Might want to double-check if your codex entry is still there on the next login. Many of the anemone codex entries aren't surviving a logout.

Sure enough it disappeared when I logged in. Thanks for letting me know. I'll screen cap of and report it. They really need to get this codex fixed since there's not much point in adding to it if you can't run across something the devs didn't expect. It's a good thing I'm keeping a handwritten log.
 
Anyone know what the record is so far for the most terriformable planets that orbit a single star? Found one with 9 (including a ELW and WW) which is I think to date the most I've actually seen, but figure there's ones with a lot more and curious what the record actually is?
 
I think we are seeing increasing instances of artefacts related to how the Stellar Forge works and populates cubes of space, maybe because we’re getting towards the galactic centre. Last leg I found a “bow tie” effect of bright stars & posted a photo. Also seen what seemed to be a cube of bright stars. Yesterday I found an “arrow head” of stars.

dug out the screenshots I had of this sort of thing

I added my examples of this issue to the bug report over here: 477075-quot-Boxes-quot-of-stars

I suggest others add their examples to get it prioritised accordingly. It's ruining a lot of my screenies! :)
 
A nice system with lots of bio and geo sites. Some of it perched on a high mountain ridge overlooking a blue ringed gas giant. Just 137 LY from Sagittarius A*.

System: MYRIELK IO-Z D13-4538
Planet: 1 A
Sites: Biological 7 (flat -4.4654°, -177.9207°) and 8 (hillside)

No, it's not something tracked by most places. They're named stars in one of the larger clusters, as I recall.

Right, thanks. I suppose if we're discounting named stars that might be manually placed for all we know, my submission could be a candidate where procedurally generated stars are considered, if we were to keep track of such things in the first place.

So I don't actually have a lot of experience really looking deeply at most of the planets themselves if they didn't immediately pop out to me. (Really pretty gas giants, huge ring systems, etc etc.) But I just sort of coincidentally looked and noticed some very interesting numbers on what at first appeared to be an ordinary ice world. First of all, surface temperature is over 1300 Kelvin. And that's water ice. Which brings me to the other really interesting thing: surface pressure is listed at more than 4.8 million atmospheres. The planet is more than 28 earth masses but only 2.62G at the surface, so I guess all that mass is in one heck of an incredible atmosphere (98.4% water btw) the likes of which I can't even imagine where pressure alone forces water hot enough to melt aluminum here on Earth into a solid state.

Anyway, is this actually a relatively ordinary thing or should I report it? It mostly looks relatively ordinary (well, it has a little ring that looks ok) so isn't particularly interesting on visual merits alone other than being obviously quite a bright white looking world.

The same system had a relatively ordinary gas giant orbiting a class M at a distance of probably under 2LS (hard to get the exact distance since it's not the main system star, though in retrospect I guess I could have lined them up directly in front of me and compared. Hindsight is 20/20 and all that.) That second star is actually pretty close to the first for that matter. I actually could see it the moment I jumped into the system as a dark circle from the second star (binary.) If the game were a bit more realistic I think there would be a super amazing view of all of them being ripped apart. I'm not sure if this is a report thing either though?

I don't want to clutter too much, so I'll just stick a couple of screenshots on Imgur if anyone is curious. If I should submit I'll do it more properly.

I've already moved on from the system (I was falling way behind DW2) but I screenshotted the system view and the info on those two planets.


EDIT: Adding onto the artifacts discussion, I ran across this Space Bermuda Triangle where whole star systems apparently disappear:

(It's hard to tell it's a triangle because it twisted when I moved the camera. I was just showing a friend and didn't put in any real effort.)

Rings of Amaterasu

A shining set of parallel rings bracketing the sun, as seen from Shrogaei GT-O d7-3069-Shrogaei GT-O d7-3069 3 Geopoint #2. The nearby ring also pretty much delineates the edge of the galactic disk, with the orange/brown carpet of stars on the left and blackness on the right.

Submitted for the nature of the conjunction and associated spectacular view.

Obviously somewhat ruined by the gap in the starfield just above the near ring, but not much I can do about that. See the bug discussed above.
 
Enjoying the double sunrise over an ELW on the way to Altum Sagittarii. The system (Stuemeae HX-B D8573) has two ELW, one orbiting a binary star. To sweaten the discovery this last trip tipped the scale and got me my Elite exploration wings.

Name: Eleven Suns

Game map search ref: WHAMBIO HL-Y E9953 / ODINS HOLD

First discoverd by: Cmdr. Danzmann / PS4

Date: 24.02.2019 / 22.05h GMT +1
Universal Cartographics: 28.02.2019 / 23.49h GMT +1

Description: A star system with eleven suns.

This terraformation paradise was first discovered by Wiseacre, but I stumbled upon it by chance and it's worth sharing. I was just the first to map after Beyond.

All planets have volcanism and half of the bodies are terraformable.

System: Stuemeae DA-A E4291

Main star: Class A blue-white Supergiant
- Age: 350 Million years
- Mass: 5.2305 solar masses
- Radius: 48.2332 solar radius
- Temp.: 8,135.00 K

Also in System: 4 class T dwarfs

- Nr.2 has metallic ring
- Nr.3 has Class V gas giant
- Class V gas giant
- 2,321.4368 earth masses
- 72,304 Km radius
- 1,734 K
- rocky ring
- Nr.4 has 8 metal-rich worlds
- 4 A: 4 Biosites (Rubeum bioluminescent anemone)
7 Geosites (Iron Magma volcanism)
- 4 H has a rocky ring

The system is only a few hundred ly from Sag A* and i think if you´re like me and have never been to a supergiant before it is definitely worth a visit.

Found this rather curious system on the way to Sagittarius A* a week ago

This class A star system contains a class Y ringed brown dwarf which has 3 interesting moons: a terraformable rocky body, an earthlike world and a ringed terraformable water world.

POI Name: "Four Seas of Infinity"
Galmap search ref: Dumbooe FA-Z d2172
First discovered by: Cmdr XhaleR
Description: This gem was discovered during DW2 on my way to WP7. It's located in the Empyrean Straits sector, approximately 800LY's north of the "Black in Green" tourist installation POI. System contains 4 waterworlds (3 of them terraformable) and 9 terraformable HMCW's. It took some time to map due to some distances, but was definetely worth it giving a personal all time high payout of almost 27 million 💰 (!!). Any better?
