Occurences of types of Giant planets depending on the type of star

Hello

I'm trying to survey the Remembrance area heavily in search for the last variety of Globe Mollusc no one has found yet.
And I'm trying to find certain types of Giant planets within certain star-type systems.

For instance, I've looked through dozens (100s?) of systems with the main star being A, and I haven't found any Class I giant or Water giant, but I've found all other types (Classes II - V, with Ammonia life, with Water life)
With B-main-star systems, after again dozens if not a hundred systems, all I could find were Classes III-V and nothing else.
So maybe there's no point looking for some Giants within certain star types?

Is there a general table with the percentage of occurrences of giant types per main-star type?

Thanks.
 
You can try my own ED7K Survey results, which are sorted by star type. I surveyed 1000 of each star class from B to L, spread across 5 different galactic sectors. You'll be wanting to look at the TOTALS tab, over at the far right.

And yes, each gas giant variety is found in certain star types more often than others. Which is logical, as the Sudarsky classifications are sorted by cloud-top temperature, and this temperature is largely dependant on how hot the star is. So, Class I gas giants are rare in B and A class systems, while Class III and above are rare in M and L star systems.

Water Giants are about as rare as Earth-likes, except they almost never are found in stars of Type B or hotter, or Type K or cooler. In my Survey I only found them In A, F and G class stars. They do exist around other star types, they're just really, really rare.
 
Even better, you can use all the EDSM data, and needn't even process the json dumps to get the information you want, like parent / main star types and such: EDAstro has done that already, you can download the planetary data dumps here and work with them.
As far as I know, nobody has done this before, so the "bad" news is that if you're interested, you'll have to do it yourself: the good news is that most of the groundwork is done.
 
That's excellent, I knew this was somewhere, I had no idea where to look :)
I've opened it in a spreadsheet, I'll try to make up a little formula to figure this all out

Though I'm pretty sure I'm 'wasting' my time now.
Either there isn't an 8th and 'final' variety of globe molluscs, or it spawns in systems not present in the active area (there's no Wolf-Rayet, no Carbon, no White dwarfs and the few Neutron and Black holes are likely outside the edge of the area).

Still, a ton of systems would have been visited after this, not entirely useless.
