How do you find the extraordinary?

A month into my third trip to Beagle Point and sadly I do tend to agree with the OP. The game is very generic and FSS on every fifth identikit system or so to reveal a handful of rocky bodies or ice worlds which even with FTD are worth booger all at the exploration data exchange. I would have at least welcomed a bit of variety and different colours as you pass through the various systems - the X games manage this along with lovely ambient music too (Getsu Fune, anyone).

Yep, they definitely should rework the possible terrains and colours. Also add more Nebula textures. I feel like only have three or so for the procedural nebulas.
 
Is there a cheat sheet of some kind ? Biggest found? hottest this, smallest, fastest that etc ?

I am 4k out of Beagle Point (still heading out) I jumped into a system and the star was so large it effected my flight controls made it feel very funny so I knew something was up (like extra floaty). I checked the stats for the star though and really didn't seem out the ordinary at all although visually it was massive. I just moved on, I don't know if this is rare or not or how to tell really.

Edit: maybe I will look at the space observatory in the other thread although I'm not sure I want to install it however genuine it looks ! I'd rather just be able to browse records and get an idea

I should point out that the planets are already a lot more colorful and varied than they used to be. ;) I get what you're saying though.
 
If I'm not mistaken they're somewhat common around very hot stars (class O, class B, etc.). I just stumbled over a few yesterday after adding class O stars to my filter (which is otherwise locked to brown dwarfs right now). They had pressures in the low millions, not as high as yours. I just remembered that I had actually come to the Empyrean Straits region to look for high-g worlds, not to sift through brownies. Kinda happened along the way somehow. So I re-added the hottest star class for a little variety, as there are a few within the brown dwarf layer as well.

Oh, and I'm sure you'll be able to find your very own orange giant soon enough. :)

Let's see what you'll pick for a target after that. :)

Found an undiscovered orange giant today :) my second :)
