Could someone list me the names of the systems that make up Cetus constellation as they are called in Elite: Dangerous? Right now I have a hard time even finding the constellation.

Bump?

I'm pretty sure that 'Bump' isn't one of them.
Tau Ceti and Mira are quite easy 
UV and YV Ceti are right next to Tau. Alpha Ceti is Menkar. Beta is known as Diphda or Deneb Kaitos (the Whale's Tail). There is a Diphda and a Deneb Kaitos Shemali so take your pick I guess. Gamma is Kaffaljidhma. Delta is HD 16582.
That's the main ones I think.

I'm pretty sure ''I'm pretty sure that 'Bump' isn't one of them.'' isn't one of them. I'll check but I doubt it.
You may need to use the HD and HIP catalogue references Mira when searched comes up as about 5th or 6th in the search after longer named systems but using the HD reference HD 14386 finds it straight away.

The names in notes are also alternates beta Cet is Diphda

You're not going all Jasmina Halsey on us are you?
I might.
We'll see.. in the mean time I have figured out something more.. what is the star(s) that makes up the back of the Cetus?
Nvm that would be Mira right?

Just found this : http://www.seasky.org/constellations/constellations-december.html
Looks like it's Mira, yeah.

Hm.. it could be 5 aswell right? 2 is the nose so Mira would be its neck? What is 5 and 6?
You have seen nothing yet..
I don't think there is anything at Mira.. Hmm.. back to the drawing board.
First 40 stars in brightness enough for you?
