"...long time passing..."
Sorry, had to show my decrepitude and ancient taste in music.
Anyway, I've just finished the weirdest round of exploration I've yet done. I wanted to test whether UC was working for me (yes it is) and to try and do something to possibly defeat Black Adder (it did not) based on others' posted successes. So, well within the bubble, I took a drunkard's walk to systems near (within 40ly) Alcor, honking and planning to do some FSS and get a little carto bank.
19 systems later I had yet to encounter a single system with any planets. All solo, binary or multiple stars. No brown dwarfs, either. These were all systems I had not yet visited, so they were unknown in terms of contents.
In my experience that is quite unusual, particularly since the stars I visited were all in the main sequence A through K, plus a couple of M, the last of which, system # 20, finally had planets. Those classifications have always seemed to me to be the most likely to have planets. When searching for icy rings to mine, they almost never fail.
95% of my admittedly small sample sans planetary offspring -- does that sound unusual to the long-term explorers reading this? I surely hope it does not hold true out in the black as well, or exploration and Rocket Tea mining are gonna screw the pooch mightily.
