My first Earth-like (and yours)
- Thread starter ChloeDB
- Start date
It just happens I still have a picture of it. From January 8, 2016. Taken from a trip I made through the horsehead, hopped over one arm core-ward then came back in time to race to Distant Worlds I waypoint 4.

I think that's reasonableHuh, it looks like I didn't take a screenshot of it at the time. I only have the system map screenshot that I took later. My first was Bleia Eohn WA-D d13-18 B 2.
EDIT: Oh, it's probably that 42 kls distance. I probably didn't feel like flying to it, despite the significance. LOL.

Have you really not been around long enough that you needed to fly almost all of that 42kls to tag it?
My first was Slyaiks JG-N C23-1 A 2
Then on the way home I had an unfortunate silent running related incident and blew up. I went to scan it again but I couldn't. The third time I visited I met up with Chiggy Vonrictofen and he scanned it while we were in a wing and fortunately the group tag stuck so I finally got my name on it about 2 years after my initial discovery...

This isn't my first earth-like but it is the first I filed in my extremely disorganised cabinet of random screenshots. April 1 3301, not a joke.
I think, it was from the trip I started that day to get up to Elite. I had already earned something like 30-40 million on exploration prior to that date, but I didn't log anything before April 3301 as I was still naïvely thinking we'd get a in-game EDSM with our personal searchable history. >.<
7 million credits to my name. Those were the days... When I floated around in open in a shield-less T9, without credits to cover a rebuy.

Earliest Screenshots I got are dated 16 Aug 2015 :
(unsure if that was the first though, no idea)

Congratz!
SYNOOKIO NW-I C23-50 was my first, AUG 15 3301. Just passed 3000 a few days ago.

I went back out to map it when that became I thing, and I've just looked again for the first time since then and that seems to have taken Chiggy's name off it
It used to be there though
Oh man, now you've made me realize how much the FSS has invaded my brain. Duurrrrrr... Of course I flew over there, back in early 2017. So yeah. I have no idea why the lack of a screenshot then.
The first procedurally-generated ELW I found was, of course, already found and tagged by someone else: Wregoe AK-C c27-7, planet 1. I took pictures of it anyway, because I'd never found such a thing before.
That was in December 3301/2015, about 5 months after I started playing. Yes, it took me 5 months between starting the game and getting enough credits to buy an Asp to do some proper exploring. Historical note: as you can see, this was an early iteration of the system map: the planet-selector cursor is square, and the planet's vital statistics are missing a few key indicators... such as surface gravity. You'll also see it was before ship-names were an option, as my Asp has neither name nor ID plate.
The first ELW I actually got to put my tag on was Bleae Thua MX-B d13-8 A7, over a month later, by which time Horizons had been released: the planet-selector had evolved to its present circular shape, the surface gravity is now included in the stats, and airless moons have the "landable" crescent:
And just you show all you whippersnappers what life was like back then, here's the screenshot I grabbed of the awesome 50% bonus I gained for scanning this wonderful planet:
Yep, that planet bagged me almost an entire 100,000 credits. Even back then, that wasn't much to write home about, you could easily get more than that by blowing up a few pirates.

My first Earth Like found 5k from the bubble. To cut a long story short I found it, then lost it when my ship exploded and 18 months later I found this pic again so revisited and finally got it tagged.

It's still unmapped to this day.

You should go snag it
checked mine, too. also not mapped. That's ok. I'm not heading in that direction any time soon. Going on a ghost ship and installation tour then heading to the nearby rim to view some creepy life and maybe I'll head that way or I also plan to take a peek at the centerpoint of the discovered guardian ruins to see if anything is there.
In short, not terribly worried about it.

My first discovered ELW was a binary pair, in Caer Itar, during the gamma (head-start) phase I believe. It astonished me, as I never thought that a pair of Earth-likes orbiting each other would be a possibility. Imagining what the night sky might be like on them, what other such planets might be there, and so on - that pretty much sold me on ELWs
However... Caer Itar A 1 and A 2 turned into WWTCs after the first Stellar Forge update. Unfortunately, I have no idea anymore what my next ELW that still survives to this day is, I didn't screenshot it. Its impact on me certainly wasn't as large as the Caer Itar pair's was.

I understand why t happens but its sad that something that means something to you has been disappeared.
