Kepler 438b and 442b

I saw that they updated these planets in the 1.04 patch =D

But I can't find their respective star systems in the Galaxy map.
They are supposed to orbit the stars Kepler 438 and 442, but if you search for those in the Galaxy map you find nothing.

Does anyone know what the star systems are called in the game?

I believe 438b is in Lyra although not 100% sure

Edit: apparently the actual system is Kepler-438 in the Lyra constellation

System should be Kepler-438, distance to Sol should be 472.7 LY, haven't checked if it is in the game yet.

Systems are in as their KOI (Kepler Object of Interest catalogue) numbers, KOI 3284 and KOI 4742. They are also way too far out.

Hehe, you didn't read the middle of my post =P

I have already searched in the game for Kepler-438 and Kepler-442 but they aren't in the Galaxy map.

So the question is, what have FD named those systems in the game? =)

Edit: Oh, didn't see the last reply. Thanks, I will check it out! =)

A known issue - it's not safe for me to move stars yet though.

You can just imagine the conversation between Michael and his SO...

"Hello dear, did you have a good day?"

"Yes honey, I changed the gravitational constant of the galaxy and shifted some stars a few light-years" *Flex*

Doing cosmology, like a boss! :D

Found them!

They're about 2800 Ly from Sol, let the race begin! =)

"Kepler-438 is a red dwarf star in the constellation Lyra, about 470 light years from Earth."
wiki

And
"Two of the newly validated planets, Kepler-438b and Kepler-442b, are less than 1.5 times the diameter of Earth. Kepler-438b, 475 light-years away, is 12 percent bigger than Earth and orbits its star once every 35.2 days. Kepler-442b, 1,100 light-years away, is 33 percent bigger than Earth and orbits its star once every 112 days."

Why 2800ly?

Because there was an error.
