Focused exploration and Galaxy Map names

[photomankc]

Is there anything useful in the naming of the systems for honing in on to explore?

My focus is largely looking for ringed worlds with metallic rings. My general search method is to look for higher mass stars like B,A,G, and F on the hope that they will also have more mass in the system itself and my experiance has been so far that the smaller stars usually produce mostly snowballs but that's been about the sum total of my method. I've not been able to work out personally if there is any significance to the numbers in the name in what I'm finding in the systems but I'm not organized enough in my gaming to keep that level of notes.

I have seen some posts here and there that hint at there being more significance to some of the numbers in each system name, but largely not really covering what I'm hunting for. Is there a breakdown of that anywhere? Any general tips for my personal fetish... finding cool places to do metals mining while I explore? I've located a few personal favorites, but metallics have been really sparse to find overall.

Much. Mostly in the last letter. Each sector is a cube 1280ly on a side. That's the one or two word prefix. That is subdivided into a number of little cubes that we generally call boxels. Those have a 3 character letter code (XX-X). The next letter is the mass code for the system from heaviest (H) to lightest (A). H systems tend to have black holes, giant stars, cool stuff like that, A is mostly brown dwarfs and icy planets.
