How do you find these blighters?
I have been checking binary stars near nebulae one after the other without any luck.

I had a bunch pop in the bubble on day one, but since leaving and actually getting out somewhere, I've not seen a single one.
Don't tell me they're hand placed :/
Or not random, but a natural result of the physics...

That would mean there is a way to find them. But going on other explorers' accounts, they're either very very rare, or indeed hand placed.

True, but for the longest time, other explorers accounts limited planets to single volcanic types, and had all organics relegated to nebulas, specific environmental conditions, civilization sites. That conventional wisdom caused the echo chamber to continue growing to where nobody spent any time actually looking for things outside of those sites, thus creating the echo chamber feedback loop. Now with the expanded tools, a lot of that prior conventional wisdom has been turned on its head.
I think these are just rare, not hand placed. Found one in - literally - the 1st system i jumped in after the update. Was like, wow are these things everywhere now??
It was a completely random system with a K or M as a main star, 5500ly from Bubble. No clouds for me since then.
No nebulae near either? Heard conflicting reports on this as well.
I think there wasnt any nebulae nearby. Will confirm tomorrow when login and check the system name.
We must note that with this update it seems a lot of things got re-rolled so to speak. A lot of old sites are gone and new things are in their place or they've been moved or tweaked. So perhaps with this new system came that change and that is why we are finding things in more numbers and more locations than before. Some planets before the update had been searched completely with nothing to show for it but in this new system now has volcanism. We also now see more variation than we ever did before. Yes confirmation bias played a big part but things have changed with expanded tools and new things to find. It's great. While I do feel that a lot of things were place in the bubble region and understandable so every body gets a chance I just wish certain things, like these weren't so rare. It'd also be nice to have some of these more exotic finds restricted to deep parts of the galaxy.
Hopefully some, wonderful things can be added for the DW2 trip otherwise all these discoveries will be....discovered by then. Haha. The reflects the rarity thing again, I've been from elephants trunk to bubble, to jelly fish to monkey and now to rosette and have yet to encounter any clouds, have come across one patch of anemones and a load, almost too many, bark mounds but it seems like I'm other just in an unlucky streak or things are spread to thin. I don't want it too easy but if in all that time I've yet to come across more than one outstanding sight, well.
On the whole though, I'm finally enjoying my time in a Elite and I'm loving the new things. Yes even the anomalies and biology that some see borderline fantasy.

I am not so sure...
For example, the one I visited:
Viridis gyre tree
In systems with star types: Y
Found in Lyed YJ-I d9-0
Where is the "Y" star there?
Maybe the seed for undiscovered ones change on the tick. :x
Hm. Maybe it's bugged, and it's found in systems with dwarf stars?
I found a few out in the Hipparcos Basin not near any nebula's (around Kyloopoo SY-R d4-4 area). They were just in random systems with no real pattern. Haven't seen any for awhile though, then again haven't seen any Notable Stellar Phenomena for about a week now actually. But did find about 7 or 8 I think and in all types of main star types...
I haven't found any clouds yet either. However, I think the high reporting of things around nebulae might partly be due to the higher than average number of explorers congregate toward them rather than then just being more common there. If you look at codex entries for the regions they are so far reported in, they aren't all near a nebula.
Well, there are definitely bugs with the codex. I found what the galaxy and system map said was a class A supergiant today, and instead of registering it as such, it registered in my codex as a confirmation on class B supergiant instead (the entry for B supergiants was already reported in my region, but A supergiants still aren't). I'll be submitting a bug report on this when It back in game.
Yeah, the star type listed in the journal that EDD, Captains Log, etc displays is different, as well as the spectral class for the supergiants as compared to the regular and giants. This has been like this for quite a long time. I detailed it here...
