First off, something that everyone might find interesting: I played around with CMDR EfilOne's
updated proc. gen. system sector map, which is based on Jackie Silver's work, and had some maps drawn up based on the ELW list, which you can check
here. I won't be including these on the main sheet, because it involves far too many counts for that (and I originally did it with queries, which were even more taxing), but it's curious to see how the ELW-s are distributed. MattG's map was more precise, of course, this just updates automatically - when I paste in new data. I'll probably do so once in a month.
It also includes mass code counts, for those who are interested. The CDE (Chiggy Distortion Effect) is quite visible here, as code D systems are somewhat over-represented. For example, before he and Col. Frost went to survey the Zunou sector, ELW-s orbiting class G stars were evenly distributed between code C and code D.
On to individual replies:
@ Maleks: please do make a note that you gave approximate distances the next time! It's fine, but it's good for me to know right away that the distance is not precise, and I'll need to look it up later.
@ Col Frost: yep, those are very rare, only nine found so far.
To PaleGringo and SpocksOddSocks: thanks for the close ELW-s! Always good to see those. To Spocks, welcome back, and hope the encounter was good for you! Of course, the Thargoids don't ask. Feel free to add them to the "Data - To verify" tab the next time.
