Greetings Commanders,
Explorers venture into the depths of space and discover beautiful systems that most will never see. We would like to offer you the opportunity to share your best discoveries and be immortalised in Elite Dangerous.
Our plan is to place approximately 50 additional Tourist Beacons throughout the Milky Way. Therefore, we’re running this competition in-line with this week’s exploration-based Community Goal.
To enter, reply to this post with an in-system (not System Map) screenshot of the most interesting unpopulated systems containing an Earth-like world you can find! When the Community Goal ends on 30 September, we’ll choose our favourites and add Tourist Beacons to those locations. Each beacon will feature the entrant’s Commander name in its text!
To qualify, submissions must:
Note: Only one submission will be accepted per player. If you submit multiple screenshots, the last one will be considered your only valid entry. Entries after 14:00 BST on 30 September will not be counted. We reserve the right not to include any Commander names in Tourist Beacon text that we deem inappropriate.
- Feature a screenshot of an unpopulated system in Elite Dangerous which contains an Earth-like world
- Include your in-game Commander name
- Include the name of the screenshotted system
While the system must contain an Earth-like world, it doesn’t have to be the focus of the image. Try to show off as many features as you can which make the system interesting and a strong potential tourist destination!
All winning entries will receive 5,000 ARX in addition to the Tourist Beacon, so get exploring!
Good luck

BeautifulFound by myself just 4351.23 ly from Sol is the Synuefou BW-M d7-3 system. It contains a beautiful ELW with golden low density rings illuminated by a Class F star. The system is shared with 7 Gas Giants, 1 Icy Body and 21 Moons, two of which (9b & 9c) are close orbit landables.
7a through 7d hold a thin carbon dioxide atmosphere hosting life to Frutexa Acus, Bacterium Aurasus, Concha Labiata and Tussock Ignis whilst 9a through 9c host geological sites such as Major Rocky Magma Geysers, Major Silicate Vapor Geysers, Metallic Magma and Vents.
I thank you for your consideration and I hope you enjoy my discovery, I am excited to have it shared with the eager vacationers.
All the best,
CMDR Arlo MacDonald

Hi @Bruce G , can you please clarify the following points?Note: Only one submission will be accepted per player. If you submit multiple screenshots, the last one will be considered your only valid entry. Entries after 14:00 BST on 30 September will not be counted.

You may not be aware there is a search function on the forums - top right. It can even filter down to just this thread.am I required to read the entire thread here to see if the system I want to submit is already submitted to have a chance
Trappist 1 is obviously going to make it ! I can't even fathom how I didn't submit this one ! I wanted my name on that system ever since I heard of it's existence, and All I could manage was a first lanfall on one of the bodies. Well done with what I belive is one of the most significant submissions of the lot despite being totally "unspectacular" imagewise.System: TRAPPIST-1
Notes: In the year 2017 system TRAPPIST-1 was discovered to host up to seven habitable planets. This was the largest number of Goldilocks Zone -bodies in a system found so far. This new "Seven Wonders" -discovery sparked interest in exoplanets and space exploration.

Maybe try uploading it to something like Imgur. Then just post the link and it should come up in the post. They also give you a code to post if all else fails.CMDR Electron1984 - Here's my newly discovered ELW. Hope you like it!
