goal?

My guess is, at these places the reptiloids are performing some secret experiments with alien remains gathered from UFO crash sites.
