A curiosity: a molten rocky ice planet as a terraformable water world (I wonder whether or not there are terraformable rocky ice planets that aren't water worlds)

Edit:
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:D, so you don't need to worry about these. I will of course implement a rule if a bug is found.
But my point is it should be a general rule that an evidence should be clear - such unclear descriptions are currently not only in case of C-type but some others: eg. unclear description of at least one type of white dwarfs (DC, IIRC) and at least one type of giants (M-type, IIRC).

Old Record;

ROCKY ICE PLANET WITH THE HIGHEST SURFACE PRESSURE
B133 SECTOR GW-W D1-52 5 WITH 2,410,902.50 ATMOSPHERES

New Record;


ROCKY ICE PLANET WITH THE HIGHEST SURFACE PRESSURE
EIFORKS BG-M D8-8 4 WITH 2,661,651.00 ATMOSPHERES - CMDR CALBARON


While you are at it - since no one has claimed it yet, put me down for;


FURTHEST ROCKY ICE PLANET FROM SAGITTARIUS A*

EIFORKS BG-M D8-8 4 WITH 20,128.26LY - CMDR CALBARON

A question to those of you who know their astronomy: zooming in on the Eagle Nebula in galaxy map shows a very strange-shaped cluster of stars - like this:

It's like someone put a ruler on the map and drew a few lines :) So, is this a bug / random glitch in the galaxy forge or an actual formation caused by some cosmic joke in the real world (surely not)?

I believe its like annotation lines on a diagram, those stars actual positions are at the orange circle at the base of each stem, but the stems are necessary to distingusih the individual stars because they are packed so closely together. I could be mistaken though.

there are quite a few of such lines inside the galaxy map. Most of them point directly at earth. The reason is that a high magnification telescope actually pointed that direction and did a detailed survey. And all them lined up stars are real stars that are not generated by FD. Keep in mind that determining distance from earth is VERY hard. so the stars along the lines might be spaced much closer than they would be in reality. The reason is to determine exact distance you need measurements from different angles. but earth rotates only very little around the sun in term of cosmic distances....

anyway... trav eler learned. and will not use the uniquely identifying system map summary name anymore :)

YOUNGEST C-TYPE STAR
HD 215484 AT 4,618 MILLION YEARS CMDR TRAV ELER

a real baby compared to its second youngest sybling by 5billion years ;-)

as for my previous snafu with carbon star label. I apologize.

Here's a plea to not become more german than this very german typing these words. And ask for clarification if there is doubt. Rules are rules it is true. But common sense is common sense. And coureously asking is courteously asking.
I think most of us are here for the fun and amazingness and to see what is out there and what have others found. "Rules über alles" would kill the fun for me. Not worried really, as the book keeper team seems to be on a similar page.
So this is more to hold their back :)

And I think it is high time for this:

Thanks so much to the book keepers. Having this book maintained and looking for records has added so much more enjoyment to exploration for me. It really broke the tedium that slowly crept in!
And thanks to all the other record submitters. I have started to see some of your names in first discovered tags. And it's an especially warm and fuzzy feelings inducing sight :)
 
a new unlikely coldest record:

COLDEST CLASS II GAS GIANT
HIP 118066 WITH A TEMPERATURE OF 151K CMDR TRAV ELER

gasII_coldest2.pnggasII_coldest1.png


unlikely because imo gravitational forces from it's close and fast orbit around the black hole would generate enough friction to heat it up above other class II gas giants. but then again i am not a astrophysicist ;-)

Really? Now this is completely mind-boggling! I may be asking for much, but could you point me to some source where this is discussed in more detail? You certainly got me itching for more information :)

I'd like to second this. Thank you so much bookkeepers!

your welcome! :D big thank you to you guys for providing all these records! we wouldn't be able to do this without you!
btw I think those stars are called the pillars of creation, read about it on the forum somewhere

sure would be the right nebula :)

pillars of creation is one of the most famous Hubble image ever and is of the eagle nebula indeed.

was a couple of dev quotes in a thread about some whacky looking region somebody found. was loads of stars in a line/cone/cylinder of a certain types and density in a bed of other stars wth different density .... is at least a month or so old I'd say.... not sure I could find it again....

Edit : OMG, sometimes I scare meself with my google-fu ;-)

I know of atleast 12 types of whitedwarfs
 
Thanks for the information guys! I knew about the Pillars but had no clue about the star formations there...and that star tube is supercool even if it's not proven 100% to exist in that form.

By the way, I just bought an Asp Explorer, forgot to buy a surface scanner and made a discovery (pun intended): it is possible to scan a body with just sensors and get credited for a surface scan - and complete data of the body will appear in the system map once you've scanned it. Technically speaking, you don't need to buy a surface scanner in the current version of the game (1.105). Of course that felt so wrong that I had to return and buy a surface scanner :D

A system scanner has always been enough. though previously it didn't give you all the detailed info I thought. But migth be mistaken about that. But scans pay a lot less I think. Was it half the payout?
