Haha that's epic =)) ... 96k LS another system but furthest body in CL Pismis 19 is 399k LS =))

Actually this also brings another discussion back .. namely whether you can get to another system without jumping ... since 96k LS should only take 20-30 min

heheh thanks carazvan, I think someone answered that question when I originally posted a thread re- what I experienced (targeted pismus 13 and super cruised, but the target up close was absolutely blank! I was scared to come out of super cruise so I carried on). Anyway someone made an interesting point about the software processing limitations or something and that the only way to travel to a system is via a jump. It's so bizarre :D (in terms of this system)
 
Have you guys noticed the discussion about the possibility of microjumps being added to the game, in the latest Dev update thread?

https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=110112&page=16

I really really really hope this feature will not see the light of day, it would make exploration a clickfest...arrive at an unmapped system, do an advanced scan, start hitting the microjump switch and have all bodies surface scanned almost within the time it takes to do the actual scanning. Like selecting items in an Excel spreadsheet, no sense of 'being there' in my opinion.

There are a few good alternatives in the thread offered by players, and it seems mr Brookes is also a bit unhappy with the prospect of microjumps in the game. So, I'd like to ask you, my fellow explorers, to consider the matter carefully, and to voice your opinion in the forums - unless you think that microjumps would be a great idea :D :D

You are mistaken. In the early stage of development FD has decided that if microjumps ever appear in-game it will be possible to use them only to jump to stars and that they will have minimal distance under which it won't be possible. There is nothing to be alarmed about as the idea has been discussed in length in the past.
 
SMALLEST ICY PLANET - WREGOE BM-W B56-8 A 4 - RADIUS OF 440KM

This little snowball also shares the record earth masses of 0.0001. I think FD should increase the length of the number for weights (0.xxxxx). As we're finding with various planets/stars in different categories, there are 'many' with either 0.0001 or 0.0000. A value of 0.0000 is nothing. And a planet can't have no size at all, there wouldn't be a planet there.

Are you guys using any tools for logging and collecting data about the star systems you visit ?

Yeah, our eyeballs and screenshots :)
 
To bad that the screenshots that are beeing created are several mb large and get saved on your C: drive as default.

I've created a shortcut to the screenshot folder on my desktop for quick access, and usually delete all the shots after I've first converted them to .jpg and sent them to this thread. Irfanview is one handy and very lightweight tool for this, available for free at http://www.irfanview.com/. You can convert your screenshots to almost any format just by opening the .bmp file and then selecting a format through the "Save as" function. It's also very easy to make batch conversions in case you want to save disk space without losing the shots.

Yes also using irfanview for myself its a great tool.

Anyway thx for the info.
 
Patau, is there a chance for you to introduce types of white dwarfs during the weekend (in 1.1 white dwarfs can easily be found)? Or perhaps you've deemed them unworthy for some reason? We already have 5 types of carbon stars and white dwarfs are much more common so why not them?

Have you thought about my suggestion as to reorganize the book in order to have subtypes as subtypes, not types, eg. if water world is a type then terraformable water world should be its subtype, not another type (if I understand correctly the way you currently classify them the water world type should be, anyway, called unterraformable water world to avoid confusion). In this way we could also have subtypes of stars, eg. 0 - hypergiants, I - supergiants, II - bright giants, III - giants, IV - subgiants, V - dwarfs (main-sequence), VI - subdwarfs and finally subtypes of types of white dwarfs that I'm not yet certain what are like in-game (they could be omitted in the beginning). Without them, when the most obvious bugs are removed from the game, in every type we have now there won't be records (at least concerning physical parameters of bodies) from main-sequence stars (also not any subgiants and probably not even giants) - do we really want it? Additionally, having them the bugs would be more visible to FDevs. What do you all think?

will look at white dwarfs on sunday, unfortunately I have to work today:(
for the rest maybe another time this would add too many records for the book in its current form
btw terra formable planets are eligible for both non terraformable and terraformable but I don't think many should end up in the non terraformable section as they shouldn't really be near the extremes

Sorry, maybe instead of being entirely sarcastic, I should have mentioned that I use Gyazo (https://gyazo.com/)
Download the client and then it sits pinned to the start bar. Click on that and the pointer changes to a cross to highlight the area you want to shoot. The file is immediately uploaded to the gyazo website and can be linked to in your post
 
new record!
