Expedition with a twist....a proposal......

I shall see you out there, just to make up the numbers.

Will have my mining carrier with me just to harvest the odd ring here and there, not got shipyard or outfitting installed so got plenty of space for spare tritium if you need it. (freshly mined of course)

Just picked up a couple of them new DSS's and an uprated 5A power plant for an asp, need to give them a good try out:)
Welcome aboard!

Two: since boxels in the core have so many systems, once you find a good one, you can keep farming it for a long while. Elsewhere in the galaxy, you might find a good D boxel but with only 300 systems or so. When you're done with those, then you have to find another, but farming a boxel with five digits of systems as opposed to three will last much longer.
...
The question is, is there an easy way to systematically search for such boxels in existing data?
Like search for GGs with low Helium content? Search for ELWs in such a boxel?
Along with that it would help to be able to search for all the systems of a boxel that are already in the database.

Like I am right now in IOCKOLS OX-S D4 and found 20 ELWs in ~550 jumps (24.9-25.1% He in the few GGs I found). Most but not all systems I visited were inside that boxel. I can check my travel log on EDSM, but I have not yet figured out an easy way for a general search on EDSM/EDDB/INARA/SPANSH to search for the known systems in a boxel, the ELWs in a boxel, the GGs and their Helium content. I guess I could try and work with the EDASTRO spreadsheets, but that might be rather cumbersome and it's not relative to a location or such...

There is no easy search for this highly specific scenario, so EDAstro's spreadsheets are the answer here, yes: you need the metallicity spreadsheet, the ELW one, and optionally the systems dump from EDSM. I'm saying "optionally" because if you don't mind that the data is from July, you could grab the processed data from this thread I made at that time. That's the galaxy on a sector level though, not a boxel level. However, you could use it to pick some sectors you like (since you can check the numbers of ELWs and systems uploaded) and check the boxels in there. For my research in this thread, I did just that, on Eol Prou and Eoch Flyuae.

That said, personally I'd restrict such a search to the galactic core, since I assume you're looking for undiscovered stuff, and any boxel outside the galactic core that has enough systems to get a good read on will already have been fully surveyed. Only in the core can you find boxels which have hundreds of systems uploaded already, but thousands not yet explored.
 
This made me laugh today:

Saud Kruger seem to have no clue that it takes weeks, ideally months to go out and find new ELW data and pictures to submit. 6 days..... really :ROFLMAO:
Surely you are not suggesting FDev does not play ED? 🧐
 
It can be an old one you have an in-system screenie of....here was mine...

Qiedea IZ-D d13-36 4 is a bit ordinary compared to Chiggy's picture - not much in the system. My first ELW "first discover".

Ow, bless. I was so excited about it I made a return visit while experimenting with my Anaconda as an explorer just to see my commander name on the tags.

Hypeua AUDST MC-Y C28-194 A 4 is at least interesting because I discovered it high above the galactic plane not too far from the centre of the galaxy.

I've found a few others, but never took pictures and would have to trawl through the logs to find out where they were.
