One of my - unfulfilled - exploration hopes (dreams? ambitions?) is to find a system that is more or less identical to our own solar system. So, a G-class star (ish - I'd take an F or K), 9 or 10 planets, small worlds in close orbit, gas giants on the outer orbits. And of course, an ELW (or water world) in the third or fourth orbit.

So far, I haven't found anything like it. Any other commanders come close?

Depends on how close you want to match. I'm sure a G-type with a 4th planet ELW, has been found. But with the same size gas giants, and other planets? It gets harder and harder.

You can get a good listing for this quite easily. Download a local copy of the ELW list (see my sig for the link), then do the following:
- sort the sheet by planet ID, remove everything that's not 3 or 4
- sort the sheet by star type (since you're left with solo stars only, doesn't matter which column), delete everything that's not G
- optionally, sort the sheet by number of moons, and delete everything that's not 1
Voilá, there you have a handy list of Earth-like worlds in Sol-like systems. You'll have to check the screenshots manually for the presence of gas giants though. If you filter out the moons, then you have only 30 to look at.

Or you can just click here, since I was curious myself about what the results would be, and made it quickly. Turns out that gas giants in those systems are quite rare.

there are only 2 G2 stars in that list, and no G2 V...

And both have the ELW as the fourth planet. Even according to other criteria, the search for a near-perfect analogue would have to continue.
However, the Stellar Forge doesn't generate G2 V stars. So if you wanted that too, you'd be restricted to non-proc. gen. stars only.

I have seen lot of system, but never one just like our own.

And i think i have never seen system, where outer planets are so far away from its main star.

Thanks to Cmdr Marx's spreadsheet, I widened the search to F, G and K stars, earthlike 3rd or 4th orbit with one moon and still didn't get really close. There are a couple with *most* of the requirements but usually the ELW was in position 4, and the other planets were displaced a bit.

Looks like the Stellar Forge doesn't like mixing ELWs and gas giants (although there are a few), but it does like plonking the asteroid belts close to the main star. But the search continues...
