| Okay, here's another picture. The same exoplanet, but other moons. I'm experimenting just with a script that can create such moon systems.
Don't forget to look here.

| Quote DoctorOfSpace (  ) It is highly unlikely that humanity will ever have exotic matter, but there is a small sliver of hope
If it's a (highly unlikely) possibility, it will still be the only method the spacecraft 'rings' might utilise to realise the metric so as to create a warp bubble and a forward-oriented space-time boost, so here's hoping. Perhaps a matched set of counter-rotating energised plate assemblies inside the rings that generate a Casimir effect based energy-mass bias.
Reminds me of Tom Paris' little rhyme poem - "when travelling FTL, turn neither left or right", i.e. one would have no choice but ride the geodesics of any masses one would be affected by enroute. Is this not the reason the SE 0.980 warp hypedrive works the way it does?
There is also the issue of a deflector for the interstellar medium, or does the geometry of the warp bubble make this redundant?

You can still turn in warp, but the field offset is controlled by the direction of motion. The warp drive in SE is based on Harold White's recent papers describing it as a boosting factor. The efficiency is basically a cheap way of saying your warp ring is facing the wrong direction and field symmetry offset is not optimal.
Quote GullWings ( ) There is also the issue of a deflector for the interstellar medium, or does the geometry of the warp bubble make this redundant?
It does make a deflector a little pointless, unless the initial velocity is high. Any object entering the field would gain momentum and lose momentum as it entered the flat region where the ship is. This only applies to lower warping factors however since at higher warp values the region of compressed space would be experiencing such high tidal forces any object entering could be ripped apart.

OOOOHH MY GOOODDD!!! this is exactly what I want to see in SpaceEngine. I haven't requested it by now because I know is something that would have to wait to much. I prefer to talk about it when the time comes. But this is just amazing. Cataclismic binary systems are one of the most beautifull things nature has archived

And this always confuses me when using it. in SE, i.e. trying to navigate so as to keep the boost 'effecient'. Has me stumped mostof the time to be truthful.

I always seem to forget the Weyl curvature (tidal) aspect being a function of the warp filed itself. You are absolutley correct.

| Wow ! That's a lot of pictures here !
Here are some pictures I took in my daily trip around the universe. The main star of this system is a carbon star, I
I love how the terrain generator can create such realistic mountains on desert planets.
It's on the same planet.
Most of these pictures come from this : Imgur Album
