List of Earth-like worlds, v3

@ Speccy: While you're here, could you post a new screenshot for Swoilz VN-K c8-0 please? It's one of your early screenies which didn't show the system map, but the ELW there (5 a) is a moon of something, so I'd like to see what exactly it's a moon of.
 
Question Marx: Do you even want Y-stars and T-tauri stars included?
I guess what I mean is you jump into a single F star lets say, then you end up scanning some Y stars ect..
Because now they show up on the galaxy map.
Thanks

Yep, please do include those. Everything that shows up on the galaxy map for you.
 
Here's a couple more, diagonally downward from the bubble:

At last, I have reached a safe harbour on my tour - Gigarin Gate - landed safely, and have cashed in my Earth-like claims. I've never reported multiple systems in one post, let's see if I can make the table work. They are in order of my encountering them, which more or less equals their distance from Sol.

Some notes and observations.

The Earth-likes came in four clusters, roughly a week apart, where I found multiple ELWs in a single 24-hour period.

Cluster 1 - on the line from VY Can Maj to Eta Carina

Swoiphs: Fairly normal, conditions cool and damp, exactly 1 Earth gravity, but a thicker atmosphere. The two HMCs in the next orbit inwards are both terraformable.

Prua Dryou 1: Almost a carbon-copy of Swoiphs system, right down to the moon and the double-terraformable-HMC neighbours, though this planet is heavier, has a thinner atmosphere, chillier and damper. The barren companion star is too remote to affect the climate.

Prua Dryou 2: The surface conditions on this world are nearly identical to those on Prua Dryou 1 in every respect, but this planet's star system is much more interesting. There's three terraformable HMCs sunwards of the Earth-like, plus a binary M-class system 36,000 Ls away with some planets that were almost worth travelling out that far to scan; none of them appear to be terraformable.

Cluster 2 - on the line from the Eta Carina Nebula to the Blau Aec sector

Qeajo: The primary star in this system is barren; you need to travel 70,000 Ls to reach the secondary star with the Earth-like. This world is a steamy jungle planet (average temp 42 degrees C!) with 4 atmospheres of surface pressure - it's at the limits of "Earth-like" classification. Given how hot this place is, I'm surprised that the sunward HMC is, once again, rated as a terraformable. I didn't scan any of the other planets in this system besides those two, so there may be another terraformable hidden here.

Prieleau 1: This is the first Earth-like moon I have discovered and tagged, orbiting a large (6 Earth-masses) non-Terraformable HMC. The primary star is an A9, usually too young and hot for natural Earth-likes to be found, but there are three terraformables around it. The Earth-like moon is around the secondary star, 31,000 Ls away; no other planets in the secondary system are terraformable. The moon is small, cold and with a very thin atmosphere - quite at the opposite extremes of the Earthlike window compared to Qeajo.

Prieleau 2: Water, water everywhere, but it's only on the fourth planet that you can drink it. The second planet is hotter than a cup of coffee and the third has way too much ammonia. Despite this, they (and HMC planet 1) are all terraformable. This Earthlike is again on the small and cool side but at least the air is Earth-normal.

Cluster 3 - in Blau Aec Sector

Blau Aec 1: A tropical paradise: a myriad islands scattered across a vast, pleasantly warm ocean, 0.76 Earth gravities - who wouldn't want to retire here? And here in beautiful Blau Aec sector, it's far enough above the galactic plane and close enough to the Core that the night sky is truly awesome. For explorers, the terraformable HMC and ammoniacal waterworld that bookend the ELW are worth scanning.

Blau Aec 2: The same size as Blau Aec 1, but otherwise the opposite: cold, dry and not entirely hospitable; the land-to-sea ratio is one of the highest I have seen on an Earth-like, I would guess somewhere around 70% land. I'm betting skiing, rather than surfing, is the pastime to be had here. There are three other water-worlds in this system, all of them with average temperature below freezing.

Blau Aec 3: Another small, cold, unappealing world. The even smaller co-orbiting HMC is terraformable; I didn't bother scanning anything else in this triple-star system; the M-class star is 9000 Ls away but just has a string of dragon-spittle worldlets, the K-class is 178,000 Ls away.

Blau Aec 4: This archipelago world is in the slightly bigger yet slightly thinner-aired class of ELW. The average temperature is pretty good, too; I'd call this one the third-most-livable world of the five Blau Aec discoveries. Planet 2 is a terraformable HMC and Planet 4 is a Class II gas giant within easy scan range.

Blau Aec 5: Please note, this is a different system to the previously-reported BLAU AEC DW-T d4-2 system containing an Earth-like (which was the reason I'd flown all the way out here, and previously reported in this thread). It's right next door to it, though, and is home to another Earth-like. And it's another tropical beauty, much like Blau Aec 1 and much nicer than the one I'd come all this way to verify. The chilly waterworld and the too-warm HMC to either side of it are both terraformable.

Cluster 4 - on the line from Blau Aec sector to Gigarin Gate

Blu Aescs: Another winter wonderland, but otherwise very Earth-normal. Mundane, even, but it was the first ELW I'd seen in a week, so still very much appreciated. The Terraformable HMC next-planet-inwards was the only other thing in this system I stopped to scan.

Clookia: I love the name of this sector, and I'm glad I found an ELW in it. It's simlar to Blau Aec 2: cold, dry, not much ocean. The co-orbiting HMC plus the next one in are both terraformable; nothing else in-system was scanned. The secondary star is remote and barren.

Gru Hypue: in the home stretch now, just one more ELW before arriving at Gigarin. It's in the same sector as Gigarin and well into the Colonia transit corridor; it's surprising to me how many untagged worlds are still out here. The Earth-like itself isn't much to write home about - another chillly, thin-aired snowscape - but the system has plenty else to offer. The primary star has a bunch of HMCs and Class II giants, wihile the second star has the ELW, two waterwords (one of which is terraformable) and that triple-planet HMC group (B2 to B4) which are all terraformable. I didn't scan the entire system, but it was still easily the most valuable system I've scanned so far this trip. Well worth a stopover.

For more notes and commentary on my trip, I'll be posting in my tour thread shortly. Including a map! ;)

BERSERKER MODE ENGAGED


Nah, I know that it's first and foremost Frontier's fault, but I still get triggered about this. Please fix this, lest I delete the entire ELW list in a fit of rage.

Kidding aside, thanks for posting in the spreadsheet format! You only made one small mistake: the Clookia system's planet ID is A 6, not 6, but you did list both stars in there, so it was easy enough to spot and fix. Also, thanks for the detailed descriptions! It's always good to know what kind of Earth-likes were found, and what kind of systems they were in. Say, would you mind posting a picture of the planetary data of PRIELEAU NW-V D2-26 B 4? The planet that the ELW moon is orbiting. I'm looking to get some data on these too.

Oh, and Earth-likes with much more land than sea are rare, but quite possible. Nice find! There are some out there with barely any seas - or perhaps more accurately, just some rather big lakes.

No worries, chief.

'Tis one of them "steam giants", with the massively thick, nearly-pure-water atmosphere.

Edit to add: oh, I've even got a picture of it, too, though it's not very big. I always try to get the moon, primary or co-orbital planet of an ELW screenshot, if I can. Here 'tis, in the background, above-left of the ELW.

My entries for my alt, CMDR Caprica-Six. Haven't posted my main's yet (CMDR Thadius Wynter) because he's still out on expedition so I haven't been able to submit to Universal Cartographics yet. Hope that's OK.

Hope this works.
Apologies, I don't have the distance from Sol for first system :(

Nothing particularly special about any of the systems. The last one has WW and ELW orbiting each other and the WW has a landable moon. Nice for a bit of scenery :)

@ thadius856: Welcome to the list, and thanks for posting some coordinates too! And thanks for letting me know that these are for an alt. Since you're the second one to post discoveries for those, I've changed the contributions calculations a bit now, to take these into account automatically.

@ mrdragonraaaar: Welcome to the list as well! No worries about the missing distance, we can add it later. In fact, the game stores the coordinates of systems you visit in the journal files, and from those it's quite easy to calculate the distance. I'd recommend using a third-party utility like EDDiscovery or Captain's Log to read these. (For the latter, you'll need the 2.0 beta version.)


Also, a progress report: we currently have 5053 ELW-s completed, and 1332 to go. All the "exotic" ones (non-procedural, around rare stars, and so on) have already been added, although only 299 are around solitary stars, so there are still a thousand Earth-likes to look up the stars on the galaxy map for. So right now, the charts are still a bit skewed towards the solitary stars. The people who helped with filling out the list have done quite a lot of work, so thanks again for this! I'll try and see if I can't get you a little something as a gift for the holidays.
 
On my way back from heart and soul nebulae and found another close to the bubble:

Thanks for the welcome. I only found out about the journal a few days ago from this forum. I'll look into both of these tools (i'm currently using spreadsheet for all WW, AW, ELW, etc - very time consuming!!)
 
Forgot about this one. Not one of mine but it isn't in the list that I can see.
Again no distance from Sol. I got these ages ago before I started marking more info.

Can you elaborate on this? I'm not sure I fully understand.

Are you saying I wasn't first to report these ELWs or something else?
