Should be 135% afair, but I might remember wrong. 130%-135% is correct for the python.

Ok. I found my mistake - i never select the system i am lookin on and without this it will not display the stars allignment.
Now i can see them. 
Yep that's what I was going to do a Vid On Good job, I'll still do the vid, remember you can rotate the map too !
Looking forward to it mate!
I just heard of a cloud consisting primarily of Ethanol-alcohol in G34.3, now that is something to explore for a pirate
Does one of you know where that cloud is located in E: D?

It's definitely 150% on a Cobra, that much I know. If it's different for different ships, I'll definitely have to keep a close eye on that!
I also definitely see (and possibly hear) warnings for overheating at 100%.
Are you in the beta? I think I read that the heat damage threshold in the beta has dropped to ~130%. Not positive though.
I don't know if I'm the only one but I've had trouble understanding the size differences of different stars when I'm cruising through the galaxy. Yes, you can see the solar radius, mass, class etc. but when you jump into a system, the main star appears to be the same size no matter which system you're in. You can really begin to see the sizes when you're super cruising away from it and turn back from long range .
I know this has been done before but here are my comparison pictures edited with some awesome paint skills. Hopefully you find them mildly interesting atleast! You can see the basic info from the pics, distance is the same: 800 Ls give or take a couple of Ls'. I tried to take screenshots at 500Ls but the red giant filled too much of my screen at that point. This is rather a fast comparison from only one part of space which I'm currently exploring so I didn't find anything between 5-80 solar radius
1st: red giant, 2nd: class C star, 3rd: Class B star, 4th: Class M star
And last sample of my paint art, all 4 put together next to each other:
I knew that the biggest stars in Milky Way are huge beyond comparison but it kinda hit me how huge the differences are when I concentrated on the size of the stars while super cruising. Kinda funny that I've played this from release and only now realized how fricking huge everything really is... As I said, you can't really see it since you get dropped eg 2 Ls away from class M stars and 400 Ls from red giants so they look like they're the same size, atleast to me.

Just look at how far away you are from the star once you have targeted it. That's all that seems to give a sense of scale. Landed at Betelgeuse, and it looked like a normal star, until I saw how far away from it (which obviously means its centre) I was.
First thing I thought when I saw this in today's 1.1 update (after "ooooh!") was it's going to save Jackie hundreds of hours

Just awesome eh?
Adding this vid to the guide
[video=youtube_share;UziQbz5F2ew]http://youtu.be/UziQbz5F2ew[/video]
Yeah, that's what I've been doing. But I've still moved a bit further away and checked the distance then, it's more "in your face" then imo.
hi guys, i was about 6kly away from sol and reinstalled the game. everything is ok, it spawned me on same spot, statistics were same as before, but do you think i will loose all my exploration data that i acquired during that trip?
Your commander is stored server side along with all explo data, so a big no to your fears.
Yo explorers, wanna have a drink at aquila?
There should be a cloud (G34.3) containing Ethanol-alcohol located in the vicinity,
i dream of a stellar distillery XD

I don't think this is in my way, but cheers!
I have a dusty old bottle of rum Pyrat somewhere in here. I just need to dig it up in all the rubish in my cockpit.
In any case one of you gets to claim the cloud before me, can we agree on naming it "Morgan's Nebula"
in homage to the spiced gold drink from captn morgan?

With detailed data like that we should be able to get the full formulas for all bodies once we get some datapoints not just for stars.
