Greetings fellow explorers. Do you like EDSM.net? Do you use the Market Connector, EDDiscovery or another trick to upload data? Do you care about that data being accurate? Are you 'the right kind of crazy' (as a wonderful lady once called me)? If so, have I got a project for you!
There's a lot of data in EDSM, and through the days of manual input and bugs in imports some bad data snuck in. Thanks to Orvidius of EDAstro, I've compiled a list of systems that could use a rescan to clear up two not-too-common data bugs: Planets that are zero light-seconds from arrival, and planets with zero-gravity. It's quite a hefty list at 600+ systems to visit, but I've organized it by galactic region and then system name, so it's not too hard for a determined explorer to clean up the few problem systems in a given sector.
I'd like to count on the wonderful, patient (and a little crazy) community of explorers to help me rescan these systems and clean up the bad data in EDSM! How do we get through such a big list? One system at a time!
If you're interested, just bookmark the sheet link below, i've arranged it so anyone can checkmark a system they rescan and double-check on EDSM.net
Googlesheet of systems with 0Ls or 0G planets
When you visit one such system, just FSS all the planets with EDMC or the like active, and doublecheck on EDSM.net, the before-and-after should look like this:
I tip my hat to all brave data cleaning explorers that join me in this endeavor!
edit: It took us one month! early in May we cleared the list! Victory! (Well, mostly)
