Herbig Ae/Be - How Common?

[Engadine]

Good evening fellow Explorers,

Just wondered how common Herbig Ae/Be's actually are?

I only ask as on my stroll back home I plotted a route and one of the stops along the way landed me face to face with one.



This is the complete system and needless to say I even scanned the Ice.



Certainly was a nice surprise, also noticed it spun pretty quickly.

According to Elite Wiki: -

Legendary (More common in the galactic center)

But are they, Legendary, that is?

Very rare. I have on;y seen one or two in all the time I've played since Beta.

 

[Katejina]

Nearly 7k systems explored and I've only come across 2. Both were found in systems with stars listed as an O type I believe.

 

[TruffleSnout]

4100-ish systems myself, and only seen 1. So I'll have to vote "quite rare".

Very common - in some places.

Find a younger region of the galaxy, or rather, a region where star formation is plentiful, turn on protostar filter, start hovering over protostars. Perhaps one in ten to one in twenty is a Herbig, others TTS.

As CMDR Kalpa says filter out all but the protostars and search through those...looking at my log i have found 9 in the last week of exploration

Is that 9 Ae/Be or T's?

The only surprise with this find was that it was only ~8k from SOL.

Even if they are more common than first thought, it's a new one for me.

They're very common in the core.
But everywhere else pretty rare.
