I'll have a double-double (planet) please...

I haven't seen this arrangement before! The most I've seen is as triple planet system, but I've never seen a double-double planet! (they're not particularly close to eachother unfortunately - one pair has a 47 day orbital period and the other hasa 40 day orbital period. Looks like the orbital period of each binary around the barycentre must be about 100-200 days?). Is this worth submitting to the Galactic Mapping Project? (oh yeah - there's also a ringed waterworld in the system too!).

Ha ha! I saw one almost exactly like that just the other day (except I think mine were iceballs). Let's see if I can find it - at the time I thought it was unusual, but wasn't quite unusual enough to take a screenshot.
 
Found it - it was just a couple of days ago. And I hadn't quite remembered aright; one world is a HMC, the other three are Rocky-Ice. Mine's a bit more chaotic than the OP's example. So no, probably not POI-worthy - unless they're all terrafomable, or there's some high-value worlds (ELW, WW, AW) somewhere in the quad.
