Updating Reality

I can't find anywhere in the forum to suggest updates to the Elite galaxy. Frontier have done a magnificent and much appreciated job of making the known parts of the galaxy reflect, in every known detail, what's being discovered by the astronomers, so I'm starting a thread here (I hope I didn't miss something similar elsewhere in the forum).

I'll kick off by suggesting a minor update to the Ross 128 system. There is a planet there already (!) in ED, but it's way too small. The recent discovery "Ross 128b" is ~1.4 Earth masses, and is in the habitable zone, so could now be in ED as an Earth-type planet (at a guess). See: http://www.openexoplanetcatalogue.com/planet/Ross 128 b/

Come to think of it , what will FD do in the case of new exoplanet discoveries that conflict with what's in the ED universe at present?
 
Usually they update the galaxy accordingly to new discoveries within the next update. Those changes are usually communicated through the newsletter and the changelog of the update.
I´d just post it under the Suggestions & Feature Request section of the forum (you´ll find it under Dangerous Discussions).
