KGBFOAM or FOG KBAM? How do you remember your scoopables?

[Deleted member 110222]

I suppose it's similar to Big Elephants Can't Alway Use Small Exits.

How do you remember your scoopables?

I use FOG KBAM.

Oh be a fine girl (guy) kiss me. Right order as well.

That's a good one! I'd use it if FOG KBAM wasn't already burned to my memory.

Read that in the forums quite some time ago, I found this to be the simplest to remember.

Another good one.

And your avatar...

Elite makes it easy - filter using the star class and stop at L.

 

[Kosmetas]

I just fly up to the star.. if it fuels I'm good if not I jump to the next.

Yeah, I know that.

I just like having a fun way to remember stuff.

With my ship @ 3rd unscoopable in a row stop and open the gal map to check the 4th.
If I get distracted after 4th unscoopable in a row... RatCall.

Always used FOG KBAM

Yep, that one for me too.

 

[Sixxor]

Yep, I've always used FOG KBAM, too.

I've never had to remember. It became automatic so fast...

 

[Fen Harel]

Call me old-fashioned, but I use the ancient Oh Be A Fine Girl mnemonics for listing the main sequence stars, OBAFGKM

And then there is this too. After a fairly short while you figure out that the T-Tauris and Brown Dwarfs are unscoopable.

 

[EUS]

Neither, I use
Oh Be A Fine Girl, Kiss Me.

 

[Roqinn]

None. If it isn't anything smaller than an M class star or isn't a special star, e.g. T Tauri or some such, it is scoopable.

 

[Jackie Silver]

OBAFGKM.

Though what I really think, without thinking about it as such, is "anything that isn't a stellar remnant, protostar or evolved star, and it doesn't make sense because you should certainly be able to scoop from some of them given what you can scoop from already."

 

[Satsuma]

Oh Be A Fine Girl, Kiss Me. Too many years of being an amateur astronomer.

Though with the advent of brown dwarfs, I only really use that for Elite Dangerous, now. For astronomy, I need "Oh Boy A Feral Giraffe Killed My Little Transparent Yeti"...

 

[Airee]

I'm using OBAFGKM, cause main sequence, you know.

Oh Be A Fine Girl Kiss Me

I first heard that mnemonic decades ago when learning about Hertzsprung-Russell diagrams. Finally, it is of some use.
