Your galaxy structure insights

Being on the exploration voyage myself, I keep on thinking which way to go and how to plot my navigation course

I started to notice there are certain commonalities

Based on my experience systems in the edge (outer or between arms) areas usually tend to have greater chances to have earth like worlds

Bottom part of the outer disk has more of the colder stars, while above the "equator" part has more blue, white and yellow stars - central densely populated areas have earth like worlds on rarer occasions. Mayybe, just maybe it has to do with the % distribution of such worlds per unit of space. As such, despite a high number of starts in the same volume of space, chances finding an earth world is lower?

Has anyone noticed any patters for more earth worlds common areas? What would be the commonalities between such areas?

to be fair - I am going through closer arm. My total now is about 12K systems

I would be still inclined to argue - these concepts should be common for each region of the galaxy.

Am I wrong? How different are say area in the arms to the far side of the disk to bubble?

Check out the exploration sub-forums, there's a fair few real life astronomers that may be able to shed light on it.
But basically from what I've read it's as realistic as science currently predicts within probably about 75%. (Massive guess but I don't hear much being complained about as far as the prod-generation goes).

have you actually noted down the amounts? without this statistics can be very inaccurate and rely too much on "guesses" or feelings.

From my own small experiences, on my current exploration trip, the most interesting systems that have either Hi Metal Content, Water and Earth-like worlds, are those that have K stars as the main star. Sure, many are M too, but a lot of systems that have an M star as the main star, have a lot of ice worlds, and not really worth scanning.

Indeed, based on my own experience K are most common for superearths. I saw those orbiting G and A stars as well, but on far less common occasions though

G and K are usually best for earthlikes, M not so much but they do happen, the exploration forums have lots on this subject, and FD has gotten it mostly spot on with what we think the way it all works in reality. Of course, it's all guesswork at this point as we can't really confirm or deny it in reality...so...
