As Ahab in space, what is your White Whale?

Mine:

Neutron star system with:
  • a jet black metallic planet with:
    • a "moon" (or binary friend) of same/similar type.
    • ring(s).
  • a lily white gas giant, with rings.
  • a red gas giant, with or without rings.
  • 3+ asteroid belts.
  • secondary/binary neutron (or a multitude of them thereof).

Excellent survey : too bad I cannot rep you right now because I just repped another of your posts 10 mn ago ...

My answer is ... complicated :D

I wanted my own ringed ELW, I found it \o/ : SKAUDE BV-Q C20-17 3

Then I wanted an ELW in a Neutron star system : found it as well : EOL PROU UJ-R E4-1978 B 5

But I still do not have a Wolf Rayet to my name :-( So yeah : to find an undiscovered Wolf Rayet. If you have any hint to find one, I'd be grateful :)

You're most likely to find them in <sector name> AA-A H systems. Best chance of finding untagged ones are within 10k LY of Sag A* where there are a lot of them.

I found more than a hundred in a 1kly x 1kly area or so, somewhere in the periphery of the Core, but I'd have to look up the sectors. Could be some left there.

Wolf-Rayet
ELW moon orbiting a ringed.
Ringed ELW orbiting a ringed world.
binary ringed T-Tauri (photo op heaven)

Probably more but those come right to mind.

Thanks Allitnil and Qohen Leth, bookmarking the thread \o/

I'm currently doing the "Luxury Tour" expedition, but as soon as it is over, I'll be on my way to find a WR. I must say, I did not think of the very dense space near the core but that makes sense. I'll post here if (when !) I find my very own Wolf Rayet :)

Planets with axial tilts of exactly 0 or 90 degrees. I have found several that are tenths of a degree off my target but never the exact measurement.

I’ll keep on looking...

That's how I finally found one. The first time I started using this trick, I found an undiscovered one almost immediately (I was about 3k NE of Colonia at the time). I just took the current sector name, and did a text search with the "AA-A H" appended, and kept hitting the "next" arrow until one came up. I highly recommend this method.

To be Moby Richard to your Ahab, wouldn't you have to die at it's hand?

Apologies to anyone half way through the book.

Mine's really modest: big* ELW with a low-orbiting** landable moon.
*radius bigger than Earth's
**closer to the planet than the Moon to Earth

Things I'm hoping to be first discoverer of while exploring, but are really, really rare:

- Glowing green giants (life-bearing gas giants with fluorescent green stripes). Four known, one unverifiable.
- Glowing white giants (class V gas giants in close orbits of O-class or neutron stars, over 9000 K, glow bright white). Four known.
- A "naturally-occurring Bast": a system where there's only one star and one Earth-like planet, with no other objects in the system. None known, one unverifiable.
