I've taken an interest in the incorrectly categorised "White Dwarf (D) Stars" in EDSM. In short, every single "D"-type more than 100Ly from Sol is actually a sub-type, like "DA" or "DZ", etc.
I've decided for something to do in the game I'll visit these stars to fix the EDSM database, and I created a Google Sheet based on data downloaded from EDAstro as a guide:
I had expected the EDAstro data to pick up changes from EDSM and therefor update my sheet every couple of weeks with refreshed data. However, that doesn't appear to be occurring. For example, I visited Byeia Thaa II-Q d6-1 just over a month ago. It's been showing as a "DC" type on EDSM ever since, but the EDAstro data is still showing it as a "D" type.
I don't know how EDAstro is getting it's data, but something is going wrong somewhere. It's not a huge problem for me - I'll just stop updating my data from EDAstro.
The EDSM and/or EDAstro guys might be interested in having a look... Thanks guys for your excellent tools! I use them all the time
