I'm navigating the Scutum-Centaurus Arm north in the Intermediate 4th Quadrant, and finding few interesting things. Navigating here is a torment, so I'm going on with the Torment series of POIs, the few interesting things I've spotted in 10kly, and man, they are weird, especially becouse they are in the middle of nothingness.

ASSAIRSHCH Torment: ASSAIRSHCH EG-Y G4, 39382.87 Ly from Sol, Intermediate 4th Quadrant.
This is a main BH system, and very far from the Neutron Fields, almost on the ecliptical!!! That's very uncommon. The system also sports an Ae/Be and a B class main sequence, so it has Childhood, Adulthood and Death all in a system!!!


WEQEA Torment: WEQEA AA-A G0, 40245,7 Ly from Sol, Intermediate 4th Quadrant
This is a super complex system with dozen of bodies. The Main star is a super fast spinning Ae/Be, red coloured!!! I never saw a red star spin that fast. Unfortunately I'm not good at video recording, so i took 3 screenies from the same position that gives an idea. If you want to see it spin, visit this system!!!!


BYEETHE Torment: BYEETHE AA-A F2, 41165,69 Ly from Sol. Intermediate 4th Quadrant.
Gal Map and visual contact confirm this main star is a White-Blue Supergiant, but Sys Map description gives a wrong statement of radius and class (describing as a regular B type). This is not the most astonishing feature of this system though. Thre's a TT with 1,9 Solar Radii. Yes, a TT twice as big than the Sun, very similar to an A class in colour and radius. Never seen anything like this, what a monster!!!! It's the 3rd picture of the ones submitted.


Now I'm leaving the Intermediate 4th Quadrant, crawling my way to Silentium

P.S.: I have reached the 5000 systems visited, and crossed the 40000ly from sol line, in the same jump!!!! The winner system was an anticlimatic M class with few rock balls, but i toasted to myself with martian tea (hot water), alone in my ship.

I thought they were common?

Its the storms on this particular world that intrigued me, the screenshot doesn't do them justice, but the yellowish storm systems are very bright, as if that part of the atmosphere is burning. Would love to fly down there one day and take a proper look

Gas giant with water based are pretty common, i hear a lot of them, but quitted scanning them after the first 100. Small ones (12000km or less) can be Water Giants. If they make high pitch bubbling noise, and their holo-icon is of a ELW/WW type, they are water giants. If their sound is high pitch bubbling, but they have a Gas Giant Holo-Icon, they they are water life gas giants no matter their size.

Just posting up another object for consideration for inclusion in the catalogue.

I think its located in the Upper 1st quadrant? (not 100% sure now the individual map areas are gone, sorry)

Name :	The Osprey Stellar Remnant
Game map search ref. :	EOS BRAI KR-W E1-4
Description :	This system is in the very center of a small nebula or stellar plume, formed from the stellar ejecta blasted out by a dying star which collapsed upon itself to form the neutron star at this remnants core. The name is derived from the systems galactic catalogue name, Eos brai (ee - os, bray) , and I've submitted it as an object of note as it's the first nebula yet found along the length of the New Outer Arm when followed from its tip in the Formidine Rift.

Now on Upper 4th Quadrant, devoid of POIs. I found something interesting, but i will give up with the Torment series since I'm actually having fun up here.

MONOLITH OF THE SEVEN: I was moving in a random 1000 ly route on the ecliptical, crossing the Scutum Centurus arm, and bang, a NS. How rare can it be!!! Looking batter i saw a mini cluster of seven NS, separate by 50ly approx. They raise from the ecliptical for a 150ly span, and since I was zapping flat north it looked like a monolith. They have interesting planets orbiting them too, especially an Ammonia and a Terraformable (by Thargoids given the atmosphere it has).

Thanks to CMDR Edelgard Von Rhein that noticed JOORAI NI-K D8-9, Planet 3, is an UC Record. The Ammonia World with longest Orbital Period, almost double the previous record. 22k Days to make one orbit around the NS.

JOORAI NI-K D8-8 A (NS) 42871.23 From Sol
JOORAI NI-K D8-115 A (NS) 42871.75
JOORAI NI-K D8-163 A (NS) 42916.93
JOORAI NI-K D8-9 A (NS) 42861.08
JOORAI LX-L D7-164 A (NS) 42830.18
JOORAI LX-L D7-254 A (NS) 42829.56
JOORAI LX-L D7-223 A (NS) 42813.22



PLAE FREE MONOLITH: PLAE FREE AA-A H0, 43943,5 Ly from Sol, Upper 4th Quadrant, Scutum Centaurus Arm.
A lone massive Wolf Rayet drags further ashore CMDRs passing this area.


The way to Silentium is longer than i tought, maybe i'll find something interesting for the Upper 4th Quadrant reaching it.

 

[Edelgard von Rhein]

Cmdr Akira Masakari, the Ammonia World you have there with the 22k day orbit, Joorai NI-K d8-9 3, is worth submitting to the UC record breaker thread - the current record listed for the longest period for an Ammonia World on the website is about 14k days. Some interesting finds all round!

Sup, I checked the Radius of the TT, but there's a sligtly bigger already submitted. I will check the orbital period immediatly, thanks a lot.

Indeed I have subm,itted that planet, you figure in the description, I wouldn't have noticed that, thanks again.

Vela Ultima Complex

Hi folks,
I'd like to propose the following:

The Vela Ultima Complex
Game map search ref. : HYUEDAU LR-N D6-22
POI Type: Exploratory & Scientific

Vela Ultima Complex is a vast area of star formation sitting in the Vela Constellation deep in the Perseus Arm. It's clearly distinguishable on the Galaxy Map by its red coloration, being the result of illuminated Hydrogen gas. The area is rich in young and moderately old stars, which seem to be especially abundant with Gas Giants of all kinds.

Within the Vela Ultima Complex you can find

The Hyon Cluster
Game map search ref. : HYUEDAU UY-S E3-5
POI Type: Exploratory & Scientific

The Hyon Cluster seems to be the core of a group of B-type stars that have just entered the Main Sequence (hence VZ, V being Main Sequence and Z standing for Zero). Overall stellar age seems to be between 50 and 75 million years. Quite a few of these young, hot stars have their own orbiting T Tauri stars and also quite a few 'Hot Jupiter' Gas Giants.

Please see attached screenshots for review:

Thanks in advance, and as always fly safe!

I know I'm overposting here, but the 4th quadrant has few entries and I'm going on finding stuff there (well, i went there only to find pois for this thread).
So i go on posting, and of course Erimus can refuse any entry at any time. Also i don't want to impose my naming in entire maps, so if Erimus finds some of my findings interesting but doesn't like the grim names, I'm open to collective naming, also becouse I'm running out of imagination.

SCUTUM OUTER BEACON: PREOU FREE AA-A H0, 45650.66 Ly from Sol, Upper 4th Quadrant.
This system has a huge, cold and red Wolf Rayet, a red Ae/Be and a quite big, hot and young O main sequence. A Venus-like planet is squized in the orbit of these stars. Aside of the oddity of this system, it's a good beacon to the outer part of the Scutum Centaurus arm, for everybody that want to cross toward the Carina Sagittarius one in a zone where it's easy for any jumprange.

Beacon systems are always welcome, even though they aren't the best visual POIs, they offer a traveler a good nav and distance marker when using the maps I think. Although I think its better if they're at least 10K LYs apart and I wouldn't want to clutter a particular map up with a load of them (maybe a maximum of 4 per map and at least 10 K apart ?)

Sure thing. And again, just discard any of my entry you don't find meaningfull for the project, you are the boss!
Thing is that I'm finding a lot of wolf rayets in this side of the galaxy, while on the sol side i only find them either in planetary nebulae or very far from the ecliptical. So they are a novelty to me, but maybe not for more experienced explorers.

 

[Andrew Gaspurr]

Hi again,
I'd like to propose the following:

Reverberation (Solar System)

Game map search ref.: Prue Eohn EN-H d11-55
POI Type: Minor Exploratory & Scientific

The star system's central body is a Neutron Star (which is actually quite cool). Orbiting at some 3,000 LS we find an M type star. This star are seven major terrestrial planets, of which a total of six are suitable for terraforming. We have four High Metals and even two Water Worlds with indigenous carbon-water-based lifeforms. This system would make an excellent spot for a scientific outpost and further colonization attempts and it could act as a Gateway to the Vela Molecular Complex, lying directly at its threshold.

Please review attached screenshot:

As always, fly safe!
Andrew

[Eisen]

Hi,
this is my first contribution to this project, and with 2 weeks of vacation on the doorsteps I hope there are more to come. This is from my expedition to the core-regions in August and September.

Name: The EOK-BLUAE Stellar Remnant
Location: Galactic Core, appr. 1000 ly below the galactic plane
Game-Map-Search ref.: EOK-BLUAE OM-W E1-7494
Description: Situated in the very dense EOK-BLUAE Stellar Forge not far from the lower neutron-fields lies this beautiful planetary-nebula, worthy of a visit.

Cheers Eisen

I've added it to the Galactic Core map.

 

[Erimus Kamzel]

I'm probably going to take a couple of weeks break from updating the maps now as 1.4 is due out next week. Going to spend some time with that - finding out if any new exploration POIs have been added, and if so, whats rare and whats common.

If there is new content out there after 1.4. and we find it, it may be worth holding off submitting it until we know whether its something pretty unique or something that turns out to be as common as water worlds etc (i.e. not really worth adding as a unique POI).

 

[CMDR AKIRA MASAKARI]

Hi, few post ago I said that Water Giants have the ELW holo-icon. They have changed that and gave Water Giants a Gas Giant Holo Icon. I discovered it yesterday and wanted to correct myself.

Hoping to add some more information to this thread by embarking on a "Go East" expedition.
The aim is to get as far as possible in to the east (Lower 3rd Quadrant) Using a cheap fit Diamond Back Explorer. My current jump range is 20Ly. I've just passed through the local sightseeing areas (Bernards and witch head) So I'm well on my way!

 

[CMDR AKIRA MASAKARI]

Now with 1.4 the search function works again, and I'd like to submit one of my all time favourite POI that I couldn't submit since i couldn't find it since last April.

TERRA MADRE: HYPIAE AIP KX-I C23-1, 7026 Ly from Sol, Lower 3rd Quadrant.
This system sports:
1 ELW
1 Terraformable Rocky moon that orbits the ELW
2 Terraformable High Metals
1 Terraformable Water World
Every habitat that humanity can dwell in one system, including the very rare Terraformable Rocky Moon. This system has incredible scientifical value, and can be a future outpost in the Perseus Arm.
