Is Electricae Pluma Really Rare?

On my way back to the bubble I decided to make a detour to the Eta Carina Nebula in the Outer Orion Spur to find Electricae Radialem. Once I was informed I had to be near a nebula to find it this was easy to find.

After that I decided to go ahead and look for Electricae Pluma since I was in no hurry to get back to the bubble.

After jumping into 160+ A Systems, 150+ B Systems and 40+ Neutron Systems with 1 Black Hole along the way I have not found any. In the over 300+ systems I have specifically been in to find Electricae Pluma where Electricae Pluma is supposed to spawn I have been in only three systems that had icy bodies that meet the requirements and unfortunately those only spawned Bacterium and Fonticulua. Those three systems had a grand total of three icy bodies.

I looked in the Outer Orion Spur and Hawkins Gap. Most of the 300+ systems were in Hawkins Gap.

Looking at the instances of Electrricae Pluma being reported this seems pretty rare to me. I am looking at the spreadsheet by Canonn Research.

It seems to me having only three bodies in 300+ systems that have the right conditions for Electricae Pluma to spawn makes this pretty rare if not close to impossible to set out to find considering the vast quantity of A, B and Neutron Systems.

It is starting to seem to me that you just have to be one of the fortunate few that happen to jump into a system where it spawns. Looking a Canonn's spreadsheet; traffic between Colonia and the bubble can explain the higher amount reported in the Inner Orion Spur and the Inner Scutum-Centaurus Arm while traffic around the galactic center can explain the higher amount reported in Odin's Hold and Empyrean Straits.


UPDATED June 17, 2023: FYI for anyone looking for these who happens to read this tread. On my way back to the bubble in the Outer Orion Spur, 8K LY's from Sol, after jumping into another 34+ A systems and 5+ B systems I found one on a icy body orbiting the A star. The icy body was unmapped and I got "First Footfall" and this was what I was looking for. Wanted to find one no one else had. I had my route set for just A, B, WD, Neutron and BH systems.

Some statistics:
  • all Plumae I found were in systems with NS/WD/BH as the main body
  • I found 18 pluma-hosting bodies in 16 systems
  • I visited A LOT of NS/WD/BH systems (about 4k since Odyssey launched) since those are my favourite star types
So, 16 occurrences in 4k systems... You visited approx. 40 NS/WD/BH systems. Assuming my statistics are representative, you're entitled to find 0.16 pluma-hosting systems so far. :LOL:

I'd say you just need to keep searching.

Thanks for the response.

Where any you found on bodies or moon's of bodies that were orbiting a star that was not the primary or were all on bodies or moon's of bodies orbiting the NS/WD/BH primary?
 
Sometimes you stumble across something like this, I found this 5 days ago.

I just found one of these half an hour ago!
