It is a lava planet.
Yeah, I finally got the ship to enter the orbit of the planet. Then the option to create an outpost appears in the ship's menu, and as soon as I pressed it and confirmed it, the colony was created.
I got it to work, finally. Although I'm not sure how...
Well it might take some time to land... but my ship is definitely not doing anything or responding to anything I tell it to do.
You got a message it was going to land? Lucky. My outpost ship just sits in the star's orbit and won't move anywhere.
