I blame the forces created by the gravitational pull ;-)

Fair enough, it seems the game only checks for tidal forces when determining when to display an oblate body and when a round one. Has anyone even seen different levels of oblateness either, btw? Seems to me they all look the same.

This suddenly became evident for me when I found yet another gas giant with very low orbit, and it was oblate.

The whole affair is rather sad, considering that most of the observed oblateness in reality is caused by rapid rotation.

I have seen quite a few oblate GGs now and some do appear more oblate than others. Not all have been in close orbits but most of the ones i have found have had fairly low mass relative to size and a low rotational period.

Aight, I stand (probably) corrected then. There most definitely are no oblate stars, though. And objects with ridiculous rotation rates can still be happily round.

The quadruple Wolf-Rayet system was a huge disappointment. Only the stars, nothing else. Oh well. Onwards, back to Earth, or somewhere close enough (no permit

)

EDIT: Adding the official record listing here for log keeping purposes (helps with search)

found another G/F confused star: HD 25361

previous one was HR 207.

I guess the question is, is this just a case of "bad system description" or does the stellar forge really use F-Class parameters to calculate the metrics?

If it is the former, then the Galaxy map G classification should count for records.

Has anybody ever found Class G supergiant descriptor? If yes that would rule out descriptor being wrong!

and one more : HD 18391

looking at the colors. The max size of the different Class stars. And considering the current record holder with 30 solar radii is not a supergiant in the description. I have come to believe that the system map description for class g supergiants is borked and reads class f super giant. And that the galaxy map is to be trusted.

what do you all think?

don't wanna be a horirible person but can I see the full system map pleas, just to confirm the record

Sure, go check here, around 2 hours 30min mark and few minutes after while I scan all the stars and probably pop over the system map as well (right now: I have to run to work)

Some new records

Hi guys, reporting back with some records!

Coldest neutron star: SKAUDE EW-N D6-16A with 927'283.00 K

Coldest Wolf-Rayet star (and coldest stellar body overall): SKAUDE AA-A H105 A with a temp of 10.00 K!!

That star is simply ridiculous... -263.15°C, seriously?! I would call it a very big and cold gas cloud rather than a "star"

Largest A-type star: SKAUDE AA-A H522 A with 492.3300 Ro

Oldest K-type star: PREAE AEWSY QU-C C1-1 A at 18'453 My

oldest L-type dwarf: PREAE AEWSY QU-C C1-1 C at 18'453 My

lightest Class I gas giant: PRU AESCS AA-A G10 4 A with 1.1661 earth masses

Last, I've seen that under "planetry ring records" you have the largest separation between two consecutive rings but not the smallest. If you want to add this record I would claim it with the rings of SKAUDE AE-D B27-0 1:

Smallest separation between two consecutive rings: SKAUDE AE-D B27-0 1 A to B ring with 42 km

That's it for now, we'll see if I keep finding nice stuff in the SKAUDE sector!

Hey Grazbaat! Some nice records there. Bute I would like to ask you to reformat them (you can check out Lord Zapans posts to see how they should look). It'S really helpful for us if we can just copy & paste the records. ATM we would have to edit each one manually.

Oh wow... Stellar Forge (or is it Galaxy Forge? What did they call their procedural system?) at its best again

Great find nonetheless.

(In my experience the procedural generation most often goes derp with super massive first tier stars and their orbiters... it seems to me it first generates "planets" with suitable mass range, and only then starts filling in what types of objects they are. This leads to hilarity sometimes.)

Nice finds man and yeah the stellar forge is screwed up for the WR special stars (WNO, WO, etc.), 10K is indeed quite a feat considering most planets dont go below 20K.
Technically the corona and the center of the star can be much hotter than the surface but I think this is a straight failure from Stellar forge ... but a record failure nontheless

just asking if someone has already found a binary black hole system?
I just did =)

nevermind. system view showed a completely black ice planet

My record so far is a quaternary black hole system ... in the usual Skaude AA-A H### region

oh well, that would have been a black hole orbiting a black hole we're still looking for one of those
not the same as a binary btw
