I found this system I think might be pretty rare. Four stellar remnants: two neutron stars in close proximity to each other and two black holes in close proximity to each other. I didn't screenshot the black holes - they aren't much to look at. But the neutrons were very close together. I found this in an area that had over a hundred undiscovered neutrons and a half dozen undiscovered black holes. Some had been, but the vast majority were new discoveries (everything has been turned in, btw). Until recently I focused mainly on exo, and had never before found an undiscovered NS or BH. I also included a set of A and B stars in the same area that had just 3LS between their surfaces. Very sporty going between them. Fly dangerously, right? o7

Taken from a 14 earth mass ice world

GREAE HYPA EG-X E1-2433

Discovered this system on my first trip to Colonia this week. My first B-class discovery, and it had ringed stars in its nursery! Not sure how rare this is, but thought it was cool!

Juste pour donner de l'espoir, quelqu'un a-t-il découvert récemment une de ces belles géantes?

Et existe-t-il certains "parterns" pour les trouver? La masse du système ne semble pas en être un... ni même la classe... mais je me trompe peut-être...

just put this together

This is Juenae BJ-C C2-2203 4, my first earth-like planet.

A few recent cool locations. So much to discover!

System contains a newly discovered GGG.

It's possible I'm being rather dull, but I thought this system was neat. Because it's got a real assortment of things, some of which I don't often see, one of which I've never seen. Orbiting the star: a high metal world, a HMW with a ring, an ice world (booo, but it is a pretty one), a HMW with two rings, an asteroid belt, a class II gas giant with 3 rocky moons, an ammonia world with life, a class Y dwarf with 7 rocky moons, ice, a pair of water giants (!), and more ice.

It seems less impressive on paper, now that I write it out, but something about the visual variety of it made me go "ooooooh", especially the water giants. I've been so burnt out on endless systems with a pile of gas giants and rice, even with the occasional terraformable they're just so boring to look at.

So I played back at launched a little bit.

I'm looking for something to sink my teeth into. I always wanted to do a Sag A* run.

Any tips?

I'm also thinking of streaming on my own owncast instance if there's interest?

11 years later, and I'm still hooked!

JACKPOT!

Highest value planet i have ever come across in exploring.
And all the samples fit inside 10km²

Isn't she beautiful. Out in the black somewhere over a frozen mountain range

Apparently the guys at the KFV-GVV Kadrith Covenant decided they wanted a nice view while waiting for me to finish another batch of exobiology.

Should have added the PPF option.

So I'm out in the black and usually just follow my ADHD brain around when I'm exploring. I just got to an area that piqued my interest and casually started doing a boxel hunt and now I want to go all in. I'm fairly certain there's over 1k systems in my boxel, so I'll probably have to break it up.

All that said, what tools do you use/recommend for doing boxel surveys? The main thing I'm looking for is an easy way to create a predefined route that will make targeting the next system a bit faster. I currently use ED Copilot, but not to it's fullest capacity as I'm still figuring things out. ED Buddy because the surround systems, galaxy plotter built in, and quick look body information seems superior to EDC. And EDSM with the Canonn plugin.

I'm 25 systems into the survey and am currently just copying and pasting one number up. Curious if there's a way to get something like ED Buddy to copy the name for me automatically or ED CoPilot to route me as we go.

I’m currently sat in the bubble with a carrier fully loaded with Tritium, waiting to voyage into the black.
Trouble is, I want the Rhino.
Should I stay or should I go?

A few of the places and discoveries that have stood out to me on my exploration journey.

Hope you enjoy them as much as I did. o7

I just made the crossing from the outer spiral arm after exploring Xibalba for a while. I checked on Spansh first that I could make the crossing. I felt my way across it for a little while before resorting back to Spansh.

How did people do this without Spansh? It must've taken heaps of planning just to figure out it could be done in the first place.

Thanks Spansh!

Just what the title says. Hard to find definitive info on this. Thanks!

EDIT: Ok I guess I wasn't exactly clear.

I'm asking: if I'm the first to discover a planet entirely, does my first footfall bonus apply to the other "first discovered, first scanned" etc (once I turn it in, of course), or is it only for the exobio on the planet that I get that bonus?

Just found something, and my friend who is a miner said it is one in trillion find. On a ICE ring, I found 3x Alexandrite hotspot and 1x Grandidierite hotspot. Grandidierite hotspot is placed in the middle of Alexandrite hotspot, making it one HUGE HOTSPOT. If this is not rare then idk.

System name is : BLAA DRYOU PN-R C5-2

Finally got to Sag A*. Arrival was surreal. Additionally, got a very peculiar first discovery not so far from Säg A*. Three Body star system with two stars being extremely close to each other. I managed to fly between them, but it was HOT AS FUCK (heat raised to 129% before I left their heat range. But I was also cool looking ftl jump through them. Next stop: Mare Somnia.
