Does anyone know of a place i can go to that has a complete list of systems in Elite Dangerous? I dont want a 3D map, just a excel spreadsheet or something.
looking for list of stars within ED
- Thread starter fallbackcoma777
- Start date
Do you mean all four hundred billion or just the populated ones?
all 400 billion... Sounds crazy i know, but if the names are in the game I'd like to see the system names. If this exist, id like to look at it. hoping something jumps out in a sector. like if a unique system name sticks out in an area where its mostly "blah blah blah sector blah blah blah". I just wasnt sure if someone had at the system files, or if its possible and complied a list.
Um...I'd really know what kind of data software you are using to analyse 400 billion system names
I don't think you will fit them in Excel
Edit: And I'm not sure that FDev have ever provided that information.

OK, so let us start a list. I'll begin then: -
1 Aurigae
Or just use the list in Inara here http://inara.cz/galaxy-starsystems

400 billion names if scanned over at 100 per second non stop would take years to look through
if you were on a galactic trip and you had nothing to do but wait for the fsd cool down and jump, it would be nice to pass through a system that has a unique name to the region. maybe something alien can be found there. A wild crazy idea i know, but i cant be the only one whos thought of this.
IF....just saying IF there was such a list...if you had that list somehow instantly loaded on your computer, and if you started scrolling down that list, you would spend the rest of your life and the slider on the side would never even move..
*edit* 761 years at 1000 systems/minute if I had the right amount of zeros...mind boggling

Im not going to argue that fact, but that still doesnt mean i dont want it. but it looks like it doeant exist.

I already posted it! http://inara.cz/galaxy-starsystems
(reminds me of a certain scene from Westworld where Bernard Host can not see himself)

Awhile back for giggles I crunched numbers on what it would take to scan all 400 billion systems:
averaging ~ 40 minutes per system (full scans mind you {as we all know this can vary greatly}
playing 18 hours a day it would take ~
46 million years.
put all that into a spreadsheet? oh my...
I'd think your PC would not handle it.
even excel has limits yes?

There are over 400 billions stars in Elite. Excel is limited to just over 17 billion cells. You'll need a copy of Frontier's database which, I'd bet, they won't be willing to share.
Your best bet would be to get an export of EDSM's database though it is limited to systems that people have visited and submitted.
What I did was to get some star catalogues and then sort them by galactic longitude; that way you can have a rough idea of which stars will be in which directions, although the distance estimates can be very far off so it's an inexact art.
*Most* stars in the HIP catalogue are in ED, although not necessarily under their HIP designation. Almost every star from the HR catalogue is in, as you'd expect. Maybe, I dunno, a third or half of HD. There are many strange and wonderful catalogue designations in the game, but they're not usually 'complete.'
Even in RL, we don't usually have the information needed to say "in this particular area, you will find star such-and-such" because our estimates of distance are not precise, except for stars which are close to us. We know the direction of stars exactly, but the distance we don't know so well. Even the distance to obvious stuff like the Pleiades has been the source of some controversy.

I should say also that looking at catalogue stars in game is the single main thing that I've been doing recently.
My aim at the moment (I'm less than 10% of the way through) is to visit every star in the HR catalogue, which will have as a useful side-effect that EDSM will know all their positions when I finish. Maybe half of them are in EDSM so far - almost all have been visited and tagged, but not everyone uses EDSM.
Here is a link to my current spreadsheet of progress through HR.

Considering MS Excel is limited to 1,048,576 rows per worksheet I'm guessing getting all 400 billion systems in one list is a little far fetched.
I doubt this would meet the OP's request. Most system locations, names, and contents are procedurally generated. There is no need for ED to maintain any data about any systems that have not been visited by a commander (which is, again, most systems). The algorithms behind the generation are not only adequate for the game's needs, but far better. Your computer does not have to receive, or store, the entire galaxy map (nor could it). It just has to run the procedures that populate it, which should be much faster and is definitely more compact.
Next you should visit all of the 2MASS stars...good luck typing them into the galaxy map search box
I made it my mission to visit all the stars beginning with Agony. Zero stars... was over very quick
