Glitch in the Galaxy Map for Oya

[sirpuma]

I'm not exactly sure where to post this for FDev but here goes. So I'm trying to help out with the Anti-Xeno Initiative. One of the systems shared for targeting is Oya. However when I put in Oya the galaxy map takes me to Set. I wonder if anyone else has this issue or if I need to relog but there it is.

I didn't know you could enter the names of maelstroms to go there. I have been clicking.
That said, is oya possibly an alternate name for Set? I know there are alternate system names that work.

Most of the Maelstroms are named for systems, but putting in names like Thor or Taranis take you to those systems, not the maelstroms. A couple of the names are not named for systems and when you type them in you get "no results found". Oya is the only one that is listed like a system but takes you to a completely different named system.

No, the Maelstroms are named after Gods of Storms in various cultures, there just happens to be a few systems that share the same names. Except there isn't a system called Oya in Elite (at least not that I could find on EDSM or EDDB).

The Oya Maelstrom is located in system Cephei Sector BV-Y b4, body B 1

The Set system has secondary or ternary star named Oya and the search is smart enough to point you to stations or bodies if the system name doesn't the initial query or there's a better match.

Try to find HIP 71683, many systems have multiple names.

Gotchya. Looked it up on EDSM Set is the primary with Shango and Oya.

Well, Thor is the only God I recognize in the list of Maelstroms but there are many systems with the same names. Oya is the third star in the Set system.

The Oya in the Set system is not the Oya that you are looking for.

The Thargoid invasion areas have all got names, some of which are the same as a known system, but can actually be far away from that system.

If you want to help out in the war you need to find out where the various groups are putting an effort in, and go join in their effort. Or just pick a system on the map that has a Thargoid presence and fly there, but unless you join in a group effort all of your effort will likely be wasted when progress gets reset every Thursday.

See https://antixenoinitiative.com/watch for a list of systems, what war state they are in, and how far along they are.

Because they were named before they actually arrived. It is perhaps not surprising (considering other FDEV fubars) that they used names that were also star / system names in the game - I despair of the lackadaisical attitude of the developers here at times.

I get that. AXI's discord messages are mirrored on D2EA's discord and I've been helping as much as I can. When I saw Oya listed along with other system names I assumed it was a system. I took brief looks as to where the other systems were in relation to me but when I put in Oya it took me to Set. I didn't realize that they were listing Oya not as a system but as a Maelstrom.
