Quest to Find Life Around A White Dwarf (part 2)

Also, that ammonia world itself is pretty great. I don't suppose you made some screenshots of it? That must have looked interesting.

I lost the screenshots of the Ammonia World when my hard drive failed.At least I saved all my unusual White Dwarf system finds just before it went kaput.

Go to https://github.com/EDDiscovery/EDDiscovery/releases and install ED Discovery

See how it works at https://github.com/EDDiscovery/EDDiscovery/wiki/How-EDDiscovery-Works (and the rest of that wiki).

If you just want stats and maps for your travels and to contribute to the community databases then it's pretty easy to get to grips with.

Have uploaded it.As I have changed my PC last month will that mean I will only have data available from that point?

I sometimes do another honk manually, especially when it's a lone star "system" and the honk didn't discover anything.

Did the same until noticing that if you open the system map and can't scroll to the right, then there's nothing there - definitely, and a little faster than re-honking. If the initial honk 'fails' and there *should* be bodies there, then you'll be able to scroll to the right. It's as if the system map knows how much room the bodies will need to be displayed, even before the bodies are retrieved.

If you lost your log-/journal-files when your drive failed then unfortunately your history is gone with them. EDD can only get that info from those files. Any chance to retrieve any data from that failed drive?

Afraid so. On the bright side if you've registered with EDSM your flight logs will be recorded there from now on and EDD can pull them back again should you have another disk failure.

Interesting thread. Coincidentally, there is an article in last week's New Scientist about alien life on planets around white dwarf stars.

I will examine all such planets carefully from now on.

EDIT: This is a bloody pay-wall link, sorry.

Essence is
-narrow habitable zone where water could exist
-such planets are probably tidally-locked
