thanks unfortunately I didn't take a hi res shot but I'm still in the area so will take an other oneThanks! That screenshot with your ship on the station....priceless!
we are excepting records as normal these records were checked on galmap and are not the correct star type the system map description was wrong. You just have to make sure it is actually an F class super giant star by checking the galmap info and not just the system description. same with A class super giants, also hottest M star was reset as the record was mistakenly from a K class star.A question about the current state of the book and removed records from problem categories: have you contacted the holders of those records yet? I mean, have all the removed records been checked as false alarms? I'm just curious whether it's ok to post new records in, for example, the F class stars category now.
I agree that it hasn't been the goal of the project and I agree that we have already played a big role in fixing some of similar issues but we have anyway failed at least in the recently discovered cases and I bet in many more to discover - I still say "we have failed" because it's in our interest (as you could see from the current state of the book and from the fact how difficult it is to restore wrong entries) to have those bugs (known and yet unknown ones) removed as soon as possible. Nice thing is we almost don't have to concentrate on this additional goal at all in case of these bugs if we add just one picture of the Galactic Map to the evidence of stellar records per system - is this really that much or in some other way you think it's detrimental to the project? If we did it from the beginning it's quite possible that these bugs (and probably many more) would have been discovered in Gamma and having them corrected would have certainly been beneficial to this project. Of course we couldn't know from the beginning that such a rule would be beneficial but I would hope we could learn from our mistakes.no I don't think we've been failing as a group as it was never the goal of the project or its contributors so we've never concentrated on it, I like to think the group has actually already played a big role in fixing some of these issues already.
Many perhaps are at extremes but many more are from subtypes that are just rare yet they cast shadow on the rest of them, eg. supergiants - I have been hoping that there will be time when we have different categories of subtypes in the book. In a similar way as M-type cannot compete in its temperature with B-type, M-type dwarf (even more in case of subdwarf) cannot compete in its size with M-type supergiant (and the other way aroundas a tool for finding other bugs it is likely to be too late to be of any real use as many of the records are now at the extremes of each category so only a limited sample of stars will actually be posted
Don't do anything for the sake of me, please - if you really think what I propose would hurt the project and its community then doing it for me will be a grave mistake. All I ask is you to think it through and I will respect your decision - I am aware I might be wrong in anything I'm sure I'm righthowever in the interest of keeping our longest serving record hunter I can include this rule, as a son of Freeport I must say I really don't like these rules you speak of![]()
joking aside if you are really serious about hunting these bugs down then I urge you to start a dedicated project so every type of star can be checked
this will be a far quicker and efficient method. I will gladly help and I'm sure many regular posters will also happily contribute, looks like Apocryphic has already started![]()
ADDED TO THE BOOK
Dunno if they are going to make a difference between A-type stars and Giant A-type stars.
So either this is a record breaking big A-type star or a very small Super Giant A-type star.
LARGEST A-TYPE STAR
GRANAO CQ-Y F1001 WITH A SOLAR RADIUS OF 52.6857 cmdr MAGNUS ROTTCODD
HEAVIEST A-TYPE STAR
GRANAO CQ-Y F1001 AT 9.0469 SOLAR MASSES cmdr MAGNUS ROTTCODD
As for youngest and hottest.. *shakes angry fist at Lord Zapan*![]()
Unfortunatly, this is a class B supergiant.
Check the Galaxy Map and you'll see.
Galmap must be check (and a screenshot included) for giants/supergiants stars because some categories are bugged.
While I'm here :
HOTTEST NEUTRON STAR
2MASS J18192650-1632223 B WITH A TEMPERATURE OF 9,929,475.00 K

Meh, but you guys are sure it is not the other way around? That the galactic map is the one that is bugged, because the stats are pretty close a typ A star.
