Brown Dwarf Systems and POIs

[HunterMemnoch]

Most people when exploring will skip brown dwarf systems because they're most likely going to be full of icy planets and nothing more. I try to scan them because I feel bad for them. Nobody likes them you know But I was wondering, have we, the community, found anything interesting in a system whose main star is a brown dwarf? Are there stations orbiting brown dwarfs in the bubble, any crashed sites or any sort of POIs in a brown dwarf system?

According to EDSM.. lots.

How you do you filter for that in EDSM? I couldn't find it in EDSM or EDDB.

Yep. Brown Dwarf systems make excellent places to hide things.

Here’s a good example in the bubble: https://www.edsm.net/en_GB/system/bodies/id/24571/name/Hermitage

EDSM: The Bodies page (Star Class = L and Populated = Yes).

What's special about that system?

Nothing. There’s no real reason to go there, just extremely cold icy bodies which there’d be no reason for anyone to colonise. Kind of place where people aren’t going to be roaming around much...

Some with L class dwarfs may have an Earth-like world in orbit around them, but they're supposedly quite rare. One example as [posted] by Commander Orvidius in another thread would be [Eol Prou VL-B b18-80].

I know one commander who looks for them specificaly, and he's got a thread about them

Inside (and around) the bubble, any star system can have some interesting stuff. Outside the bubble, chances are that they'll only have a handful of icy bodies: however, there are some rare interesting systems, such as the one mentioned above.
Think about it this way: by the numbers, an ELW in an L dwarf main star system is worth more than three thousand "standard" ELWs in AFG systems.
However, as gone into detail in the thread above, you'll have to go through lots of such systems.

That's awesome!

I've found many a surprise in out of the way places, Brown Dwarfs included. There are POIs (mostly Geo) seemingly all over the place, in my travels at least. For me, I'm finding HMCs the real hidden gem; So many of them I run across yield Geo POIs after being DSS'd, even though FSS says nothing. I've reported on this previously.

I've been reading about that from other CMDRs. That's crazy unreliable from the FSS. If the FSS can't even be trusted to do its job, how are we expected to find noteworthy POIs, let alone things like Raxxla.

The only interesting thing i ever found is a ELW orbiting a Y Brown dwarf, very unexpected
