ELW bucket list

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.
Opened a ticket. Thanks.
 
Has this been fixed yet? If not, I wonder if you could wing up with someone, have them honk the system, and get a multi-tag (not sure what the proper term is).
The answer was they can't help. Today I did sell data on alt.

The quality of those screenshots is quite terrible, but at least the text is legible if you zoom in. Looks like it's Boeths YZ-P d5-487. Hope somebody will upload it to EDSM shortly, but in the meantime, @Alyssa : congrats on your find!

Yes, Boeths YZ-P d5-487 the system. Sorry for the quality, and thank you! I'd be more happy if FDev would be more helpful with the tickets. Asked a progress delete back before I did sell that data (I would lost about 25KLy discovery for that one), but the answer was 'we can't help'. I think they'd can, but I did let it go. My alt have tags on them, and it's fine. Looks like I'm getting old, had no mood to fight more for it.
 
Yesterday I stumbled upon an ELW orbiting a CN main star, with no other stars in the system. Nothing else special about it (no rings, no moon etc.), that puts it in the very rare bracket.
But I wondered how many ELWs would fulfill exactly that config, orbiting the carbon main, with no other stars in the system. As opposed to carbon main systems, where the ELW orbits a secondary (FGKM) star, or whether that's a significant factor at all in the appearance of ELWs in carbon main systems.

So selling whole page is the way to go? Issue is selling on carrier or in stations too?
How long is the bug known?

I recently looked at this too, and if memory serves, about a third of ELWs in carbon star main star systems orbit the carbon star directly. Let me check though... If we're talking about CN stars specifically, then about two-thirds of the Earth-likes there orbit the star directly, and two-thirds of those are solo star systems too.
If we're talking about carbon stars in general, then the same applies for C and CJ, but with MS and S, ELWs around other stars are more common. It makes sense, too - not all carbon stars are the same, after all.

The differences aren't large enough to separate them into two categories here, mind.

I'm not sure if the bug is still present, but the problem was with selling individual systems and on carriers only. You could test this out by first selling a system in which you don't mind not getting tags.

The problem was I think not just the single map selling, but data sell on FC. They fixed this on June 19, I did sell data just goddamn 4 days earlier.

A small update to this: the "ELWs with 2-5 moons" have changed to "ELWs with 2 moons" moved up to the Very Rare category, and the remaining has been extended to "ELWs with 3-7" moons.
 
I have a suggestion regarding ringed ELWs. They are in the "Very Rare" section, as seen in the list. But I think I would make one exception of it: ELWs having an icy ring. I didn't come across one so far, and until now I didn't see other CMDRs reporting an ELW with an ice ring. So maybe, I would put an "ELW with ice ring" into the GFLwT or maybe the "Impossible" category.

Own experience: All ringed ELWs I saw so far (3 of my 76 so far visited ELWs had rings) had metal-rich or rocky rings, so an icy ring would definitely be a galactic sensation. A neat thing to hunt for in a sector survey. :)

Looking at the EDSM data, I don't even see any ELWs with icy rings. Has one been reported somewhere?
If not, then I could still add them to the very last section, of stuff which might or might not exist.
