Can't find the Top 5 Largest stars

I really wish they would fix things like this though, so much more interesting for us explorers when there's different variants, sizes based on science etc. Vy Canis Majoris should probably look a bit wilder based on the pictures they have of it.
The game dies a bit if they never improve or evolve these mechanics.

Something like this would be sweet as!

Well when I was playing with oculus rift 1 development kit, the demo for trip around Sol showed a sun/star bigger then Sol system. Sadly I can not remember the name they used, but understand demo was using real data.
Wonder if this one is in ED.

VY Canis Majoris and UY Scuti are bigger than Jupiter's orbit around Sol. Star system-sized stars are already in game.

Real data is a relative term, these things are hard to measure exact when you are XXXXX ly away. But afaik nothing is big enough to encapsulate our entire solar system. In Titans of Space, the most impressive Oculus demo imo, Vy Canis Majoris is shown to encapsulate about up to Jupiter if placed in the center of our solar system. But I believe it's about the same for UY Scuti as the size assumed for Vy Canis Majoris in Titans of Space is on the upper assumptions in size (1500).

Why we don't find some stars

Because they're large, they're supernova candidates.
When you looking for Westerlund it's in the Ara Region alson known for Altar (Latin)
If you looking for that it's a dark region = supernova
Same for Cephei -> Cepheus = dark region = supernova
Scorpii -> Scorpius = dark region = supernova

All those stars are gone, we can't visit them. :,(

This is 3301. When they say some stars will supernova soon, they mean soon in a solar time scale. Like, in a million or 10 million years ;)

So you would expect a Black Hole, or a Neutron Star then? Stars don't just disappear!? Well as far as I know anyway! - I'm no expert :)
