I added a galmap shortcut that turns on the pin sets for the major carrier projects (DSSA, STAR, Pioneer, and IGAU):

ED Astrometrics: Maps and Visualizations
- Thread starter Orvidius
- Start date
FYI, added an API info page that consolidates some info about the GEC POI retrieval APIs, and also the new star-system retrieval API that was recently added:

Were you thinking name, or type, or both? I've been trying to keep the files at least somewhat lean since they're pretty huge.
EDIT: For the moment, I'm adding the main star type as a column at the end for all of the body dumps, and for the system dump too.

I was thinking about the type. Would be useful to see what to target to increase the odds to find something.Were you thinking name, or type, or both? I've been trying to keep the files at least somewhat lean since they're pretty huge.
OK cool, I was just adding that. The next run should have the main star type on all the body dumps, and the system dump as well.
Fantastic. Thanks very much.
BTW, I've added an "Inhabited Systems" layer in the interactive map.

I've added a spreadsheet for systems that are possible colonization candidates. That is, systems with no government or economy, that are within 16 lightyears of a station with colonization services. Currently the list is about 116k systems.

Sure puts in perspective all those posts complaining of not being able to find an open system to claim!
IF this was true then explain this...
Bleia Eohn YF-L d9-27 ingame shows 2,252.29LY without any colonization
9.38157E+11 | Bleia Eohn YF-L d9-27 | F (White) Star | 133.135 | 3 | 2 | 17 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 18 | 12.0625 | -35.375 | -127.781 |

Explain what? Currently colonisation is only possible from bubble systems, not sure what exactly you are making a point of.
No, the issue is that there's some weird entries in the file - there's a few cases like that Bleia Eohn one where a star halfway across the galaxy shows up with the coordinates and other data of some star in the bubble.
That's been the case for, well more years than I have been playing the game, and that's a long time, didn't realise that's what you were commenting on. There are weird entries, I have come across quite a few myself, they haven't been fixed and probably won't be because while we players find a few odd things, with 400b stars and most of the galaxy unexplored there are probably tens of thousands or even millions of examples that players have not yet come across and that would take a long time and a lot of dev time and effort to go through. They will probably never be fixed, the others I have come across haven't been.
To be clear, I wasn't the one complaining about it, for the purposes of this data dump it's a non-issue. Other tools like EDSM do have the correct coordinates for the star CRYPTON1X mentioned, so there might be something in the data pipeline for Orvidius to take a look at. But there's a ton of ways that can happen; I'd tend to initially suspect bad journal data from some player's client.
A lot of data from early reports was done manually, that is by manually entering the data into forms before the API was available for automatic updating, so that's probably where a lot of erroneous data originates, people make mistakes, but there are areas where the data is impossible to correct due to actual data in the galmap, systems with identical names but different 64 bit ID's for instance cause many issues. I think in an undertaking the size of the galaxy simulation there are going to be odd problems, I mean it is the first time it's ever been done, and no-one has tried to duplicate it since.
Yeah I traveled around a lot when I first started playing correcting some old data, I still do it for the suspicious data spreadsheet in Astrometrics, although a some of it can't really be fixed due to the problem of identical star system names causing problems.
