100 billion star systems

[Pyros]

400 billion stars (approximately). 100 billion star systems (again, approximately).

Like reality, most systems have more than one star in them. A large number are binary... but there are trinary and quaternary (more?) also.

While there are systems with more than four stars (well, I think there are...), the average stars per star system should quite smaller - therefore the 100 billion star system and 400 billion stars doesn't seem coherent.

While afaik there is a lack of clarification, for the time being and taking FD/DB statements on the subject, I think there are almost 400 billion star systems in the game. Yes a ridiculous number . Ofc that it may be 400 billion stars in star systems (this last one an unknown quantity).

I was trying to say I knew that ED had (approximately) 100 billion star systems, but I was not aware that the number of star systems was increased. And now because of that, I'm more eager than ever to play this game! I only hope that we can find some alien species (beyond of the Thargoid, obviously) in a galaxy so big (big?! it is HUGE!).

I think this is a complete list of all the systems we'll have, centered on eranin. Hermitage currently lacks an 'i' and Pi-fang didnt work in the searsh bar, but you can click on it(or i did something wrong).

I assumed 20LY from eranin was the limit.

What is this link? I clicked on it and I was send to some site asking for something called "decription key".

Lol - on a iphone that link tries to install some application. Urgh!

How big did you think it was going to be? The numbers start to get silly, we won't be able to visit that amount of stars in our life time

it should link to a download link(on mega) to a pdf file.

Works ok in Chrome/Windows. Asks for the Mega app to be installed on Chrome/Android.

Ooh - in Chrome on OSX it auto installs a chrome browser extension, even if the browser used to click the link is Safari.

Just not needed at all!

forget it use the jpg file, much more simpler.

Uhmm guys....you are forgetting dark systems (who've never had the mass to form stars or were formed by a conglomeration of rogue bodies in time).

Wow! if this list of just 50 stars systems already is impressive, imagine one with 400 billions of star systems.

And don't forget the brown dwarfs!

Thanks for easy to read list. Goes well with todays peek of the week pic

Dark (starless) systems are not star systems .

Systems with brown dwarves are star systems like any other. Actually IIRC it is the most common type of stars, albeit harder to detect than the red hypergiants

Indeed, very handy, rep for Nico!

All I can say is wow..

I'd heard the talk but didn't really want to hope. But just noticed the new text on the main page that specifically refers to 100 billion systems. I guess its official.

100 billion star systems

We could have every gamer in the world playing and there would still be stuff to discover..

Yep 100 billion sounds nice but is a little out there should be 400 billion systems some will be dead some will never be discovered in my life time.

I was even asked how long did I think the game would take to complete ,
I asked how old are you now . Two Cmdr's asked the same question one was 25 years old the other 36 , my reply was ok sounds like you may make it to most of the game world if you live to be 300 years old.

I said dark system not dark solar system, way to overcorrect.
Oh and brown dwarfs aren't stars as they did not pass break even conditions so may wanna rethink that one too.
