Star classes to search for orbiting wolf rayets ?
- Thread starter Imperios
- Start date
Well in the Galmap filter there is a star class Checkbox for Wolf Rayet stars. They are a class of their own.

Looking for high mass Systems is the way to go. Tagged a dozen of those impressive stars that way.

The ingame filter only filters systems by their primary star and not by additional stars found in a system. Looking for high mass AA-A H systems was for sure a nice way a while ago, but even with a list of all randomly generated region names i didn't found any wolf rayet that isn't on edsm already.

As you can see in the list in the Forum thread I linked, and due to their WR's are found ONLY in AA-A H Systems. Whether they are the Primary star or not. Sorry to hear yours are all already tagged. But do not despair, they are there, outside. Look for the edges of the galaxy, those that aren't much visited yet. You may want to bring a ship with a huge jump range and jumponium. When those are required, chances are good the stars aren't tagged, at all.
Note that by the edges, you should go to the bottom or top of the galaxy, as you won't find any mass code H systems along the rim. You might want to look at EfilOne's masscode sectors map, fire up EDSM and your in-game galaxy map, and look up specific sectors. Chances are, if you find some in-game that's not on EDSM yet, it'll be untagged.
I don't know the situation now, but several months back, I could find some untagged WRs even though I wasn't looking specifically for them. Of course, perhaps some Commanders have been vacuuming them up since then, or maybe I was just lucky, but who knows. But mass code H systems are the most rare ones, so if anything will eventually "run out", they'll be the first.
Looking at my local copy of the EDSM data, it looks like it agrees that the procedurally generated WRs are only in the "AA-A H" systems. Within those, I was able to find these as primary star types, in cases where the WR was a secondary:
A (Blue-White super giant) Star: 105
A (Blue-White) Star: 37
B (Blue-White) Star: 73
Herbig Ae/Be Star: 9
O (Blue-White) Star: 145
A (Blue-White super giant) Star: 105
A (Blue-White) Star: 37
B (Blue-White) Star: 73
Herbig Ae/Be Star: 9
O (Blue-White) Star: 145
You're not maybe able to make something like a statistical analysis of the wolf rayets in the edsm database on a monthly basis ? Like how many new wolf rayets have been added to edsm per month through the last year ?
As long as the dates in the data are accurate, it might be possible. Hmm. I'll take a look.
For just a basic text output, I was able to pull this pretty easily:
2016/11: 73
2016/12: 42
2017/01: 114
2017/02: 208
2017/03: 458
2017/04: 424
2017/05: 488
2017/06: 420
2017/07: 308
2017/08: 228
2017/09: 359
2017/10: 591
2017/11: 518
2017/12: 679
2018/01: 614
2018/02: 638
2018/03: 1187
2018/04: 453

(Interestingly, more have been found this month so far, than in April)
Wolf Rayyets generally come along with other massive stars like Herbigs, O type stars and white supergiants.
Wow that's a lot more then i expected
Seems i just need to look further to find them ^^

If you don't mind travelling then many sectors the other side of Sag A* have AA-A H systems that have not been tagged at all. Rhuedgo, around 33k lyrs from the bubble has loads of untagged AA-A H systems full of Wolf Rayets,Black holes and other massive systems I found too plentiful to scan more than a handful of there.
Thanks
I think i found one myself now around 7-8k ly east from Rhuedgo sector (and way closer to my current position) but in case it's already tagged i will take a look over to Rhuedgo (or maybe i will go there anyway, just for fun ^^)Sometimes you need just a bit luck ^^ Found one while on my way to the core only 12k ly from sol

Strangely it seems to be a pretty unexplored region, a couple others AA-A H systems that haven't been tagged, i didn't saw any tagged systems through the last 50+ jumps and a quite interesting edge of space it seems. A lot of systems with high amounts of planets, guess i will stay here a while
Thanks to everyone for the help

Actually that's probably a good area to look for undiscovered stuff in general. The most heavily traveled paths out of the bubble are toward Sgr-A* and Colonia, and where you are is just to the east of that route to the core, instead of leaning westward like the Colonia path. People go that way, but in nowhere near the numbers that the other coreward-ish directions get.
Seems like
Even the herbig Ae/Be nearby was untagged Do they always have so much companion stars or is this a pretty unusual one ?: https://imgur.com/a/xe50ZPq
Herbigs do have the tendency to mix things up on the system map. One of the reasons I usually drop into such systems when passing near by.Seems like

At first I was also thinking Herbigs do have a lot of companions. After exploring several dozens of them, it seems most of them are solitary stars, but WHEN they have companions, oh Boy are they numerous

With the Herbigs, my experience has been that the high mass Herbig systems tend to have a bunch of companions, but the low mass ones are silitary.
