Dual ELW

Yep, Helium rich gas giants are about as rare as it comes. However, if you find one in a system then there may well be others. That's because the gas giant helium percentage is the same for all gas giants in a system (I guess the stellar forge can be forgiven some simplifications). If the percentage is above a certain amount then class I giants are reclassified as helium rich.


cheers never seen any since then incidentally Allitnil i am sitting in a system with your tag on the main star right now lol.

In all honesty, I haven't seen a single player tag since heart and soul nebula, and I check every single system I jump into....not one tag in about 15k ly...the solitude is complete out here. I honestly have no idea where beagle point is either...I know it's up top somewhere but if it's not marked on the map, I run into bother. Only know where jacks was because the cg tag. I don't trouble myself with maps or out of game resources...if I know where I'm going then I'm not exploring, just travelling ^^

I was just curious about how rare that find was, I'm happy enough just doin me own thing fer now, but I'll keep a closer eye on the gas giants from now on.

I prefer being off the beaten track as it were. I searched out beagle point before but never bookmarked it. I sorta figure everything out there has already been explored so unless it's got breath taking eye candy, the chances of me going there are very slim.

Just a lone wolf, I avoid organised groups and such and just go wherever the wind takes me sorta thing. It's weird being utterly addicted to a game I don't really understand, but ye don't really get to choose who ye fall in love with in real life either...just sorta happens when yer not expecting it.

This is not a game I thought I would enjoy and only started when engineers landed...have since clocked up nearly 5 weeks playtime already. Doesn't really get any more addicted than that but however ^^
 
Out of my 620, I've found 11 "doubles". It seems (to me anyway) those orbiting each other are most common, then planet / moon combos. More rare, are multiple ELWs orbiting different stars in the same system. You stand a slightly better chance finding a pair, than you do a ringed ELW (once again, IMO)


This sounds right to me. I'm coming up to about 150 ELWs now, including two binary pairs, one ringed ELW, one with 2 orbitting different stars in the same system and more recently (not submitted yet due to still being on the same trip): one system with 2 ELWs in separate orbits around the same star.

i know exactly where your coming from and i cannot hide the fact it has been a grind to get here i have documented my journey in a blog and just added my latest piece with my arrival at BP.

if your bored and fancy a read take a look i posted (what i consider to be pretty) pretty pictures of my journey

Seven months out...hats off to ye. Some nice pics too...I like reading up on the exploits sometimes, although I never keep records of me own. I'm way too laid back to worry too much about stuff like that and from what I've seen so far, my adventures really can't compete.

Still haven't found a black hole...then again I'm not sure if they are found in the usual way, but one lives in hope ^^
 
thanks but black holes are visible in the galaxy map it would be possible to stumble upon one without trying but i suspect it is a slim chance i only ever seen a few because i went looking for them.

Ye m8 I don't even know what BGS stands for let alone how to specifically find black holes. And a slim chance is better than no chance...glass half full and all that ^^
 
I know this might come as somewhat of a shock, but I have absolutely no idea what a sub reddit is. I didn't grow up with computers like many others here have, so an awful lot of the stuff that goes on here goes right over the top of me head. If I find a treble, I'll post it up and someone else can get applause, I'm none too bothered bout stuff like that and would rather stay out of the limelight so to speak...I'm very shy. I been playing with pc fer a long time but really don't know very much about them...Mr PC world does all my repairs and I literally don't even know how to put a stick of ram in. My daughter keeps me right most the time. I know the basic stuff and I get by most the time so long as things don't start breaking, and it's an older machine so it's not beyond happening from time to time.

Was supposed to get into jacques over the weekend, but keep getting distracted in the region I'm passing through. Not in any huge hurry but I'm getting there. Took a huge detour after getting bored with the formidine thing a while back, although I did actually find an ELW on the top right corner of the eafots region on the way out of it...nothing special just a single but every little helps ^^

Alrighty that's not an issue, I only started using reddit this year (grew up with computers but hate socialising through them unless I'm forced to). Reddit is basically like this forum but for everything, literally everything. It's split into sub-sections for ease of use and to emphasise how ridiculous it can be this particular sub-reddit is dedicated to the letter G.

https://www.reddit.com/r/ggggg/

To quote Firefly - "What? Some people juggle Geese!" :p


The one I was referring to before is the Elite dangerous Exploration subreddit found here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/eliteexplorers/

I tend not to be too shy mainly because lots of my "Exploration - To see list" has come from other peoples threads so I feel it's only right when I do a major trip etc that I post a bit of a story and a few pics that may inspire others :D


And sounds good. I do love earth like worlds purely because of how rare they are :)

Ye I got onto the CCN discord last night...that's the first time I've ever been on a discord...didn't know the rules and tried to have some fun and got my bollox chewed off fer spamming the bot. Why is it everywhere I go in this game, I just end up hitting a brick wall? It's like that joker meme..."Why so serious?"

This game vexes thee somewhat.

On a lighter note, at least it motivated me enough to finally put a proper picture onto my forum sig ^^
