A few notes for submitters, using examples:

"Faint Beacon" - systems that are hard to reach are not notable unless they have something unusual inside them. A class IV gas giant isn't notable.
"Heated Jupiter" - hot gas giants aren't notable, unless they set some sort of record
"White Triade" - systems of multiple F-class stars are also not notable

There has been an uptick in submissions lately from DW2, and many of these are submissions that don't meet the notability criteria.

When submitting, please ask yourself the following questions; if you can't answer most of them as "yes", then you should likely not submit:

* "Would most pilots consider traveling a long distance to see this?"
* "Would most pilots consider detouring from their route to see this?"
* "Is this a feature that is very hard to find in other systems?"
* "Is this feature visually unusual?"

Unfortunately, for beginners who didn't do their research - which can mean simply asking others if it's rare - these questions are difficult to answer correctly.
Things will remain like this in any case; however, it's a good thing when beginners are making new submissions.

In this B main star system 11th gas giant is heated by nearby stars and will soon become a brown dwarf itself.

As a note, gas giants don't "become brown dwarfs" unless they somehow accrete a lot of extra mass. The ones you listed are only about 1-3 jupiter masses so they're a long way from being a BD anyway (which have a mass of 13-80 jupiter masses)

"Brown" dwarf is also a fairly vague term now a days. "Substellar body" is sometimes preferred. It's better to use an actual spectral class to denote how much radiant heat the body is emitting, which tells you useful things about the internal processes and mass. Low-mass objects heated will just start to lose atmosphere. An object over 0.08 stellar masses is just at the limit for deuterium fusion and can heat itself internally (and marks the line between "planet" and "star"). An object of Jupiter size could in theory become a Y-class dwarf by accreting enough mass to start that kind of fusion.

Well if you want to get right technical about it then spectral types are really more about chemistry than temperature... (it just happens that they correspond closely).

Also, there's basically zero chance that an existing jupiter-mass planet is ever going to accrete another 13 times its mass to become even the smallest brown dwarf - either it picks up that mass when it forms or it doesn't get it at all. So yeah, it's theoretically possible to become a BD if it did, but in practice it's impossible (monoliths notwithstanding...).

Hi there, i found this unusual entry in the Project and well, in my opinion it's really not something worth an entry?
Maybe there is something very important missing from this text, but from what i can see in the description and system map, it's just a very average cold system that only has an uncommon type of volcanism?

This is a placeholder entry. It is being worked on.

Black Fields

About 2500 light years above the galaxy disc there is a cluster of 28 black holes. There is also a 29rd one which is 300 higher and
seems to be unreachable or at least one way trip. There are few scoopable stars in this sector, and most of the systems are
quite distant from each other, so 50+ jump range and at least 5 premium FSD injections are higly recommended.

Dark Light Rings

A system contains 3 stars orbiting a black hole 2 of which have metal rich rings. Due to game graphics drawbacks these
stars are not recognized as light sources so rings are completely in darkness.

Four Suns Earth

The system has an Earth-like world that orbits around mass center of 4 stars and therefore must have an interesting
view of 4 suns on the surface.

Green Gas Ball

Just in about 1000 light years from Colonia there is one more green gas giant. It is more green than the one
in Eol Prou KW-L C8-32 and therefore emits more green glow.

I know but it is not presented on a map. I think such gas giants are rare enough to put them all on a map.

Good to know that you know, I thought it more likely that you just came across it randomly, on your own. In any case, it's always better to credit your sources, and the first discoverer here. Sure, it would be good to have them all on the GMP. Did you try contacting the discoverers to suggest submitting their finds here?

 

[Vovva The Bluehaired]

I don`t think they will be against it, the giant is in the list of green giants already. Moreover, on the map itself first discoverer is not shown, so the visitor have to go to this forum thread to find out. Plus, after arriving to the system the vistor will see first-discoverer after aiming the planet. So I don`t think that I somehow assign myself as the discoverer.
