HIP 104643 is my submission for this list. Not too far from the bubble, present in this system are 3 stars. The main body with its string of planets, some rocky, some gas giants, body B, a black hole, and the third sun AB 1, with its own string of rocky and gas giant planets, and vast rings, quite possibly the widest and most visible rings in the game, the rings alone make HIP 104643 worth a visit.

This is Shapley 1, aka The Fine Ring nebula. Less than 1000LY from the bubble, and very pretty with its central star.

My first PvP kill was back on my old PS4 account.

This is 5-6 years ago, I had an Alliance Challenger, engineered, but not over-engineered. I was flying in system somewhere and was interdicted, I assumed it was an AI, so anyway I started blasting. I noticed it wasn't shooting back, stripped off the shields, then saw messages from a commander along the lines of, "I was trying to inderdict an AI, and got you by accident"

I stopped shooting and sent "Okay Ill stop", he came to a hover in front of me, and I boost rammed him and finished him off.

No talking, just 2 minutes of visuals and music aimed to trigger curiosity, enjoy.

I have a tendency to over engineer my ships, and my mining boat, a Type 10 Defender named Time & Tide, is no different. The T10 is a huge ship, with enough hardpoints and optional internals to be able to surface and core mine at the same time.

All Core Internals are the maximum size, and "A" rated, with the Thrusters engineered to G5 Dirty and Drag Drives, the FSD (SCO) at G5 Increased Range, and the Power Distributor G5 Weapon Focused with Super Conduits. This combination gives some much needed handling to the big girl, the ability to jump a fair amount, and not drain the weapon capacitors firing the plethora of mining lasers fitted!

Optional Internals are similarly highly specified, with a 7A Universal Limpet Controller, two 3A Collector Limpet Controllers and two 3A Prospector Limpet controllers the 8E and 5E cargo racks hold the many, many limpets I burn through, and still have ample space for the mined commodities. A single 2A refinery with its 6 bins is plenty to process the fragments collected, and a Detailed Surface Scanner is present to locate the hot spots. For defence I have a 6A Prismatic Shield Generator, and, in the T10's 2 military compartments are a 5D Hull Reinforcement Module, and a 5H Guardian Module Reinforcement.

Hardpoints are numerous on the T10, and this build makes full use of them. The two 2D Mining Lasers, and four 1A Modified Mining Lasers make short work of surface mining. With the 2B Seismic Charge Launcher, mounted on the centre line for easing aiming, and two 1D Abrasion Blasters, core mining is covered as well.

Fitted to one of the T10s eight Utility Mounts is a Pulse Wave Analyser, to ping those juicy cores.

This build will absolutely munch through hotspots, and is also very effective at mopping up the materials floating at High Grade Emission signal sources, and the Modified Mining Lasers can be used in combat. Time & Tide may be over the top for a mining vessel, yes, it's expensive, in credits and engineering materials, but it's very, very good at what it does.

I'd be a Cargo Rack, because I always end up carrying everything wherever I go!

My fleet carrier seemingly hangs in space in front of a beautiful pulsar.
