Congrats man
sometimes it is luck of the draw, as I've been lucky enough to find two systems with two ELW binaries in them within 200ly of each other :/Still looking for those binary/trinary earth-likes with metallic rings though
not found a single one of those yet lolCongrats man

Thank you CMDR Dreamstate i hope you manage to find what you are looking for!
I've found a few pretty close to the bubble actually, but to be honest with the number of systems we have to fly through, it's really pot luck.
A change in jump distance of a tiny portion of a ly and even if you tried to take the same straight route as another commander it's very likely you'll see mostly different systems.
the magic of elite. It can be entirely common, or it can be super rare... depending on how RNGsus is feeling today

Congrats to OP.
Statistically, if there is a 1 in 100 chance of coming across an ELW (might be less than that in the game, but just for example), then I should imagine a double like that should be 1/100 x 1/100 = 1/10000.
Your experience, and that of Shadragon suggest it's that order of magnitude, so yes, pretty rare.

That's exactly what happened ! I had a route planned and i realized that since most of the stars in route were non scoop-able i took a little detour and found the 2 ElW System
Wow, really nice find commander! I never saw double earth like. [up]
That's for finding 2 ELW's in a system, which could be the 3rd and the 5th planet in the system, or even orbiting a second star tenthousands of lightseconds away. To find two of them as a twin is even rarer.
Best I found was an ELW with a Water World twin, but that was on my first ever long distance (well...2500 ly) exploration trip last week, so I consider myself very lucky.

Not really since the key factor is that both planets need to be within the Goldilock's Zone. Twin ELWs that aren't binary pairs requires either a large Glodilock's Zone (only a few star types make that possible) or ELWs around different stars. But if there is a binary pair within the zone then there is a reasonable chance that both will be ELWs.
FWIW, I've found 14 systems with binary pair ELWs and 9 with double ELWs that aren't a binary pair.
Why is this considered such a wonderful achievement or experience? seems super anticlimactic
Only if you're a proper debbie downer. Was a nice event for the OP
Huh, found one on my first trip out. Didn't know I was lucky.
If you want to intimately interact with beings who are living there, ME: Andromeda is quite awesome.
As far as exploration in Elite, goes, this is pretty exciting stuff!
(But it is one of those "If you don't understand, it's not worth explaining it to you)
----------
OP, I think that the probability of ELW is about 1:50 to 1:100
Probability of two ELWs in one system is maybe 1:1000 (judging by my discoveries)
Probability of two ELWs orbiting each other is probably quite astronomical.
