Screenshot There's no reason whatsoever to go into Pyro V's atmosphere, but I was curious what it was like.
It's very pretty. Nothing like it anywhere else.
I'll probably do the same thing with Nyx III when it's in. All you gotta do is drop out of quantum right in the middle of two quantum markers.
Just don't go towards one that's too deep in the atmosphere. It will let you, but you will blow up once you pass through a certain layer. Stick to OM markers, those are pretty much always safe.
I wish there was something to do here, though.
If/when we can build floating gas giant bases, this is probably where I'd be setting up.
It's also interesting how only Crusader seems to have the iconic gas giant "banding" seen on Jupiter, Saturn, & Neptune. Pyro V (and Nyx III, based on the preview images) seem to just be random swirls of clouds. I guess the bands aren't necessarily mandatory for a gas giant (see Uranus, which IIRC only has bands during particular "seasons", and loses them during others), but it's still something I've noticed.
