Planets you'd like to see in ksp2

[Strawberry]

This thread is for planets you'd like to see in ksp2, I'll start. 

I'd love to see a helium gas giant, these have a surreal gray color that makes them look super distinct compared to other gas giants

Also carbon planets are cool, the pressures underneath leads to loads of diamond and silicon carbide underground, these could come up through volcanoes forming mountains of diamond and silicon carbide.

Carbon planet orbiting pulsar. 'Nuff said.

If we can include moons of planets in this thread, then I'd like to see a ravioli shepherd like pan around a ringed system in KSP2.  I think it would make for an interesting destination for landers and stations, especially with its position between rings.

I'd also like to see smaller moons Phobos style, zipping around below the synchronous orbit radius of their planets, moons going backwards or orbiting the poles, moons on highly elliptical orbits (Nereid) etc.  They'd make excellent places to RP bases etc.  Saturn has 80 + moons and while you wouldn't go that high in KSP2 for obvious reasons, it'd be great to see more Jool like (or Saturn analogue) systems in the game.  Creating more smaller moons around planets could potentially increase destination interest at a faster rate (due to the smaller size and presumably speed to create) than just dropping in lots of new planets. It would be great if a modder who creates planet systems could weigh on that logic.

Seeing as this is a thread about planets though - PSR J1719–1483 B orbits a millisecond pulsar (in itself a terrifying and interesting destination).  Its thought that this planet was actually a star at one point in its life a red giant, then a white dwarf, until the pulsar had stolen all of its hydrogen and helium and left a crystalised carbon "diamond" about 5 times the size of earth behind.  The only issue I can see is (besides the obvious instant doom of travelling there), is that the gravity would be so obscene as to render the Eve return challenge entry level.

 

Looks pretty though!

a planet that rotates so fast that it lookes squashed and that gravity is noticeably weaker on its equator
