Looking for a galactic heat map showing what areas are underexplored

[cmdr borschtl]

Hey guys, i know there is a lot of useful tools out there for exploration. What i am really missing though is a sort of heat map or any map for that matter showing what areas of the galaxy have been explored to what extend. Right now i can only guess what areas might be explored to a good extend and what areas might not be. A map like that would be pretty valuable for deepspace exploration.

Now, does this map exist somewhere? If not, how hard would it be to produce it? Who would we ask about it?

On a separate note, I fixed some issues in the "missing coordinates" map. I've refined the algorithm to more precisely estimate the positions of these systems that don't have coordinates recorded, rather than "painting with broad strokes".

Beautiful! Thanky you so much! Exactly what i was looking for!

I'm surprised about where has been visited most. I thought the opposite would be true. Guess density matters more than I thought.

Yep. Out on the galactic fringes, stars are thinly spread out and everybody wants to go there, doing the "circumnavigate the galaxy" thing. As a result, most stars out there have already been explored by now. The Core, on the other hand, is so densely packed with stars that even a highly trafficked route like Colonia to Sag A* still has a good chance of finding unvisited systems.

Mind you, red on the saturation map doesn't mean you won't find any new systems there. You most likely still can, but you'll have to look quite hard.
Well, except around Beagle Point.

I am about 500ly west of Colonia doing some mining and a bit of exploring, its hard to find a system here that has been visited by anyone before.

The end of Outer Arm Vacuus also has almost no undiscovered star systems left. Plenty of celesital bodies to scan/map though.

I'm not sure which part you're referring to, since the GMP fan-fiction areas weren't clearly defined. Which part do you mean, the inter-arm gap covered mostly by the Northern part of Kepler's Crest, or do mean the Southern edge of Kepler's Crest, or moving down the length of the Outer Arm, do you mean the end of the galactic arm in Xibalba?

But yes, in the places where the star density is the lowest and are popular (Beagle Point, the end of the Outer Arm, or nearly anywhere on the extreme edges of the galaxy), you pretty much won't find new systems. However, there are still some systems to be found in other red areas - such as near the bubble - if one wants to look at those specifically.
