Re your colonisation system, seeing as it would only start with 1 station, do we know where it would likely be placed? By the ELW or next to 1 of the A planets?
.
Just found some materials at Synuefai UP-M D8-24 ranging from somewhat rare to fairly rare, Zr, Zn, Hg (Mercury), Nb, & Ru (chemical symbols JFYI. (not fully mapped it yet, some 1st discoveries for me)
I found out yesterday that there will only be one station, probably around the ELW. That makes it too far away for some people, but it only takes about 9 minutes, so that's about 3 times longer than a station 2000Ls away (typical distance of metallic rings from primary).
The station is principally a rest stop for explorers who've been in hyperspace for hours. As a mining station it's not totally terrible, there's a metal-rich ring around a gas giant near the ELW: good enough for Osmium.
Over all, the competition showed it's hard to find ELWs(uncommon) w/ metallic rings(uncommon) in a small system. I think for explorers though, having a Polonium+3 world (Polonium+ 3 other jumponium elements(quite rare)) is a big plus!
I don't think my system will win top spot, everyone is in love with a ringed earthlike, but if I get in the top 4 I get a free ship paint-job... and fame!
I'm pretty happy to have made the final 10, actually. It took 2 weeks of exploring to find my submissions, glad to see one of them was above average.

Oh, VicTic, I think something is not working with the Sphere Calculator. I search Aucoks FZ-D d13-51, and none of the systems I have submitted show up, but they show up when searching for Pristines.

Nice find!

Good point re station travel time & visiting explorers.
What were the other 3 elements?

A2(HMC 1.59g): Cr, Mn, Vanadium; Niobium, Cadmium; Te
A3(HMC 1.43g): Cr, Zn, Arsenic; Niobium, Cadmium; Polonium
Between the two planets they have 5 of the 7 jumponium elements, and lots of Niobium and Cadmium. If I can find Yttrium and Germanium in the system I'll have everything. None of the moons are scanned yet.
The Sphere calculator takes data not directly from EDSM but from local database, since EDSM doesn't distinguish between inhabited and non-inhabited systems. The database takes data from eddb.io/api (which, in turn, takes it from edsm) once a day, at 04:00 EST. Come back tomorrow and it'll be there
Since you're back, I'd like to remind you that you are eligible for 100,000 CR payout for each system submitted to the contest, in a commodity of your choice*.
*Your choice is basically between Palladium and Imperial Slaves
PM me if you want to arrange it now.
How common are metallic rings outside of the bubble? (More specifically, inside the bubble… nebula)
)Another dumb question: What colour are they? I've been ignoring ones that look like ice, but maybe I shouldn't…
The look very similar to icy ones, but icy rings have blue streaks. More difficult is metal-rich and metallic seem to look identical. I think you have to scan to tell them apart (with detailed surface scanner). Metallic are always the inner ring, as far as we know, so that can help figuring it out a little.
Thank you for your submission!
Three systems accepted and added to the list.

There are three colours of rings. The darkest ones are rocky, the lightest are icy. And the ones in the middle are either metal rich or metallic, they are the same colour in system map.
Sometimes it's difficult to tell icy from metallic/metal rich, especially when there's only one ring and you have no ring to compare it to.
