So How Many Landable Planets Do You Think Are Out There..?

Haven't been exploring that much at all, all of my scans that I've given to the Universal Cartography people have been inside the human bubble...but from what I've seen so far I reckon that an average of 10 planetary bodies excluding Suns is probably a low estimate. But it keeps my maths simple, and as I'm mathematically dyslexic that's what I'm going for lol :D

So we've got over 400 billion sy in the Milky Way (does anyone know the exact figure..?) so to keep things simple I'm pegging that as exactly 400 billion.

10 planets x 400 billion systems is 4000 billion planets.

60% of planets in the game being landable (although it is supposed to be 'over' 60% so is probably more) would make around 2400 billion planets and moons altogether!!! :eek:

So firstly, what's your guesstimate..?

And secondly do Frontier realise they're going to make OCD gamer's lives a living hell because they'll probably want to visit and land on every single one..?!!?!? lmfao :eek::p:D

It would be a funny achievement on Xbone , land on every no atmosphere planet (lel)

From birth to death you are only alive about 2.2billion seconds if you reach 70 ish, so its a nope. :D

i doubt it could be achieved in a human lifetime, let alone the lifespan of the xbox console

Let's say you spent 1 minute visiting each planet in the galaxy. There is 525600 minutes in a year, 2400 billion landable planets total aprox. You would have to game 24/7 for 4,5 million years. So yeah, not gonna happen :p

I was of course joking about landing on every single one lol :D

But what do you reckon the average number of planetary bodies per system..?

Like I've said, I haven't explored that much but I've seen plenty of systems inside the bubble with 20+ and 30+ astronomical discoveries. An average of 10 astronomical bodies that aren't Suns or Asteroid Belts has to be a lowball figure I reckon.

I wish Frontier would release this RIGHT NAO, I'm like a kid at Christmas lololol

Still not sure that I'll be able to run it either because I'm currently using the iGPU on my Intel i7 6700K until I can afford to get myself a whopperdongler GPU in May next year. Mind you, it runs Elite Dangerous at high settings in 1080p without breaking a sweat, so maybe it'll be able to do something at Low settings..?

Is there a rule that xbox trophies have to be achievable?

Shouldn't that be 8 x 400,000,000,000,000..?

Having an average of less than 10 sounds a bit low to me..?

Nope!:eek:
4 billion is 4000 million, so the correct number is 4,000,000,000. ;)

Which = 32,000,000,000.

See how big the number is we get it wrong....lol:D

Whoops lol. Although to be fair to me, my figures were based on the values of a million, billion and trillion in the UK in the 70s. A million million used to be a billion and a million billion used to be a trillion here in the UK back in the day. :D

I think 10 landable planets per system is perhaps too much. There's lots of systems that only has suns, and many systems have planets with atmosphere seemingly unfit for landing (like the atmosphere of Venus), and then you have all the gas giants. Perhaps 5 is a better guesstimate? That would make the final number 1200 billion planets and moons to land on. Still a crazy number.

I've seen many systems while exploring which have 30-40 objects to land on too.

I think they would average out to something like 10-15 per system.

And even being generous; If we have multiple millions of players, We could not visit all those astral airless bodies.
