| The goal of this challenge is to try and find the tallest mountain you can in Space Engine.
Rules:
1. Must use version 0.97.1
2. It cannot be on a named planet. Must have RS/RSC.
3. No using the planet editor either, obviously.
4. No Oceanas
Format:
1. You must post an image showing the view from the top of the mountain, with the planet information shown in-game as well.
2. You must post a second image showing a picture of the mountain and how awesome it is.
Example:
View from the top with info
View of the actual mountain
In this case, the mountain is 24.852 km high as shown under Landscape Height.
Have fun!

| So the only planets not allowed are the solar system planets?
Love Space Engine!

No, named planets such as HIP, Gliese etc. Any planet that has a name other than one starting in RS or RSC doesn't count.

| That is a very strange shape for a mountain that high. Compare it to the super-side Olympus Mons.
I occasionally stream at http://www.twitch.tv/magistermystax. Sometimes SE, sometimes other games.

| Well Olympus Mons was cause by huge volcanic activity whereas my my old submission and my new submission below were cause from a meteorite impact by the looks of it.

| I would add a rule: No edited planets, since you could joust increase the mountain magnitude to create huge mountains.

| Wow that is CRAZY! Look at that thing, it's so distorted haha.
Can I have the coordinates to the system, just check your journey log.
EDIT: Hmm, I found it but I can't seem to find the mountain, It is an Oceana with only a few islands. I've checked on the dark side and the day time side and nothing. Where is it specifically?

| Wow, that one is even crazier. Haha, I'm so visiting that one.
I don't know if I'm blind or what but I can't find that mountain on the planet.

| ...Huh. I was hoping to apply with a shield volcano, at 16 km over sea level. But obviously that immediately loses.
Tips for finding Earth-Like planets: Look for F, G, or K Class stars. M class habitables will almost always be tidelocked. Oceanias can, of course, also be habitable, they just have tiny amounts of land.
