HIP 110773 8 - largest Earth-like at 15,812 km radius

BTW, Brown Dwarfs are bodies with some stellar features but they are not stars - it seems to me that they should be excluded from categories concerning stars, at least.

Edit: Aowicha 4 - largest Gas Giant and largest planet with rings at 77,455 km radius

I'm surprised the gas giant has an atmosphere!

Bet the environment on that planet is hostile, even by gas giant standards. ;)

Added new records to Op.
I've also added a few new categories, smallest and coolest non brown dwarf stars,
body with most moons as well as closest station to main star and closest to any star.
If any one has any other categories to suggest I will gladly add them!

For closest body to a star:

Keling B 1 to Keling B

Waited for the gas giant to ignite but never happened, and I'm guessing the distance under a LS :D

Nice find, did you try flying through the gap?

Perhaps you should be more precise what a moon of a body is, eg. is a moon of a moon of a body a moon of this body, too? ;) Are bodies orbiting Brown Dwarves planets or moons?
As new categories I would suggest: Largest and smallest body with ammonia-based life and the same with water-based life (I don't know whether or not there are more kinds of life out there to find).

New findings:

Largest body and largest body with rings (with water-based life, too :) ) - Borom Caquit 1 at 77,670 km radius
View attachment 1274

Smallest Earth-like (with water-based life, too) - Etznabihik Mangk C 5 at 2,863 km radius

Added new categories and entries!
Also found smallest body!!:D
LHs 278 1 with a radius of 338km , tiny rock even has a Orbis starport!


To clarify what a star, planet and moon is I think it would make sense to go by the current ED System Map.
So a Star is the first body and any of the other bodies directly below it
A Planet is any body shown to the right of a star
A Moon is any body shown below a planet
I think this works but I'm sure there is a few exceptions to this rule. I think its best to keep it as simple as possible.
I will post a pic to try and illustrate this when I get a bit of time later

Nice find! It's really tiny :)

So according to this rule the Brown Dwarf in HIP 102466 is a planet? I think it would be better to have them all as subcategory of Stellar Bodies instead of Stars as there will soon be black holes and neutron stars and they should be other subcategories of Stellar Bodies, as well.

I have also tried to determine what's the exact distance between Keling B and B1 (almost lost my Asp doing it) - it's just under 1Ls but I'm not sure how close their surfaces are (my calculations say it's about 0.3Ls). BTW, it could be one of established challenges of ED to fly between Keling B and B1 without ship destruction - I am yet to try more risky approach with a cheaper ship :)

Total reedit: Sorry, I had to reedit it all as too many things changed.

LP 30-55 B is the coldest one at 1,316 K but Taliesin B at 0.0859 solar masses - lightest one.

LHS 455 A at 0.0046 solar radius - smallest star :)
View attachment 1599

Difu 3 at 77,717 km radius - largest body and largest body with rings
Difu 3.jpg

Just for reference not records:
Anlave 9 at 72,265 km - largest body with ammonia-based life
Taliesin C 2 at 4,617 km - smallest body with ammonia-based life

Added all new entries, your really good at this!
I'm going to wait to see what comes out in final release before I probably make a site with these records, I will change categories then.
I've really enjoyed doing this, It has added a lot to my exploration trips so I will defiantly keep this going!!
would be nice if FD could tell us if we actually found any records!:D

Yes, but true records are so improbable to find and I would prefer if they stayed silent, anyway, because we could continue searching, then :)

I was thinking more about the limited space we have access to in Beta
I also found system with most stations, Bugas with 9!
 

Jagaroth

Biggest system LHS 3447 (35 + 2 Metalic rings). 7 stations and outposts and internal trading between them.

Coming back when I can aford to mine. Internal distance over 120,000 ls.

Hip 63835
3 black hole's unfortunately cant see them or scan them, guess they haven't been implemented yet:(
17 Stellar bodies including black hole's and brown dwarfs
Hip 63835 A has a solar mass of 74.8711! one of the invisible black holes is orbiting it almost in contact with its surface
here's a shot of 63835 A from over 600ls away
View attachment 2380
and here's one from a 5000ls
View attachment 2387
there's a few planets around some of the stars wish I had an advanced scanner this is going to take some time!!

One last shot!
View attachment 2394
there should be a black hole where the unexplored circle is, there should also be a set of binary black holes in the centre of the cluster of stars you can see to the left
oh well, guess I'll just have to come back when the black holes have been added

That's a big star!
I thinking of heading over to VY Canis Majoris to see how big it is, but its a little far 1,700 Ly from where I am at the moment!
Until then I will add your entry to the Original Post, Nice find Commander!!
Also going to add sol as most stations also has 9 but only 1 of them is a platform
by the way did you fly there or buy map data?

How about these cathegories:

-most stellar bodies in system
-largest only asteroids system
-smallest gasgiant (gasdwarf)
-largest terrestial planet
-most livable/terraformable planets in system
-most chaotic system (random out of plane orbits all over the place)...hard to rate this one.
-highest Universal Cartography payout
