Unusual high number of terraforming candidates?

Fellow explorers,

the hunt for places to live in the void led me to sector BLO EURL, where I visited 2000 systems within two months. This area has a quite high density of green and blue systems (aka F to O stars), which I mainly have checked. The results are quiet nice, unfortunately I didn't count thoroughly except for the earthlike planets. But this is what I found:


All in all my exploration data was worth 92 million credits.

Now I wonder: are these numbers unusual high or did you find similar amounts?

Best regards,
Crassus

It looks like average, especially if you focused on scanning a single sector instead of zip-zaping around generated routes.
Welcome back.
 
Thanks for your welcomes! Entering inhabited, pirated space was quite scary with such a load of data ...
And if this is average, this is quite a nice average ... I'm playing about 10 to 15 hours a week, so two months means not a lot of playing in numbers of hours.
 
I sometimes notice a trend in the systems I visit. In any given area I'm in the systems seems to have more or less the same things in them. I've had long streaks of completely useless systems. For example lone stars, nothing but asteroid fields, loads of uninteresting jovians or any combination thereof. But sometimes I find areas where almost every single system has at least 2-3 TC's and often even a water world or two. Dunno why that is. Or maybe I'm just crazy
 
I think the proportion I've seen for ELW/Ammonia is about 1% of systems.

I've stopped keeping track but my gut instinct is that terraforming candidates are much more common and water worlds (maybe 2:1).

There are so many systems and our routes can be that different that my polite guessing is that we don't have enough data to make statistics. For now it SEEMS pretty random from a single explorer point of wiev.
I'm keeping track of everything i find interesting, and building quite a big spread-sheet. Now, if someone would be that crazy to collect this data from several players...
First thing to do would be set parameters like: System Name/Main star(s)/Planet Number/INTERESTING Planet type/Distance from Sol -> picture for stats.
But I'm not doing this, volunteers accepted, i'm ready to submit all my data.
