Nice find Cmdr Cheers

If i have to put a list of my favorite discoveries...hmmm. Lets see. In no particular order:

1. A star with enormous 36 000 000km+ ring
2. Two planetary nebulae: Loijeia KR-W E1-10 and Oephail DA-A E47
3. System with two very massive Hebrigs, WR and a Black Hole
4. System with Big Four: Water World,TC Water World, Ammonia World and a Earth-like World
5. A ringed ELW orbiting Neutron Star (it was worth 71600Cr)
6. Three ringed WWs and a ringed AW

7. This amazing system. It doesnt fit in one screen

8. This mammoth planet

9. A I0 type star, which seems to be the rarest procedure generated object. In addition to that and as far my knowledge goes this star is the largest procedure generated object reported so far:

Where the planetary description says 'Water Geysers', are they actually active? Can they be seen spouting, erupting, whatever?

I've bookmarked a nearby (to me) system that has 'Water Geysers' and I'm very tempted to go and look, but if it's just a description, then I'd rather carry on grinding my Imperial rank for a while.

I'm not much of an Explorer, still Pretty Aimless 87% so could/would anyone recommend some POI's close by-ish to Aisling Duval territory that are worth going to see? Not that I'm aligned with her or anything....we're just good friends, but I'm trading/couriering in her backyard.

TIA

That comes under the heading of 'volcanism' which we can't go and see yet. It's coming but we need to wait a bit longer.

A 101RSol star is rising. Put on your sunglasses

Epic!

Roger that, thanks.

Back to the missions.

When the update's finished [???]

I have landed on many planets of different types and sizes all the way to Beagle Point. Unfortunately all of them seem to be completely static. Never seen any kind of geysers or volcanism.

look at the rotational period

it's an upcoming feature. e.g. will come somewhere between season 2 and season 10.

Just found a system with SIX water worlds AND an ELW

Whitmann · Feb 10, 2017

...which I think equals the most WWs in a system record. Happy to be proved wrong!

osser · Feb 10, 2017

I'd have to say my 2 ELW's & 2 Teraform WW's orbiting a Class L star.
A close 2nd would be my ELW orbiting a Herbig star.
To a lesser degree my ELW co-orbiting a class M & T star, my ELW orbiting a class B star, and my ELW orbiting a T-Tauri star.
I also have several cartographic record breakers to submit upon return.

You guys are giving me a deep exploration itch again

This was probably the rarest thing I've found in my travels, pretty sure I only saw the one and only of this size

thundernuns · Feb 10, 2017

Thank you for bringing this thread to my attention, there are some great shots here

Just tonight. My third ringed neutron star and finally an untagged one:

Watchdog · Feb 11, 2017

I am a newbie explorer, so my awesome discoveries are yet to come, but I really enjoyed finding this when testing my SRV:

osser · Feb 12, 2017

I should add that I've found a Class M star with rings.
Seemingly very very rare.

(I'm convinced anything and everything is possible. ELW orbiting a Class O star -- a hot T star -- a hot Y star..)

I think it's all there.
realistic or not, I've found some crazy stuff.

yodajedifishmaster · Feb 12, 2017

i dont want to post pics yet but i found something that has altered my plans for exploring the neutron fields, and head to sell data - black hole system with 3 neutron stars!. and no names! so im gonna sell data. but its one more off the bucket list.

also found an earth like round a secondary star to a black hole. someone else first discovered the black hole but they either didnt see or couldnt be bothered to scan the second star and possible earth like.

iain666 · Feb 12, 2017

I quite like this earth like I just found, it's a binary companion to a ringed Y class brown dwarf. Can't be that common a thing.

I don't think there will be an ELW orbiting a blue supergiant. EDD lists it's habitable zone in the neighborhood of 2.9 million ls or greater. Unless they ignore what is even remotely possible lol.

Got to admit, I just sat there staring for a moment.
