• Trailblazers frustration

    So I came across something frustrating in Elite Dangerous: Trailblazers.

    My "tidally-locked" planet doesn't appear to be following the rules for
    such a planet. The scan reports that it is tidally-locked with the star,
    but the star moves around in the sky anyway.

    I tested this by parking in a spot and screenshotting the star's location. After a couple of days I logged back into the game -- and the sun was over
    the horizon.

    Tried it again, this time sitting on the equator (thinking there might be
    a wobble), but the star moved quite a bit again after a few hours.

    A bit frustrating, because the main reason I chose the system
    was the tidally-locked planet.

    Anyway, so I've punted, and laid down the groundwork for a colony
    settlement, which I'm building now.
