Note to self: If ever find something interesting, take one screenie with system name showing.More pics I took. Sadly I was more interested in how the paint reflected off the ship and not the planet
Seeing these colorful big boi's makes me really want to get back out into the black. Maybe I will find my 3rd Glowing Green Gas Giant.Well, speaking of the "new GMGs ", I've seen such a screenshot recently. However, the commander, that made it, is still in a process of getting closer to the civilized space to get his tags.

I accidentally discovered GGG #15. I found out about that one in this thread when someone posted a pic of the system and I saw my commander name (Babaa Yaga) on it. The second one was a race with Commander Starsong who had a CODEX tipper of two GGG's. He claimed GGG #18 (Synookio EI-J d9-1 ). He beat me by minutes claiming the data. I went on to Cryaa Ain ZJ-R e4-4 (GGG #19). The commander that stumbled across it and got the CODEX entry didn't get his map data in first and I did, so my second GGG is logged in the game. The second one isn't too impressive except for the fact that there are pink and green glowing boogers on the planet.Third?!? How the heck are you finding them? I can't find one.
Well, I guess it's like exploration FDL (I know one commander using it): no more than 44Lys but has fast scoop almost like Clipper.Exploration in a Vulture?!?!
Hold on, let me get this straight. You discovered GGG #15 sometime before Chapter Four, it was later scanned for the Codex by someone else. Your total number of new GGGs discovered: 1.I accidentally discovered GGG #15.

If you are claiming that you discovered something that you already knew was there because someone else found and uploaded it first (with the Codex, they don't have a choice), just because you sniped the tags from the discoverer... that's dishonest.
We "raced there" to see a new GGG (some of us do that). Neither of us knew if the map data had been turned in until we got to the systems in question. So, we get there, there was no commander name on the planet...race on. You know how exploration works in this game...the first to the finish line gets the credit. Whether you like it or not, honest or dishonest, it doesn't matter. It's not my fault or problem that commanders sit on the map data and I don't.Hold on, let me get this straight.

Then recently, CMDR Qube_Nico discovered Cryaa Ain ZJ-R e-4 on Sept. 15, and CMDR Dormus discovered Synookio EI-J d9-1 on Sept. 17, and both were automatically added to the Codex. CMDR Starsong saw these Codex entries, passed the info on to you, so you both knew that new GGGs were discovered. The two of you raced there to tag the bodies if the original discoverers didn't do it yet, and you managed to swipe the tags from them.
So, your total number of new GGGs discovered: 1. Which is still a lot more than most people do have

But if you aren't, then that's fine.
Yeah, it's fine, as long as you don't claim that you were the one who discovered it.We "raced there" to see a new GGG (some of us do that).

What ever. Bottom line...I tagged it fair and square. You may not like it, don't approve of methods, but it is what it is.Yeah, it's fine, as long as you don't claim that you were the one who discovered it.
Like I wrote and you quoted, but apparently didn't understand, that's fine.What ever. Bottom line...I tagged it fair and square.
But we all know that the one who discovered it was CMDR Qube_Nico.
It depends on the GG class: each and every one has a Codex entry for GGGs. So if there's a class I GGG in the region, but you found a class III GGG, then you get the new Codex entry. But if you found a new class I that would be the second for the region, it would only show up after you upload your data. In that case, you're safe from tag thieves, assuming you didn't auto-upload it.Except you don't if you simply happen upon the system. In the light of douchebaggery, can someone tell me if I were to discover a GGG in a region that already had a GGG discovered, would the new GGG show up anywhere in the Codex ? If the answer is no, does someone have a handy list of regions that have had GGGs discovered as apparently I need to refine my search.
