That is amazing. Also, that looks very much like a huge class B primary - meaning this is almost certainly a mass code h, possibly g system - this should narrow the search somewhat. Do you know the sector this was in? Or just the rough area - if so, how “rough”? (Don’t mention here in case someone decides to search it out...)
ELW bucket list
- Thread starter marx
- Start date
I think it's just a B0 Vz star in an e-mass code. The 0 is a lie but they can still get pretty hot.
Possibly - but the curve on the star suggests it is large as well as hot, and the distance from entry is very high. Perhaps the temperature range could be reverse engineered from the distance, and potentially mass range too?
Edit: Seems it's not huge. Could be masscode e/f, so likely extremely difficult to track down.

The problem is, it's in one of those giant space cubes filled with thousands upon thousands of B class...
I've mapped such a wide area I'm actually contemplating it's not a B class at all. Could it be an oddball A class maybe? Would maybe explain the wide orbit, as there are a few superhot A class out there. The widest of those I've found had terraforming candidates at 30-40 kLs out, if I don't remember it wrong.
What's the rarity of an ELW inside a planetary nebula? Found this about a year ago.

Unfortunately, since the game doesn't log planetary nebulae, it's hard to tell exactly how many there might be. That said, there are likely thousands of planetary nebulae, and with the exceptions of neutron stars, all of their primary star types are quite inhospitable to ELWs. With these two together, they'd likely fall into either the very rare or the GFLwT category.
Besides, these days (and even a year ago) finding an untagged planetary nebula was cause for congratulations already. One with an ELW, even more so. So, congrats!
I wouldn't call that unfortunate lol It's rare no matter what!
I was more hoping you'd know if people had found more since I needed at least two more locations lol No worries!
Hehe, the unfortunate part is that the game doesn't log planetary nebulae in the journals at all. Finding an ELW is never unfortunate!
Oh, in that case, here you go: Pueloi KM-W e1-46, Schee Bli JX-T e3-4747 (two ELWs in the system, one being an ELM), Aishaind YE-Z e2264. These are the ones I know of, plus yours.
You can check with Marx, but I believe that's not "extremely" rare
Well, it says the system's main star, which looks to be M on your screenshot. With nothing else added, that puts it in the Rare (1-5%) category.
I'm playing just few days and this is my first found uncharted ELW(s). And they should go in two rare categories at once if i'm not mistaken anything:
- binary ELW pair
- ELW co-orbits two or three stars

Your first ELW find was this pair? Lucky!
And sure, usually a combination of two categories pushes it to a more rare category. In this case, let's take a look at it... Binary ELWs are around 3%, co-orbiting two stars 4.5%, so yep, the two combined go down to very rare.
So you mean the system has three ELWs? If so, then that's very rare. With a neutron star main, just about on the edge of being the rarest, too.
I mean the system has 4 ELWs.
Ah. I thought that "tf HMC ELW binary, another ELW, tf HMC -tf WW binary, tf HMC - ELW binary, all orbiting 4th M star" had three, but I guess I misinterpreted it. Well, in that case, there's absolutely no question where it belongs to, as there are only three such systems known. Congratulations! Will you upload it to EDSM, or share its location?
Sorry, if it was equivocal.
I'm sold that system map on a DSSA carrier, but if I open that system map it still shows no first to discover tags on them. I just hope FDev will fix this in the next patch, as they do, I'll post screenshots here.
Unfortunately I'm not member on EDSM.
I hope you get that sorted out quickly as there hasn't been another quadruple ELW in years! (Until last month apparently)
Did you sell the system's data individually, or did you do a bulk sale? (Entire page.) If it's the former, then it's a known bug. Just to be sure though, I'd recommend contacting support to make sure they fix your tags - there might not be a blanket fix for everyone's.
