Just a couple of Earth-likes to post, since I turned back to make sure I got first discovery of an Earth-like with an airless moon, and also because I realised that I had enough money to get a 7B fuel scoop.

And here's one pretty close to Sol, with one ELW, two WWs, two other terraforming candidates and one HMCP:

Also, @ Edelgard Von Rhein: thanks for posting the data values as well! They illustrate nicely that the credits only depend on the Earth-like's size. Although I wonder how much the presence of a ring would add to the value, but unfortunately we don't have such data.
Your post also made me pay more attention to the payouts, and I found it a bit odd that terraformable water worlds are often worth the same amount of credits as Earth-likes are. The payouts could use some adjustment, in my opinion. (For example, Earth-likes are underpriced, neutron stars are overpriced, more exotic stars are underpriced, and so on.)
@ AKIRA MASAKARI: Oh hey, I remember seeing your name quite often when I was looking for an Earth-like near the Jellyfish nebula. Howdy, and thanks!
Also, let me advertise a bit: RMORTI has been posting an ongoing guide with more in-depth information about Earth-likes in the Synuefe sector. If you haven't seen it already, go read up on it!
His work has also been very useful for filling out missing info and screenshots of the planets there.

Thanks Marx, i used to post in the old thread, but since when the Gal Map Search function went crazy, I can't find back several ELW I have tagged, and I kind of gave up.
But when I saw your efforts and your nice sheet that is very usefull for "Science!!!!" I decided to contribute again.
Now i post as i find them, not caring anymore to keep them secret before selling data.
Here's a new one
Planet name: PUEKAAE YI-L B27-9 C3
Distance from Sol: 13977.99 Ly
Orbiting: M (system is triple M, ELW orbits the furthest)
First discovered by: me
P.S. I now notice this one is tidally locked, is it common?

It's not entirely common, but also not that rare. ELWs that orbit close to their stars can often be tidally locked, which should give rise to some interesting things down on the planet. (Flora, fauna, night sky views.)
@ Thrawn29: actually, it was on the list, but it was from the original list and there was no system map screenshot. As it turns out, the first discoverer was credited wrong, so now that's fixed, and you've also been credited. Thanks!
Sure, there is, but you have to be in the system to do it. You can trilaterate the system's coordinates by measuring distances to known reference points: EDDiscovery is probably your best tool for this.

Well, not really a fan of 3rd party software that might be digging into my PC. Let's just say I'm overly cautious and that FD should make it part of the game.
However, this has bugged me for some time now; and I actually think the answer was staring me in the face the whole time.
You actually can get X, Y, Z data directly from the game's navigational map. I've looked and SOL is definitely 0:0:0. I compared this to ADITI and found it to be 73:-338:-159
I think FD just wanted us to find this out on our own.
Each grid appears to be in 10LY X 10LY squares.
If I select ADITI and move the mouse up or down, then the second number changes. So -338 is the distance ADITI is south of the galactic plane as centered on SOL.
I'm going to experiment some more, get the numbers from the navigational map for each ELW and compare; but I think this actually will allow accurate 3D plotting of positions.
[Edit] -
So I played around a little and applied it just to the Pythagorean Theorem:
Knowing now that SOL is 0:0:0 I picked two ELWs with known SOL distance:
This distance is the travel distance, so is not a straight line, but rather a combination of distances between the stars we jump through.
If we assume that ADITI is located at - 73:-338:-159 then the hypotenuse distance to SOL is 345.79LY.
If we asume that SYNUEFE AL-P C21-4 is located at - 28:-461:-118 then the hypotenuse distance to SOL is 461.85LY
This is problematic, because we have not solved for the offset of the planet from the Z-Axis. Also, I
Perhaps have not quite figured out how to read the X,Y,Z positions from the navigational map.
Still, it's in the ballpark in terms of LY distance. You could create a relatively decent 3D depiction of the ELWs using this as a method.
But we can apply the theorem twice and get an accurate distance:
[Edit] I've modified the (+) and (-) marks to match in game.
So:
X axis is (-) left of the SOL~SAGITTARIUS LINE (+) is right.
Y axis is (-) below the galactic plane (+) above.
Z axis is (-) away from SOL towards Barnard's Nebula (+) is between SOL and SAGITTARIUS.
I think it is a two part calculation:
- Part 1 is to determine the hypotenuse distance at your current Y axis using the A, B, lines to determine the C measurements.
- Part 2 is to determine your hypotenuse distance to SOL using the C,D, to determine the E measurements (SOL distance).
I'm pretty sure that the ADITI coordinates are correct. So let's appy those.
LINE A (known): 159LY
LINE B (known): 73 LY
LINE C: answer = 121.28LY
LINE D (known): 461LY
LINE E: answer = 380.60LY which is spot on!
Here are the Earth Likes discovered on my Ragnarok Expedition plus one ancient discovery from my first mini-exploration around the Orion Nebula back in December.

I'm afraid I don't have any way to look up distantance from Sol right now, sorry.
Information on the "Sector" names are a little incomplete because search bug.

Not one, but two carbon stars? Very nice finds!
I'll fill out the missing distances and the exact star types when I'll get to Sol. No idea when that'll be though.
Oh, and sorry, but until I get a screenshot confirming that the Statue of Liberty Sector DL-Y D28 contains an Earth-like planet, I can't add it. It does look like one, but I'd like to be certain.

I managed to dig up the 2 missing "sector" system maps! I looked up the rough locations based on my log of systems visited and filtered by exact star type and eventually tracked both down. I've added the screenshots and also coordinates for each to make it possible to relocate them later for distance measurements. All corrections and enhancements are now in the edited post.
I have a 2nd character who isn't out exploring but unfortuntely doesn't have Sol access yet. I'll keep working on that, in which case maybe I'll be able to come back with distances one day...
