How to know what is rare!

[Northpin]

Not to rain on your parade but the G class supergiant record is indicative that you were the first person to find 2 G class supergiants in the same system. However, it might be exceedingly hard to find 3, so a few people may have found 2 but it's too hard to find 3. Still a really cool find though, and definitely rare (not something you would come across without searching for it)

Never implied i was the only one to find a pair of G super giants.

Just the first to report a such pair to EDSM.
And i would assume they're rare enough if my report from 2020 was the first EDSM report of such pair (most other super giant twins or triplets were reported in 2017-2019)

Anyway, no rain taken

If you want to find a rarity then try finding an ELW orbiting a main White Dwarf. In 2020-21 spent over a year looking - over 32,000 WD systems looked at. Plus did try before in 2017 and checked around 15,000 WD systems.
Amount found by me...... zero!
Although they are rare as only 3 have been found on EDSM.

Sometimes I'm tempted to try for a third time but White Dwarfs can be dangerous and the systems are, generally, very boring.

As far as i'm concerned, anything under 200 (as listed on edsm) is exceedingly rare.
Anything under 2000 is very rare

Under 10? its like OMG, there be Unicorns!

You're off on both counts: there are 40 known GGGs (see the list of them here) and 63 known MRTs. So the latter category is actually found at a better rate, and they outnumber the green gas giants now. But yeah, as things stand now, MRTs are scientific curiosities that unfortunately don't differ in sights.

I should pay more attention to the stats threads.

Best I can do is a neutron star, but it is ringed so that gives me extra internet points I guess!

There's also Helium Giants (not to be confused with Helium-rich Gas Giants, like I did).

Yep, never found on of those yet!
