Now, for the usual tourist notes.
ZUNI PD-K d8-3843 – an utterly unpleasant high-G jungle planet, with the dubious distinction of being the ELW with the highest mass and gravity that I have ever personally discovered. With thin air and such high gravity, I doubt any of the native lifeforms are capable of flight, despite the richness of the jungle habitat. Group 3, as almost all such high-G worlds are.

ZUNI SS-U d2-7269 – slightly smaller, and 50 degrees colder, this world is not much of an improvement on Zuni PD-K. The three suns in the sky and the 3-month-long day length, due to tidal locking with a larger co-orbital HMC, would probably not help with the unpleasantness. Group 3 as well.

DUMBOOE RM-W d1-1679 – A chilly yet generally much more pleasant world than either of the Zuni worlds, but nevertheless a Group 3 large, thin-aired world. This time, it’s the high axial tilt that renders it less-than-optimal; the combination of high axial tilt and rapid rotation must make for some very unearthly biological rhythms. I’ve just noticed I never bothered mapping the ELW here, so if anyone wants a quick tag and cash, they’re welcome to it. I won’t be coming back here.

DUMBOOE JA-A d4841 – here we have a lovely jewel of a system, binary Earth-likes and a whole bunch of terraformables. Both are hot worlds, though with quite different environments. Planet 10 is the more pleasant of the pair, being a small-end-of-Group-3 tropical world; Planet 11 smaller, with Earth-matching gravity; I would classify it as a Group 2 (thick-aired) desert planet. Both worlds have suffered from the proximity of the sisters to each other, with day-lengths measured in months. As I mentioned in my survey summary, the two worlds are mere blue specks when viewed from each other, so the scenery is rather mundane.

OGAIRY JR-C c26-2768 – a very nice little Group 1 world; with a pleasant atmosphere, temperate climate and landable moon, this world is very homely. The 45 degree axial tilt makes for extreme, but not intolerable, seasonality.

Lychoitl Survey worlds:

TU-V d3-424
– Super-hot, dense, high-gravity jungle planet. Group 3. The view of the rings might make living here worthwhile.

TU-M d8-1824 – Temperate Group 3, very similar to Ogairy but more humid and with minimal axial tilt. Surprised to find such a pleasant planet around such a white, fierce A5 star.

EC-S d5-1943 – Larger, chillier and it’s another Group 3 world with a near-90-degree axial tilt. Little to commend it.

HC-K d9-4240 – A cold, thick-aired Group 2 world with a month-long day. It’s in a moderately interesting triple-planet configuration with two terraformables, but otherwise mostly harmless.

FC-T d4-1014 – This ringed world is a cold, damp Group 3 world.

EM-U d3-766 – A very similar world to the previous one, only with a hotter more tropical climate, and without the rings.

KC-B c27-17 – another cool damp Group 3.

II-V c18-500 – a small, dry temperate world, not too unpleasant but with no criteria that perfectly match Earth. Group 1.

SL-X c17-166 – Perfect Earth-match for gravity, but little else that’s comfortable on this cold, thick-aired (Group 2) world.

ZT-Z c16-287 – This dun little world, last in the Lychoitl Survey, currently bears the questionable honour of having the thinnest atmosphere of any ELW I have personally encountered, at just 0.37 atmospheres t’s just slightly higher pressure than the air on top of Mount Everest on Earth. Good thing the air is oxygen-enriched.

Back to the Bubble

EESHORKS CF-L c22-4
– a typical Alpine Group 2 world, with a rapid 12-hour day length.

PYRAMIO AR-T d4-17 – this “Tatooine-like” desert planet orbits two of the five suns in this large, complex system. Group 2, so it’s Earth-normal gravity but a thick atmosphere. I’ve labelled it “desert” due to the high temperature and low water vapour content, but the portrayal of the planet in-game does not reflect this.

THAILEIA PL-P c8-13 – a generally pleasant little Group 1 world, with nice Earth-matching atmosphere and temperatures slightly cooler than Earth-normal.

BLU THUA DC-D d12-88 – large, cold, Group 3. At 2600 LY from Earth and not too far West of the direct Sag A line, this was my first accidentally-discovered pre-Tagged ELW in a long time.

PIPE (STEM) SECTOR DL-Y d112 – Finally, another pre-Tagged ELW – and perhaps no wonder, as it’s situated in the relatively small and thoroughly-explored-by-now Pipe(Stem) Sector. Not just Tagged, but the whole system was already Mapped too. At just one and a half jumps away from the Pipe(Stem) Trojan (which I also visited but is already in the List), this tropical Group 3 world has so far been overlooked in the List.
 
That would be a first known one. I would suspect the main star would be a Neutron Star?

Yes.

The ELW also has a NSP 20ls from it.
 
Yeah. That's an ELM around a class Y dwarf in a system with a neutron star main star: all of these are quite rare, so it's a very rare combination (congratulations!), but none are firsts.
 
Well, here we are. I updated the list again (although I left Puffy's post out - oops, sorry, it will be in later), and I decided that the next update will be the final one. I'll be closing the list to submissions on July 20, so if you have any entries you'd still like to send in, please do so before that day!
If in the future there'll be a reason to log things about ELWs that aren't included in the journals, then I'll reopen the list, and probably remake it as well. A big part of why I decided to stop updating it is because Google Sheets is straining under its size more and more, and every update has become more annoying to make thanks to that. (Sure, I could start removing things like the rarity score calculation, but I'd rather have them stay.)
Maybe that reason to reopen will come with the next expansion, maybe we won't. We'll see. Although I don't find it likely that it will, mostly due to the fact that for all the things Frontier do wrong, they've at least been doing journal logging quite right.

So, thanks again everyone for your submissions, and remember that there's until July 20 if you still have some that you haven't sent in yet!


Update: I changed the date from June 6 to July 20, since that'll be the fifth anniversary of the list.

Thanks for all the work with this. I have not been flying much these days, busy with other games. I do keep following this thread and appreciated the work involved to keep it current. So, thanks again and fly safe. O7

Thanks marx, your list was always a good reason to head out and run a few surveys during idle times.

Appreciate all the work you put into it during all those years :)
 
Thanks for all your work in maintaining the ELW list!
Just wondering if there is any other source that I can access that lists ELW's and includes who was the first discoverers?

That's the one piece of information about ELWs that the journal still doesn't log, so nope, there aren't any.

5 years of beautiful, community data collection. Is there a way I could calculate rarity scores for my own, personal spreadsheet?
