List of Earth-like worlds, v3

I'm honestly surprised that no-one else has yet submitted the following planet. Because it was the winning entry in the "find the best future colony spot" competition ran on the forum by the Pioneers Cooperative about a year ago; you can see the old thread here. It seems kinda a cheatin' way of boosting my reports, but hey, I'll take it, and I did go to all the trouble of flying over there from Amundsen to verify the stats. It's also my first reported ringed ELW (which seems to have been the main reason it won the competition).

I have no idea if FD still plan on colonizing this world, or if events in Colonia have completely taken over the remote colonization storyline. But right now, the system is still uninhabited.

I haven't checked to see if any of the other systems posted in the competition have been reported, but they all have ELWs; someone might be able to harvest a few more ELWs for the list out of it, and from the earlier threads calling for submissions and narrowing down the vote. Oh, and here's my screenshot of the ELW itself.

At least a few have been submitted - I entered, and I made sure mine were also added to the list :). And that cursed competition also led to the discovery of Droju IG-M a103-0 which is the first - and so far only - recorded ELW around a sole L-class (it, too, is in the list). I can't even count how many Ls I've scanned looking for one. IT'S DRIVING ME SLIGHTLY CRAZY. Grr. Closest I've come is binary terraformable water worlds. The hunt goes on... hmph.

@ Sapyx: Thanks! For your information, I decided not to put in all those ELW-s back then as they haven't been submitted to the list, and I was too lazy to ask everybody there if they minded. I did ask Veersarge for permission though, because his was the most special Earth-like there. A pity it didn't win the competition, but to be fair, it was the rings that won it.

For the record, to everyone: I've since brought over all the incorrect and missing entries from the old list, so the "Data - Errors" sheet now contains plenty of stuff we do need screenshots for.

Funny you should say that: just recently, I've come across a very hospitable blue planet around a solitary L dwarf. Everything would check out, except the temperature happens to be 258 K. Grr. I briefly entertained the thought of slamming my ship to the planet and pushing it retrograde (the good old Kerbal way), but alas, it was not to be.
But hey, you've found two Herbigs by now? And I think I've checked six-seven hundred of them, all without a single Earth-like. Sometimes, you just have rotten luck.

Lazy? If you're willing to keep this list up to date, that would be the last thing I would call you. :D

I feel your pain, that's the one I want 2nd most (after ELW as a gas giant moon). Every time I have to dip through the brown dwarf layer to make progress I cross my fingers but still nothing (CFTs and WW but meh, those are not the planets I seek).
 
I am within 4k of Sol after 8 months carrying a bag stuffed with fresh ELW's that I should hopefully be cashing in and submitting by tomorrow :)
However 4 months out on way to Beagle Point I suffered a hard drive failure that wiped out around 13 of my found ELW's (including my first double).The only way I can retrieve these is by selling my data in singles, keeping anything over 70K and then examining them for earth like systems.This will delay my submits (and possibly destroy my thumb joints in the process lol)

But I do need to ask a question- I tend to find around 30% of my ELW's orbiting K stars and on the way to Beagle Point I found roughly the same percentage.Then 2.2 dropped and so it seemed did ELW's orbiting K stars.Since then I've travelled over 65K and found 30+ ELWs but only two around K stars-and one of those was a trinary of 2 K stars and an L star.I also dropped M and Brown Dwarfs from the plotting route so would have expected more K star finds but no avail.
Perhaps it just bad luck but the ratio of ELW's around K stars has definitely gone down for me and was wondering if anyone else has found this too?

Perhaps it just bad luck but the ratio of ELW's around K stars has definitely gone down for me and was wondering if anyone else has found this too?

I've found almost all of mine around F-G-K, though there's been a few ELWs directly around Neutrons while tending the fields. They seem to have a fairly large habitable zone, but it's still, to me anyway, not worth going pure neuts for the purpose of looking for ELWs.

I was filtering FGKM for quite a while, but realized how many ELWs were around less-luminous A's. Given that there's far fewer A's in the galaxy than M's, I figured they probably have a better chance of having ELWs. So I switched to AFGK when looking in deep space and have had pretty good results.

There's another reason I skip M's entirely: I just get so tired of looking at them. When you land in an A, you get a beautiful glowing ball to star at, and usually bodies around it will be bigger and have HMC/gas giants with moons. In most M systems, you get a less pretty blood orange ball and probably a smattering of icy/rocky/rocky ice. Just not as fun to me.

Edit: The spreadsheet now seems to break down the By Class sheet by arrival star. I don't think this fidelity was present when I made my choice. It seems to line up with my guess, so that's neat.

@ Guywano: Thanks, and also thanks for mentioning that this system has a tourist beacon as well! I do make a note of those on the list, although so far, I only know of one. Will have to check later if there are more already on the list, but if anyone comes across one, do let me know please!


As for Leif_Erikson and thadius856: it's a quite tricky question. Your coming across less ELW-s around class K stars is probably due to simple statistical clumping, or luck of the draw: for example, in the past, hm, two weeks, most of the Earth-likes I've come across were around class K stars.
Alternatively, it might be the region(s) you're going through. There isn't enough data (yet?) to prove or disprove it, but it's suspected that in some regions, the less luminous stars (like G, K) / mass code C systems have better chances of Earth-likes than they do elsewhere. But looking into this would require extensive surveys of sectors in different regions of the galaxy.

Oh, and a bit of trivia for thadius856: you mentioned the main star as the "arrival star", but that's not always true. You arrive at the most massive star in a system, but in a few cases, in real systems this might not be the first star. There's a system near the bubble, Lalande 25224, which is notable for having a neutron star as star B and you arrive at it.

Neat!

I suppose I should clarify. The "Main" star listed is on the spreadsheet is the one that the galaxy map route filter applies to, right? The question was about filtering (or, at least I thought it was?) so I was sort of answering towards that.

May 22 cant come soon enough.
I'm at 105 total.
7 previously found.
I have some good ones:
Orbiting a Herbig.
Orbiting a B star.
Orbiting a T-Tauri star.
2 ELW's orbiting an L star.
And an ELW orbiting an M and (2) T stars.

Lots more to find:
Need A0 / A1 / A2 / A3 / A4
B5 / B6 / B7 / B8 / B9
All L's except L3
M2 & M5 (should be easy once I try)
All TTs except 6
Carbon stars
Black hole

I will get them all:D

I suppose I should clarify. The "Main" star listed is on the spreadsheet is the one that the galaxy map route filter applies to, right? The question was about filtering (or, at least I thought it was?) so I was sort of answering towards that.
Yep, it's the star type that's shown on the galaxy map.

@ osser: Hm, what's on May 22?
Also, congrats on your finds so far, and especially on that Herbig! I seem to be cursed with those and can't find any Earth-likes around them. Though to be fair, I probably won't be looking for a good while. Anyway, good luck out there!
 
@ osser: A4 should not be very hard to find. My first jump today was to one of those, giving me a nice ELW!

Just when I wanted to write this about the A4 star, I just wanted to refuel. What about this A0, TTS, G0, TTS system? Should be a nice "gas station". Honking stated some 50+ objects. What could that be except asteroids or moons around gas giants... Totally wrong nice planets around that G0 and a big WW and wait a second... Is there an ELW around that TTS and there another one? Should be enough good stuff, but the other TTs gave me another ELW. I was shocked! What did I want do do here? Right, refuel on that A0, but where is that refueling sound. I was getting too close to the sun and stopped. Suddenly hearing the scooping sound - and the tank was full! Never had something like this (bug?). After recovering this second shock I scanned the whole system as usual. The results are: 3 ELWs, 1WW+, 2 WW, 6 HMCP+, 24HMCP and 1 icy world!
 
As for Leif_Erikson and thadius856: it's a quite tricky question. Your coming across less ELW-s around class K stars is probably due to simple statistical clumping, or luck of the draw: for example, in the past, hm, two weeks, most of the Earth-likes I've come across were around class K stars.

But looking into this would require extensive surveys of sectors in different regions of the galaxy.

I took the far spiral arm from Beagle Point and did notice a clumping of ELWs around the Eock Prau Nebula 5K above and 10K below yielded me most of my finds.Above and below that ELW finds were very sparse indeed.It was A and G class stars that I had the most finds there too with the reliable F stars relegated to third place-most unusual.

thadius856- This is also the reason I omit M class stars from the route plotter-too samey and yielding few rewards.However an ELW find on a single M star is (almost) worth the tedium!

Note MCC 822's proximity to Sol. I triple checked to be sure it wasn't inhabited and on the list, but something still feels off that there's an uncataloged ELW with an unpopulated system this close by.
 
Did it used to be populated? Was it aliens?!!?

There's definitely some lore that can be written around systems like that, as it does seem odd that a thousand years of colonizaton would simply pass it by. Options that occur to me are:
- Galactic National Park - perhaps because of a potential pre-technological sentient species. But in this cut-throat galaxy with no universally recognized authority to declare a planet off-limits to colonization, I find it difficult to believe that such an edict would have been enforceable.
- Error from the remote scan data of the earliest probes to scan the system, marking it as a toxic wasteland until very recently.
- Previous colonization efforts have been attempted and failed, perhaps because of particularly pernicious native lifeforms that resist all efforts at eradication.
