While the planet surface generation got better since launch of odyssey it is still extremely bland and tasteless; unlike horizons, where every planet looked unique and the surface was unique with canyons, craters, and mountains of various sizes all over the surface, to the point where you could...
UPDATED:
Incorrect Premise:
"Previous research by individual commanders (Jackie Silver, Alot and other Commanders [1]) claims that only AA-A boxels can contain a H size system, and that there should only be one H size system per boxel." [2][3]
Corrected Premise:
A common misconception existing...

I'm currently out in the middle of nowhere exploring.
While i was browsing though the galaxy map, i found a random system with a option to buy cartographic data from.
I traveled to the system (Without buying the data) to see what was in it, and saw it was completely undiscovered.
I've mapped...
I'm not going to really say much about the Scarab, because it really is a good general purpose vehicle. Unfortunately, the Scorpion was given to the players for combat, and to put it plainly, it's not good at it. I will give it some credit though. It does handle better than the Scarab, the...
Having exobiology life suddenly pop in at 100m (or just over 150m) really really sucks.
Or make it so the SRV has a exobio ping. Or the ship.
If your not going to fix the absolutely garbage draw distance, give the player a tool in game to over come it.
This is absolutely silly that these...
Here's an exotic subject that has come up throughout the years, but more and more often lately: Green Gas Giants. Whether you're looking to find a new one, or would just like to know more about them, read on!
Let's cut to the chase and instead of introducing what Green Gas Giants are, let's...
This topic seems to come up more and more often lately, so I thought I'd write another guide. Note that this will follow a more practical approach, mostly focused on explorers who heard about boxels and boxels surveys, and it won't go into detail about how sectors and boxel positions are...
1. Feeling the gravity on foot. Have you noticed that your character runs with the same animation on the 0.05G planet and on the 2g planet? It ruins the atmosphere terribly. Make 10 animations. And let different animations be on each type of planets, let's say you can break the planets on types...
Arrived at NGC 7822 and visited Cupid's Arrow... the message there says "Once arrived, this area is filled with black holes and vibrant stars".
The vibrant stars are obvious, but I don't see any black holes when I switch the galaxy map to show only non-sequence stars. So I suppose that means...
Pioneer plugin for EDMC
Pioneer is a tool for explorers to have an at-a-glance view of key system information. It will predict a total possible as well as current value of all exploration data in a system. Due to limitations of EDMC journal data parsing, Pioneer works best on newly visited and...
Happy to announce the release of version 1.2.0!
Customizable colors: don't like how the Buddy looks? In the settings you can now customize the colors of the windows, their content and icons.
New indicator for planet touchdowns: the Landable Body icon now changes after a touchdown, the state...
Elite Dangerous Exploration Buddy is a new companion application for Odyssey (Live mode), that displays relevant information about the route, systems, bodies and biologicals and shows you at a glance what is interesting from an exploration point of view. It uses data from the game (local journal...
Hi I was in elite dangerous (ED) about 1000hours and I have lots of suggerstion. ( I m not eng user so my writing is not perfect. sorry for that)
ED experience get more boring after i engaged into exploration game play. there are nothing in large galaxy. just empty.
ED need new motivation to...
We are growing and looking for brand new players and veterans to come fly with us. We are setup and ready to give basic flight school as well as advanced trainings in all areas of Elite Dangerous. New players will receive Combat Ship, Exploration Ship, and Trade Ship upon completion of basic...
This subject was originally posted by @ORANGEORANGE here , but I figured that continuing discussing it there would be off-topic, and it's interesting enough to be posted on its own, so here we go.
There's a cluster of unexplored sectors at the end of the Outer Arm, beyond what's known as the...

There is a gap in ships focused on the three primary career paths in Elite, the Alliance is also the only super power that does not have a third tier unlock. The Federation gets a powerful Corvette, and the Empire gets the elegant Cutter. I propose an Alliance, tier 3 ship focused on...
Greetings, best way to explain is to show:
I wasn't moving anything and got just bumped out when trying to scan it, first time i get this issue I didn't recorded it, this is the second today (never had this before)
I had to go next to said planet to scan it.
Anyone getting that issue?
Seems...
Hi, I played ED from release but stopped when Odyssey hit ( I have a carrier, 10 or so fully equipped ships and about 30 billion cr) - I will have some time over xmass to play again starting maybe as early as this weekend and would like some advice. I would like to progress my exploration and or...
With how the payouts for exobio samples have shot through the roof recently, and how thin water atmospheric bodies tend to have the highest payouts on average, I decided to write up the data and analysis on them. Well, I did look into them before, but never cleaned up and posted the data...
Right, so I'm out in the black and thought I'd do some biological scanning. After spending half an hour drifting aimlessly around the "blue" area for the one and only signal, a biological one, I found a site of Luteolum Anemones.
I scanned the first thing I'm looking for easy enough. I then...
Hi,
Exploration rant here.
I've been out in the black for about a year now. Off and on for sure. I went from the Bubble to Sag - A to Beagle and now to Colonia. And all I have to show for it is about 300M in data. I made 600M in like 5 weeks playing with some friends doing combat missions...
Asterion is a PC group currently recruiting and is dedicated to the building of a Player Faction. Squadron currently has 2 fleet carriers to call home. Commanders who love exploration can enjoy trips out into the black away from the eyes of the bubble, while other more hands on commanders can...
What is the fastest way to grind Exobiologist Rank ? Right now Im scanning Stratum Tectonicas that have been found before, that means it gives me 806k each. I was using and grinding rock body that has thin water atmosphere but didnt explore before. But between the systems that spansh gave me...
Greetings fellow CMDRs!
What the title of this post says.
For some time, I wanted to publish the news of an achievement of CMDR Rick Floss and myself. Managed to spare some time to finish the last details and publish the news.
This was CMDR Rick Floss's idea. I was asked if I would like to...
The Chimaera Void Expedition is an expedition deep into the region Xibalba. Our final destination is Sepositus Beacon, the furthest system away from Sagittarius A* It has a similar view to Beagle Point. There will be several stops along the way of nebulae and other POIs. If you want to come...
I found this world a while ago. I was not the first to discover it (it's on the Colonia Road so many different people have their nametags in the system). It's an interesting stop for a trip to Colonia. It's a super-hot Jupiter that orbits a brown dwarf extremely quickly (once every 1/3 of a day)...
From the people who brought you the popular Apollo 11 and Apollo 15 Expeditions...
A voyage to the darkest depths, and the brightest parts of the Milky Way, and beyond!!!
This is a journey from the foundations of CMDR Jameson's beginnings in the Lave system (Elite 1984), through the galaxy as...

It has a very high temperature (592 Kelvin (605.93 Fahrenheit for the other 'Muricans ) ) and is located very close to the star. It has no atmosphere or pressure to keep the ice in place. I want to know how this planet formed and how is it not a scalding hot WW. It's mostly ice and there isn't...
I finished my trip to Beagle Point before I made my account on the forums. so I decided for my first post, i'd make a compilation of all the notable things I found on my journey.
the first few legs of my trip were pretty unremarkable. I then stumbled upon this star system

I wrote up for myself a bunch of systems in the Vulcan Gate region, but then I had an idea later: why not compile all of them into a public list and share it with others? Especially if other interesting systems will be found here too, or if I missed any.
So, with that in mind, here's a CMDR's...
Expose your findings to the world.
Become one of the pioneers of Elite Dangerous.
Hello to all explorers,
The project was born a short time ago :
Being in love with the game and especially the exploration gameplay, a few veteran friends and I decided to make it a community and epic thing...
Hey! I’ve been playing Elite: Dangerous for a while, and I‘ve decided to start writing articles about my favourite aspects of the game! My first path into Elite was exploration. I had no idea what the hell I was doing. I decided to go exploring in a Dolphin of all things. Unengineered. I took it...
Currently there is an elaborate fuel store that serves no purpose when the normal fuel button exists. I suggest the addition of new fuel types to the game. I am not sure how this would be justified scientifically, but I would imagine it would be something along the lines of adding other elements...
With the new content coming in Update 11(Fleet Carrier Interiors) I wanted to make a proposal. I call it the Outer Rim Initiative. The Goal would be to find isolated pockets
that require a fleet carrier to get into and out of. I know that at least one place was discovered before fleet...
