Just back from Telescopium with a few more HIPs registered, including a complete 1st Discovered HR system only 920 LY from Sol.
Glorious HIPs - 3306

Been running into a few of those, but more likely the ones I have seen not fully tagged are systems with all the GG's tagged but nothing else, oh well at least it gets my name on the system. I have also encounterd CMDR Star Falcoln a lot, and another one starting with V, Vogolis of something similar, they were very active in my region but before the FSS came out, I wonder if they are still around.
Yeah, I've hoovered up a fair few GG moons, and some planets around distant secondaries.
Star Falcon, Hamstelbaster, Vogolos and Darrash Vogorthon (or something like that) show up quite frequently, as does that annoying Jackie Silver person. I don't think any of them are active aside from the last one.
There's also a Cmdr Metagon who is evidently mapping systems alphabetically by constellation. I came across them in Apus and Ara. Not sure if they're still going, but they haven't got as far as Horologium yet. I'm hitting Corona Australis next, so I'm interested to see if they've made it there yet.
Yeah I've bumped into him a bit, there are also quite a few that appear on a couple of systems but then you don't see again.
But I have found something I find quite rare, an NSP in the rings of a water world, they are usually GG's.
Her. grins I was quite late to the party with EDSM and EDDiscovery, I wish I had started sooner because I lost all my early logs and now have only vague nostalgic memories of where I was way back when.
I have seen a lot of Vogolos and Star Falcon out this way - I heard that Star Falcon was based somewhere in Eastern Europe and hasn't played for a long while, but that's third hand at best. They certainly seem to have made a bee-line for a lot of nebulae as well as catalogue stars, I've run into their spoor everywhere.

Oh her, fair enough. I also lost some early logs, however that was because there was some sort of memory issue with early EDDiscovery and it caused issue with my old laptop so I had to run without it. yes Vogolos is very popular out here.
So let me ask this question...
I ran across a few systems where only a planet was discovered. Usually it was a HMCW that looked like an ELW. I remember in the pre-FSS days that a lot of times I would fly out to scan what I thought was an ELW only to have it be a HMCW. But as I remember it, you had to honk to check the system map....and I feel like honking put your name on the primary star? Right? So how is it that a star would be undiscovered but a planetary body isn't? Or am I misremembering and honking didn't get you the star?
I have one trip to Sag A missing from my logs - but that was prior to them containing positional information so I'm not hugely bothered, plus it was before I wiped my Cmdr after 2.1 dropped so in a way it's not a problem. When I revisited Sag A I dropped in at my 1kLY waypoints - was nice to see my own name on a system
Honking didn't get you the star. You had to scan it.
Ah... well that was easy.
Prior to the FSS (spit) you had to actively scan the primary star to get your name on it. You could jump/honk and not leave a mark on a system - I've found a few like that in EDSM, recorded but not tagged.
Ninja'd
You take your heresy and skedaddle.

I just bump into things every now and then, will that do?
Star Falcon definitely was one of the earlier explorers to hit a lot of RL star clusters, nebulae, catalog stars, etc. He/she has been back sometime since Chapter 4 at least, since one of my HIPs had mapped by tags from Star Falcon. I don't know if they've remained active since then, or just came back briefly, or what. I just thought it was interesting to see mapping tags, instead of just discovery tags.
That's interesting. All of my encounters with Star Falcon and other earlier players have been just tags, but that's handy because it leaves the ELW and WW available for mapping so at least I can get my name on the system. Of course there are a few people who tag and map everything but that's not such a huge number really.
Well that was interesting, just dropped into a HIP, just the main star tagged but nothing else tagged or mapped, 45 bodies in all and just 862ly from Sol. What's remarkable is this little pair of binary moons, between the two of them they have 121 surface sites, with one having the most surface sites I have ever seen on one body, 69.
Of course you did visit them all, didn`t you?
Of course you did visit them all, didn`t you?
yeaaaa...no. I visited two bodies to see what was around, one had giant pumpkins the other brain trees, that's two different types of life in one system so I think my job there is done!
