Newcomer / Intro Life on Non-scoopables...?

Yup, I found some here:
On the 5th planet. All the others (except 5A and 4) have Bio-Signals, except 3 (I think) which has Geological instead.
I only had time to snag one (it's already way past my bedtime!), so the others there are still up for grabs.
And here's the cash-in:
Couldn't say which is most likely, but T Type Brown Dwarf Stars confirmed possible to host planets that have life!
I'm not going back for those others, I have other places to be going.
Happy Hunting!

I guess it depends what exactly you mean by "lifesigns", although the answers for both definitions of "lifesigns" are very similar in this context.The Survey I did a couple of years ago didn;t look at non-scoopables (except for L-type brown dwarfs), so I don't have first-hand reliable statistics.
If you mean "surface lifeforms that you can scan", then sure. I haven't really been keeping up with how the game calculates odds for such things, but if there's a "thin atmospheric" planet (i.e. Odyssey-landable but not Horizons-landable) then there's a chance of lifeforms being found on that planet.
And if you mean "valuable planets like Earth-likes, Ammonia Worlds and such where the system map reports them to be rich in life", then the answer is also "sure", though generally much less than for main sequence (scoopable) star types.
Brown dwarfs generally have cold planets, so the odds of life-bearing planets are quite low.
Black Holes are surprisingly hospitable places for life, given the complete lack of, you know, sunlight. Chances of finding ELWs etc in black hole systems are much higher than in brown dwarf systems, though, as black holes are much more likely to have life-friendly secondary stars.
Neutron stars typically have huge Goldilocks zones and very few planets, making life-bearing planets less probable than for main sequence stars. Still more probable than brown dwarfs and black holes though.
Edit to add: White dwarfs are even colder and worse for life than brown dwarfs.
Protostars (T Tauris and AeBe Herbigs) are generally young systems, meaning they're often full of moonless gas giants with few solid objects. T Tauris are also often down towards the cold, brown-dwarf-end of the heat spectrum.
Finally, there's the "weird giants" - things like Wolf-Rayets and the C and S class giants. These are all quite scarce, and just stumbling upon one while flying about at random is almost impossible. There aren't really enough of them to do a proper statistical comparison, but they can still host "lifesigns" of both definitions.
In summary: yes, "lifesigns" are found around non-scoopables, though they tend to be rarer than lifesigns around scoopables and particularly around giants and A F and G type stars. But your best non-scoopables to hunt through seem to be neutron stars and AeBe Herbigs.
