Fair enough
We're not doing this with our own data! (But we log much more info...)Fair enough
We considered gathering a lot more system data but decided to keep things as simple as possible to avoid excessive time spent entering data on spreadsheets.
More time exploring, less time inputting data!
Hi All.
Well after a 3/4 month break away from Elite I decided this evening to dust off the HOTAS and log back in and not being sure of what to do I've made my way out to BD+22 3878 to start to help with mapping the sector.
Not long after approaching the sector I soon started to regret having a moment of madness whilst outfitting my Asp and fitting it just a 16T Fuel Tank (Seriously!!! What was I thinking :S). I'll see how it goes, although if I find myself having to make to many diversions to scoop then I might make a quick trip back to swap it over to a 32T.
My first question is probably a very simple one to which I think I know the answer...
If I come across system that has been fully mapped by another Commander who is not taking part in the Dumbbell Project do I just go ahead and mark it as Green on the spreadsheet?
I'll only head off to BD+22 3878 this evening and then head off from there over the next few nights.
Thanks & Regards o7

CMDR Adept Geraden reporting for duty. Heading back from Jaques with some time to kill. Will donate it to a good cause.
And to answer Engadine's question. Check the system for precious and add them to the second sheet.

How is this project going?
The project is moving along slowly
I took a bit of a break from Elite myself but I'm back and scanning systems with a few other commanders.
I made an unexpected discovery this evening while exploring Dumbbell Sector EL-Y C18. The 4th planet has 3 rings!
I almost hit outer ring in supercruise while closing in to scan the moons!

If you're making the trip to the Dumbbell Sector from the bubble, stop by 12 Vulpeculae on the way to enjoy the light show!
I've just returned from scanning another 100 systems in the Dumbbell Sector. I found 2 planets with materials for grade 1 and 2 fsd boosts!
Dumbbell Sector DL-Y C22 3D
Germanium - 3.5% (25%, 50% boost)
Vanadium - 3.0% (25%, 50% boost)
Cadmium - 0.9% (50% boost)
Niobium - 0.8% (50%, 100% boost)
Dumbbell Sector DL-Y C6 A3 D
Germanium - 3.5% (25%, 50% boost)
Vanadium - 3.0% (25%, 50% boost)
Cadmium - 0.9% (50% boost)
Niobium - 0.8% (50%, 100% boost)
Dumbbell Sector IR-T A4-0 1A
Arsenic - 1.4% (100% boost)
Niobium - 0.8% (50%, 100% boost)
Polonium - 0.3% (100% boost)
Dumbbell Sector DL-Y C22 2A
Arsenic - 2.4% (100% boost)
Cadmium - 1.4% (50% boost)
Niobium - 1.3% (50%, 100% boost)
Yttrium - 1.1% (100% boost)
We're getting close to 600 high value planets recorded in the sector now, currently 587. The value of those will increase significantly when 2.3 is released.

Still underway?
Is there a roster somewhere, or a number of participants?

It's still underway, not sure if it's a proper roster but the participants are listed in the far right of the starsheet tab "Dumbbell Sector Systems List", up to 37 cmdrs have participated/or intended to participate.
I'm kinda adopting the project, gives me a good excuse to scan everything and rank up my exploration while doing something more meaningful than just picking a direction. I intend to get all star systems in the green in that sheet, verify ones that are marked but not green, and once all that's done I would like to add the systems to edsm if they're not on there already. It's a very big project but I'll have a blast with it.
Hi there,
Pretty noob in the game, i'm interested in the exploration aspect of it and then i found your project.
I think i've done what needed on the google sheet and i'm ready to scan my first sector aka Dumbbell Sector BM-U B3-8.
Hope to find support and advice
Cheers and fly safe

Hi there,
I need a confirmation about ammonia worlds. Yesterday, i found an ammonia life based world. I've put it in the sheet, is it right or we dont care about these ones?

Thanks, with some chill music or youtube on the second screen, it's so cool.
And the credits are not bad too
