Yeah I ticketed it

Just been to GD319 in the old bubble. Tiny star but very dense!

1.2305 solar masses
0.0057 solar radii

so density would be mass/volume = 1,586,239.7x solar density

Temperature didn't come up - logged out and back in again and it showed up. But this didn't seem to work with another system I'd visited.

May I suggest that you use colours to denote new entries, perhaps a green highlight for a new entry, then the previous greens turn orange before going to white.

Here's an example of the list over three days

Entry 1 : new today
Entry 2 : existing
Entry 3 : -
Entry 4 : -

Entry 1 : last update
Entry 2 : existing
Entry 3 : new today
Entry 4 : -

Entry 1 : existing
Entry 2 : existing
Entry 3 : last update
Entry 4 : new today

good idea I change them in a bit

Sounds cool if it was working as intended. System map is rather useless, and if you purchase system info, it never seems to add the info you just purchased. The deep scanner seems to only find stars and planets. Went searching for a station in a large system, found both stars, all the planets, but never found a station. Imaginary 16mil people living there also.

Really cool idea though. One that I would be looking forward to, maybe after release when they have it all working properly.

Looks good this. I'll get some stats as I go around and update them. :)

If you don't see station on the system map then there isn't one, you cant actually discover stations, they are already on your system maps.
I think when you purchase system maps you are only buying some of the data not all of it, although I have bought some system data that didn't update system map at all

I've added a few new entries to OP for most stations, largest and smallest gas giant, smallest body, and smallest earth like. Can anyone beat them?

Itsy Bitsy Medusa 4

I doubt it will be the smallest we find, but lacking any other entries so far, Medusa 4 is small enough that its orbit conforms to what is expected for a large planet, rather than acting like a traditional binary star.

Nominated for:
  • smallest star: 0.0606 solar radii
  • coldest star: 335.00 kelvins
  • lightest star: 0.0117 solar masses

System map is anything but useless. I know. I Rift. Hence I can not use it.

for me there is no way I know to figure out which of the 5 stations in a system actually houses the commodities market. And I would never have gotten that 570000Credits fine for Tobacco if I could have used the System Map.

Thanks for spotting that, I've also added latest entries to Op. Got todays Newsletter Beta 3 sounds very exciting!!!

You’ll be playing Beta 3 in a volume of 868,744 cubic light years, containing 2,406 star systems, including 4,181 stars and 24,918 planets.

In Beta 3 you can find our first B class star, and there are also three class five gas giants – super hot planets with clouds of metallic vapour in their atmospheres.
There are also two rare terrestrial planets with a silicate vapour atmosphere – they are incredibly hot!

Beta 3’s 2,406 star systems mean it is huge, about five times bigger than Beta 2. Yet it represents only a little over half a millionth of one per cent of the full game to be launched later this year!

I don't know if it is actually the smallest star in the Beta-2 Bubble, but at least it is far smaller than Medusa 4

A DA5VII Star as Star A in System LFT 1446

A white dwarf with Solar radius of 0.0058 (But 1.25x heavier than Sol :) )

Added! I've also added the highest population Independent and Alliance Systems to the Op as no one else has found them yet

I love seeing all the submissions you gus have been finding. If I've missed your name on the HHGTED post above or your commander name is wrong, let me know and I'll update it. You should be able to search the guide and find entries on pretty much everyting that has been found here. Patau82 .. what's your Cmdr Name so I can list you as the founder of the event?

My Cmdr name is Monkey D Luffy, I've also added a few new entries to OP, Can anyone beat any of those records?
If anyone is board and waiting for Beta 3 how about a little exploration and see if you find any new records!

here's a nice pic you never know what you might find!

That is a nice shot you got there! (do you have a 4K version, I'd love it as a my wallpaper) Just a pity that the actual gravitational warping that binary systems are likely to have in real life isn't able to be modelled in the game. It's my understanding that binary systems like I Bootis would actually be tear shaped with the extreme pull of each object distorting them.

I definitely have you listed in the 'Planet Spotters' entry. I just hope this thread can attract a few more participants when beta 3 goes live and the area being explored grows.

Love that pic. Been reading up a bit on the Brown Dwarfs... they certainly are well modelled in the game. :)

That is the Hemsut System, i actually spend quite some time there studying the orbit mechanics of Stars there in Beta 2.
In Hemsut the red star orbits Hemsut B (the big yellow star) with around 300 km/s speed, while the far away star Hemsut D (top right) orbits the Hemsut B with around 80 km/s.
Fun fact now actually is...if you stay in the orbital path of a star...it gets closer to you until a certain point, when you get "picked up" by its gravitation and start moving along with it. Unfortunately this is where realism ends here.
You neither get drawn closer to the star, nor do you start rotating around it..you simply are "stuck" like in a spiderweb on the same coordinates relative to the star, moving along with it. Which is unfortunate.

Why is this important and how do you get to actually finding this? Well, since premium beta i became obsessed with getting closer to stars, than the emergency drop would allow us. So i could simply adore the sheer vastness of these stellar bodies. While you can normal cruise to a planets surface in a few hours (only to find out there is no collision...you simply fly into the planet and it vanishes from sight due to clipping), you cant really do this with stars. It would take you roughly 11 days nonstop flight to cross 1 ls of distance in normal flight with most ships, now where FA off + BOOST without speed bleeding away is gone. This means you would need to fly a month or more to get significantly closer to the big stars in Beta...not to speak of the big stars in the final game...
Now my original idea was to simply let the star then "orbit into me" because he moves as you can see quite fast on its orbit...unfortunately that didn't happen. As i was picked up as described.
The bad news now is...this pickup comes at an even further distance than the emergency drop...the good news is...if you are stuck in the gravitationfield of a "bigger" star, then a smaller one can actually get quite close to you.
This means if i am close enough to Hemsut B while also in the Orbit of Hemsut C (the brown dwarf) then Hemsut C gets quite close to me...actually i think it is possiböe to test wether collision with such a star is possible due to this circumstance...might try this out. Bad news is...getting closer to a star actually heats up your ship...even if that stars orbits into you...but again the brown dwarf isnt hot enough...even at 0.67 ls distance temperature stayed at 78% in my hauler...
Anyway i will probably post in the near future about all what i have been testing and with some suggestions for improvement on realism and gameplay mechanic...while also featuring some 30 hour timelapse footage of exactly this hemsut system seen above ^^
