terraformable

I know this is likely going to be an update in the future based on it seems Fdev have been avoiding touching Terraforming Candidate. But it would be nice to be able to start the Terraforming process in systems we colonize. Though if we are able to finish Terraforming a planet. I'm guessing this...

First off, I'm given to understand that the habitable zone of a star is about three orbits wide at most: were they any more closely packed, you'd get planets getting kicked out of orbit. This makes it quite curious when I run across five planets (plus a sixth co-planet) orbiting the same star...

When scanning a system and deciding on what things are most worth mapping, credits-wise there is one extremely important thing, and that's if the planet is terraformable. This is a special modifier that applies to planets that are/can be put in earth-like conditions, and massively increases its...

I think it would be cool if players could setup/start their own colonies or do so on behalf of superpowers by heading out into the black and finding distant suitable planets in unexplored star systems - could work something like this: cmdr explores; finds an earthlike or terraformable world that...

Is this unique? It is certainly very unusual, I have never seen this anywhere before. It is an aptmosphereless moon (kinda like Freshwater, Isle Of Wight) that is also a terraformable candidate:

So I have elite dangerous for the ps4. But I want to help with the database of explored planets/ RTR and stuff. Is there a thread for posting systems/ planets that have valuable planets in them so PC players can scan and upload into databases for others?

I've seen a lot of different lists, charts, tables, and infographics about how much I can expect to be paid for a given type of stellar body. That's all well and good, and I just made 37 million on my 5k journey to unlock Palin, so I think I'm doing pretty okay... but then I noticed something...

My first question relates to this chart: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/attachment.php?attachmentid=117129&d=1490523708 In the chart above, what is the difference between "honk (red)" and "ads (yellow)". I thought honking was using the advanced discovery scanner than jumping away, what's the...

I think it'd be interesting to hear about your reasons for supporting your faction of choice (or for going independent). I'm particularly interested in reasons based on faction ideology, politics, and history, as I'm still relatively new to the Elite setting and enjoy learning about the factions...
