Universal Cartographics Galactic Record Breakers

Kalpa · Feb 21, 2015

I was under impression the categories we have are based on the classifications in-game.

I have not seen any carbon stars yet in the game, so I don't know whether the in-game description differs for C, C-N, C-H etc. Can anyone confirm if there is some difference to the description text ("Carbon stars are blah blah blah") for the different kinds? Or: is our only chance to prove carbon star is of class X to go into galaxy view, and take screenshot of the system info panel?

That I could guess, as well - what I meant: shouldn't the record be not accepted unless it's for a correct category (the full name of the record from the rules is wrong in this case) or at least it should be mentioned it was placed in the correct one? Additionally, we have 5 types of carbon stars in the book so the evidence should be clear for which type it is, too (currently it isn't in this case).

The type of carbon star is the in stars written description on the system map, I generally also look these on my gal map to check.

Ender said:
What about the rule I suggested? Will it be added to the rules?

yes, I will add at some point this weekend

Ender said:
Look at it's composition - it's just a molten icy moon

yeah and it has life! , would be nice if we could tell what kind of life and how long a planet has had life on it!

We don't know, yet, we have in the book all types of carbon stars that are in-game (or will be) so if a description doesn't state what type of carbon star it is then a screenshot from the Galaxy Map should be needed.

As in case of white dwarfs for some types it isn't - look at the TravElEr's picture.

Thanks

added very nice find, no Earth like world or terraformed world has ever been posted with more then 1 moon maybe one day this will take the record!

I soiled my pants... right after arrival into system a few moments of terror (I arrived through the bluer star), but luckily I was not dropped out of supercruise and managed to hobble away from the intense heat, turn around, to see THIS. I thought: Hmm, that gas giant must surely be hot hugging that herbig so close, with an extremely blue T Tauri next to it.

The gas giant also rotates around the herbig once every few minutes... maybe I should make a video of it.

Well, on to the record:

ADDED GREAT FINDS!

that class V gas giant destroyed the last record!
you must be cooking alive in that system!
check this thread from a few days ago for a gas giant half in a star!:

Note how the gas giant is lacking a texture in both cases. I think the game tries to generate a texture for 8000K+ gas giant, but there are none defined, and it fails.

so far all descriptions for the 3 carbon type stars are all correct, although I will keep checking for mistakes but it seems that only system description is needed

Yes, I know but my concern is that we don't know whether or not those are all types of C stars (we have also MS and S-type that is recognized by the game as a carbon star - see filters) so we cannot be sure whether or not their descriptions will be unambiguous in the future. In the interest of avoiding future problems we should provide the galaxy map picture in case of C-type (as it should be in any other case where description doesn't state explicitly what the type of star is)

I get your point, but its quite hard to have rules for individual records, in the case of carbon type stars I check them all. I have a thing for carbon stars since the first one was posted by zxen

, so you don't need to worry about these. I will of course implement a rule if a bug is found.
