I love a good tactic, thanks. The engineering wars continue....

There is something very satisfying about two huge beams, while the target tries to SCB...

So, time for another "What are you up to" message.
My first account is still busy (occasionally) with circumnavigating the Galaxy. Still up in the north-western segment (slowly edging my way towards more north than west), I discovered a "green" (all FSD supercharging materials available) system. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that a binary pair of landables did not only hold Polonium and Yttrium respctively, but also bio sites - and those bio sites turned out to be Crystalline Shards.
So, in the following pictures, each of the echoes on my SRV's scanner (and there were many more beyond range) represents one chunk of material, yielding three units each
For Polonium:
and for Yttrium:
After having filled my storage with these premium FSD boost materials, The Abyss looming in my future lost much of its dread.
Yes, I left the system designation in the pictures on purpose. Explorers are welcome to refuel here, and it will still be quite some time before I return to the Bubble (or any other inhabited system) to sell my exploration data.

That is some find! What a great re-fuelling stop for The Abyss. Have you submitted it to the Galactic Mapping Project as a POI?
You think I should? I'll try, once I think of a suitable name. EDSM link, just in case: https://www.edsm.net/en/system/id/44899172/name/Prai+Gruia+QT-Q+e5-6
Oh definitely! I use the galactic map from ED Discovery a lot when out in the black, as it has all the POIs in it. Many of those POIs are “Green” systems to aid travellers, especially on the edges of arms or in sparse areas. A system like this, with two planets so close together with guaranteed G5 mats, plus the interest of the Crystal Shards should definitely get their attention.
It is going in as a bookmark in my map

Decided to rake out Rameses Niblic III - I don't often use the DBX but I thought I'd give it another go and practice some photography:
And then something curious happened. I was going to a planet for some raw materials and found one that met requirements. Volcvanism? Check. Mapped? Check.
But um... where all the geo's at?
I think I must be losing the plot.

Curiouser and curiouser - did you try mapping it yourself?
Tyres, if you did map it, then are you by any chance in “normal space”, i.e not in Supercruise? I’m not sure the planetary POIs show up unless you are in Supercruise, much like the USS’s, Degraded Emissions, Distress Calls, and all the other stuff that isn’t nailed down.
Of course, it’s not beyond the realm of possibility that you might have uncovered a bug

Planetary poi's show up in 'normal' space.Else we'd lose them when we transitioned between the two.
I must be imagining this now, but I thought there was a time where they vanished unless you were locked on to them?
It’s been a long day of doing nothing and putting the Chrimbo deccies up. I’ll blame any inconsistencies in my memory on the mulled wine I made earlier
@ Spaceman Si .Now don't be too hasty.Getting hold of the wrong end of the stick is kind of a speciality of mine.You may well be right,i'm going off memory here, and seem to be a lightning rod for confuslement. Pretty sure someone who knows what they're talking about will be along soon to point out the errors.

Lol. All the time I've played Elite, never noticed that before.
Ahaaaaa!
Map star filters?
Nope.They're all on.By Captain Corelli's kazoo, i hope it's not raxxlaaa.That would PO everyone.
Maybe it's where it used to be.But i can't see it.
Interesting - there is indeed nothing shown there not even when showing the little orange arcs over other nearby stars.
I suspect it is just the locator / label for the nebula:
