The Silliest Sytem - OVERVIEW
so!
- you'll find the system map stickied in discord. if you don't have access to discord, please PM me
- i have calculated the bodies volumes in our elected system; after that i calculated the volumes of the ships used, and remapped the relations of ship volume to those of body volume.... the sidey has the smallest planet, our largest body has 152 times the volume of the smalles, while a t9 has 284 times the volume of a sidey
- i assigned the bodies according to ships you have signed up with .... some (like me) changed ships, but that was not taken in account
- if i have missed someone, please PM me - best on discord!
GO TO SYSTEM. HONK. SELECT "YOUR" BODY VIA SYSTEM MAP. TRIPLE CHECK YOU HAVE SELECTED THE RIGHT ONE. ONLY SCAN "YOUR" BODY. ENJOY HE GROWING NUMBER OF FIRST DISCOVERY TAGS IN SYSTEM - we will ask other explorers after our expedition has ended.

edit 1: CMDR Makya added, who somehow managed to slip through in a t9
edit2: corrected Jantah's body to meet the facts (of a hauler loosing mass)
edit 3: added JohnF and his FDL!

Not the best of pics but the Grid of the SRV Race 1.
Sorry wasn't in the second race long enough to get a pic.
[sad]
I'll just share this one. A FDS, FAS, and FGS all together on the planet
Sorry if I missed this somewhere. Are all these times GMT?
i thought - ingame time.
Well, had a bit of a scare there...
Triple checked I selected the assigned body (BC4E), scanned it, and then the name "BC4D" pops up
@Goemon: No problems, but looks like you miscounted there
well, i neither assigned BC4E nor BC4D to you, but BC3E on place of BC3D
... can you re-check which is the actual body you scanned, so i can correct it in the map? if you have scanned BC3D, you have scanned a body 38% smaller than your haulers remapped volume relation to a t9 ... that's a very small hauler... can you confirm that your hauler lost volume on the silly ships expedition? maybe due to its speed ... relative ... lightspeed... you know?i thought - ingame time.

AH, yes, I scanned BC 3 D, that is moon #4.
The Hauler probably lost a lot of paint in the 350,000+ Ls to get there
Well, at least I got a room with a view

If anyone wants to see a really silly system sort-of on the way back to the bubble, HIP 38064 has many silly features. The innermost two planets, a binary pair, orbit inside the fuel scoop zone and are both ringed, yet orbit so close that their rings almost touch - one is also landable. There's a ringed M star with a close-in landable moon and a ringed L star, with a ringed brown dwarf moon that also has three landable moons. My screenshots don't do it justice, so if your interest is piqued I recommend you go there and see for yourself. The system stands out on the galaxy map as one of the bright 'stars' you can see from some way off - the primary is an O-type star.
oh why oh why? because you have been the only FDL!
your body will be A4 ! I'll just need to update the map.

Well after having a busy weekend and Monday with not enough time to play (followed by Beta shenanigans on Tuesday), I finally found time to login. Shame I missed the first SRV race, I'll definitely try to attend the next!
Goemon you're doing some amazing work organising the events and silliest system. Many thanks to you and to all those proposing event locations. It is much appreciated!
The pace of this expedition has been perfect for me, it's given plenty of time to actually explore and as there's no "get-to-the-next-meetup-point-5KLy-away", I don't get too left behind when real life insists on intruding.
I've made my mark on the Silliest System:
I do feel a bit spoiled with my allotment, it's fantastic!
Can't wait to see the map once everyone turns in!

I just wanted to agree with that sentiment. I won't be able to make any of the final meet-ups, so I think I'll slowly head back and see if I can be of any help finding ruins systems, but I've enjoyed getting out and seeing the sights. Thanks!

Should be able to make it for the football match, at least for a bit! Unfortunately RL will butt in once again, so I won't make it for the photoshoot...
Still have to tag my planet on the Silliest system, and still have to post the photos and post/edit the videos I recorded on the SRV races...
Anyone have any recommendations regarding video editing software? Tried a couple of REALLY buggy ones, the results were absolute crap (video/sound cutting out, etc.).
