First off: if you already have write access, you don't necessarily need to post all your stuff here, feel free to just insert your finds to the sheet. I plan on coming up with some solution so that anyone can submit their finds more directly, which will probably be a publicly writable sheet. You can also post your stuff here, of course. I originally asked for everything to be posted here because I wanted to have a backup of the data in case anything happened, but the list has grown so large now that recreating it from the forum posts would be something of a nightmare. So I just do backups elsewhere.
@ osser: Well, you've seen several examples above on how to put them into a spreadsheet form, but if you make your own spreadsheet file, that's perfectly fine for me. You can also post the relevant info in whatever format you wish too, but depending on it, it might take considerably longer for me to add them to the list. Like I mentioned above, I plan on making a publicly writable list too, so that might be an option in the future: if you plan on getting back in six months, it'll probably be best to wait till then though. In the meantime, just note down the distances to Sol and the exact star types in the system.
@ SpocksOddSocks: yep, that's an excellent example of the power of greenhouse gases. Water vapour is interesting because it's not only a greenhouse gas, but it also amplifies the effects of carbon dioxide too. I wonder whether FD model this, and whether the planet also has CO[SUB]2[/SUB] in its atmosphere. (I'm fairly certain that the game generates more than three atmospheric components, and just lists the three highest percentages. However, the journal files shed no light on this, as they don't store atmospheric composition - yet?)
Also, shouldn't the name of the place also be Hawking's Gap? But yeah, that search area wasn't really in it. I suppose FD just wanted to go with a name from the GMP, and that was the closest.
