regarding nebulae ..

[Mayan Fury]

Am currently stationed in the Hawkings Gap sector with my FC and am surveying all surrounding areas for Bio signs and anomolies, am up to 75 Lyrs from my FC but i have found absolutely nothing (well, a couple of double trit hotspots and two planets that were very nearly touching) and thats ok as ya know.. exploring but am thinking of heading towards some nebulae but, i like to be somewhere where people haven't been and am thinking that all the nebulae's have been completely surveyed and i wouldn't find (hardly?) any unexplored systems ..

Would that be a fair assessment that, all the nebulae have been completely mapped? explored?

explored in most cases yes, all landable bodies mapped no.

ah sorry, i meant explored and not mapped..
that's a shame... really don't like entering a system that someone has already visited haha
Might pop over anyway and map the areas around them and between cuz, there is nothing in hawkings gap so far ...

I might just persevere in the hope that i will eventually find something where i am...

Most of the obvious nebulae have been picked clean, particularly within about 20 kly of the bubble. Some of the furthest ones can sometimes have some undiscovered bodies. And last I looked, a few deep in the core were only about half-explored, just because of how many stars they contain.

They don't even have to be deep in the core, or in the core even. All that matters is the star density, how many stars there are near them. For example, the Froarks nebula (Froarks AA-A h22) is just under 15,000 ly from Sol, and it still had plenty of entirely undiscovered systems last summer. But when a nebula only has a couple hundred systems around it? Yep, that will have been picked clean by now. Maybe a few bodies here and there not mapped, but already discovered.

But yeah, Hawking's Gap has albidum peduncle trees and L06-type anomalies around a planetary nebula (Thaile HW-V e2-7) - and those are all the NSPs known in the region.
You could also check the other planetary nebulae, as there are seven in total in the region: maybe lesser-visited ones have NSPs in or around them too.

However, looking for NSPs around large nebulae would probably be quite pointless: when they are present there, they are common enough that it's easy to stumble upon them. As such, it's pretty certain that they've all been found there. (And none of the NSPs that were found much later than when the Codex launched were around large nebulae.)

i found an undiscovered ringed elw in a nebula near the core a few months back. most of the systems inside nebulae will probably be scanned but if you head further out, there will still be a good number of undiscovered systems
