Did they make changes to the stellar forge again? It seems a little boring now. Just last year I found so many neat systems. Now... 22KLy trip, not even a single biological signal. In the last 60 jumps, I haven't even found a system with more than 15 bodies in it. Not even talking about ringed bodies. half the gas giants I find (which are also rare now it seems) don't have rings, Icy bodies are empty too. Am I having a stroke or is stellar forge lacking excitement?
stellar forge changes?

Like any journey, it depends on the route... (but mainly on luck!)
Bio life is very rare...
I've been to Colonia and back several times in the last couple of months - pick a route and hope, penultimate trip was pretty bland in features, although a few new ELW's found, last trip was much more interesting (although the biggest system was 57 bodies - I have seen 102) so just luck I guess.

Last time I took a trip to the core in december, I found atleast 10 uncharted neutron stars lol. about 3 uncharted biologicals and every 5 jumps I had a system with 25+ bodies.
In most regions, Bio signals are basically non-existent, and always have been (unless you count the Beta, when they were everywhere). This has not changed.
The Stellar Forge algorithms have not changed either. We know this because the Galaxy has not been reset, and the Stellar Forge algorithms cannot change without resetting the galaxy. Not in terms of generating planets within star systems, at any rate.
You might be in a "Dry" part of the galaxy. As I transect across a sector in my surveys, I do encounter what appear to be wide "dry" patches, where the systems are either completely empty of planets or are fairly small and boring; then I'll hit a vein of gems with lots of waterworlds and terraformables. However, I'm not entirely sure these "patterns" I'm seeing are more significant than statistical clustering. At any rate, it's just variability within the Forge, rather than any actual change to the Forge.
What are your star filters set at? The report of star systems being "lesss than 15 bodies, few gas giants" makes me think you're mostly visiting Class M and/or Brown Dwarf systems.

We used to have
Moons intersecting rings - REMOVED
Worlds colliding - REMOVED
Crazy Spinning Stars - REMOVED
Insane terrain - REMOVED
Super deep craters - REMOVED
Dangerous Black Holes - REMOVED
Once they removed all the exciting things to find everything went beige.
Now you can only re-live those awesome times by watching old videos.
Shame really
Some examples below - Enjoy!

I really don't know why they removed them. Probably offended someone's scientific 'perfection.' Hope it wasn't Braben.
