Found my first NSP within 5 minutes of firing up the beta, still haven't found one of my own in live
I have visited a couple of already known ones but I am still waiting for my very own!

Hey Varonica, I've seen your name on stuff out that my way.
All I can suggest is what you're probably already doing. Sleuthing the galmap and looking for missing stuff from whats been found. My finds were ice and silicate crystals. There are 7 types of each, and I'd noticed elswere they were found close to each other in clusters.
I have been doing the same thing chasing down anenomes too.
Though we've got to be careful with the bugs in the codex - discovered stuff not showing up. But i haven't had that problem in any of the rim regions. Maybe it's only happening in the interior regions? Hope it gets fixed soon. I cant imagine switching on tomorrow and finding all these discoveries today we're actually found by someone else previously. Would be absolutely gutting...
Anyway, best of luck - you'll turn up something!
About 100,000ly and found two. All down to chance, as usual.
While not fool-proof (not everybody submits their data), you can check on EDSM if you're the first to log that particular discovery..
Funny thing is I found some crystal spikes just today of the planetary kind, complete chance, had to go off my route to scoop fuel and there they were around an A type star. A few more jumps and a few dwarfs later I had to leave the route again for another fuel scoop this time to a nearby B type and here I have four bodies with bio, at least three of them anemones. If I hadn't been flying with a small fuel tank and had to leave my plotted route to scoop I would never have found them, so yes that's got to be the luckiest thing ever!

I do check yeah, mostly its way out of date, in the outer galaxy anyways. I'd submit my data but I don't know how or if i even can. I'm on xbox - i connected the app a couple of months back but the app doesnt record most systems I pass through so I don't use it.
I started a thread over on the xbox forum a week or two ago asking if there was a way I could enter data to the EDSM codex when I passed through a region, but I didn't get any answers. My guess is us xboxer's aren't able to update their codex.
Though please tell me if im wrong...
Congrats! So you do have a NSP under your belt.[up]
Neither. Just a bit of descriptive text that probably has been unlocked already in another region anyway.
In terms of finding them in undiscovered systems, I've found several already, at least a half dozen systems with them. But all of them have been "proto-lagrange clouds", and all of them in the Inner Orion Spur. The only ones I've seen outside of the IOS are ones that I visited from Codex entries, or in otherwise well established systems, such as near the base camps for DW2, or systems in Colonia. Discovering my own in these other regions is still something I'm waiting for.
I'm starting to get a little discouraged about my chances of finding any undiscovered NSPs now. I spent the last week on the way from WP6 to WP7 doing nothing but hitting every kind of system that was mentioned in the Codex as having a likelihood for some kind of NSP. The ONLY system I found an NSP in was the system Explorer's Anchorage is in. W... T... F...? (I did make around 250MCr for my troubles, but my DW2 CMDR has more credits than he'll ever need, so that's not my motivation for exploration).
I've been saying it for a few weeks now (especially after getting my 2nd false "First Reported" message for Anemones) - The Codex is a lie. I have no g idea HOW the entries that are in there now were ever found - I sure as hell can't seem to do it, even using the hints in it.
All that said, I still think the new system is much better than the old one, but I'm utterly mystified at how people are finding these things.

Hey sorry about the false positive's you've had, good to see you're still trying as that kind of think can puncture your will pretty effectively.
I said before but if you find somewhere already discovered like the crystals or metallic spikes maybe. Then bookmark all the different types of those things (eg ice crystals, silicate crystals, and i think (haven't looked) metallic crystals each have 7.
If these bookmarks are in a cluster, go there.
Take note what star types they were found in.
Where I just did this the 2 systems already found were around f type stars for instance. I deselected everything else in map mode, set route plotting to econimical, and just trawled back and forth in the area. Found better than 30 systems there undiscovered. In the core you might not get the first dscovered entry to the codex, but you might well find plenty of your own systems with NSPs.
I can't vouch 100 percent that this will work anywhere you go, just trying to help out.
The Codex is buggy and should not be considered reliable.
I know, ironic.

So Will and Sally were on last nights Lave Radio and Sally dropped a pretty big hint that we should be experimenting more with the stellar phenomena (around the 51 minute mark). Sounds like there are traits we haven't discovered yet!

I'm sure there's quite a few "traits", but so far only Biologicals in Orbit (Space) ever exhibited any for all I know.
Plus... *ehm*... What's the point?
All you get for discovering new "traits" is a lousy 2500Cr, a bugged placeholder String HUD Message (lol) and the additional line in the Codex (not even your name attached to it).
I've discovered a few but nothing ever came of it.
Seems a tad pointless. Nice that these exist, but there's no benefit or anything interesting to discovering those (?)
Felt more like "Useless Achievement : Unlocked!" moments. And an invitation into a (seemingly useless) time sink, since it takes alot of time tinkering around.
And that the "trait discovery" is entirely undocumented probably doesn't help either. My 1st were pure luck, didn't even know these "traits" were a thing.
Plus a few ones don't even register, i.e. some Gourds/Mollusc "start following Player when within close Range".
Only investigated the Codex closer due to the bugged HUD discovery Message I couldn't make any sense of.

Interesting – I just stumbled on some Stolon Pods out in the rim. I note that I found these in a K Class star system, but the codex noted that they were found in Y class star systems. I also note that my discovery information was not updated to the CODEX following my findings? Isn’t that sort of the point of the Codex – if I find it in another star system it updates the Codex to help others find it?
I say this because a couple of week s ago I was wandering around Y class star systems exclusively, trying to find one – with no success and then here I accidentally bump into them in a K class system when I had stopped looking.

It would be much better if the codex could include a list of these sorts of things. Only the first discovered gets in, so everyone in the future are tripping out of their way to see that particular occurance of say stolon trees, when there are probably 10 others closer to hand. As for finding those in a K class system - maybe worth a bug report so fdev might update the info on where they're found?

I stumble on 2 in the same system at the start of my journey to Sagi A...
Quite near the bubble and was 1st one in the said system, lucky i guess.
