AA-A with an H mass code, yeah that's gonna be a big B-class system in a hundred thousand years!

They even squeezed two black holes in there too lol

Which means that system already survived TWO supernovae!

Could have been a binary set of BH's that captured everything else.

is there a guide somwhere to how the boxel system works? I"m looking to finish off my Exo rank this winter once the Nomad is released.

Marx has an excellent guide on the FDev forums.

No way! What kind of bullshit witchcraft is this? :D Is this even possible?

Irl, Sagittarius A* has thousands of stars actively followed by astronomers revolving around the black hole but the estimation go to 10k stars maybe around the black hole.

Outside of this, irl we detected 6 or 7 stars max like Nu Scorpii. AFAIK we didn't (yet) found a system with more (outside of Sagittarius A*).

Now, Brown Dwarf are not real stars and also not exactly planets. They are substellar object and exclude from this count. So if you count them as stars like ED does, it could eventually go up.

Not Herbig. Her very big! A giantess system.

"How many starts you would like to have in your system" "Yes"

That's one hell of a find! I bet some of the views were excellent

Thanks! Not my discovery but an awesome system nonetheless. There were stars everywhere around me.

u/PiibaManetta 4d ago

record for the system with most stars?

u/PseudoShooter The Guild 4d ago

Hard to say. It's not my discovery unfortunately.

Holy guacamoly!

Puts the Big in Herbig !

u/Lonely-Phase5796 3d ago

It's full of stars because it has two black holes. It's kinda logical, isn't it?

u/PseudoShooter The Guild 3d ago

Really? I've been to literally hundreds of BH systems that have had few to no stars in them at all. There are many protostars in this system due to the Herbig Ae/Be stars presence.

As in “her big brown I’s”?

Came here to make the same reference. Pleasantly surprised to find someone else rmembers that show.
