Edited by: Kibbler on 24/10/2007 02:13:33 Edited by: Kibbler on 24/10/2007 02:13:18 As titled. Can exploration/anomalies spawn from the sun, or purely only planets?
It doesn't really say anywhere, and is impossible to check generally due to the fact there are so many inside planets. Dev response would be great, but I suppose if a player has credible sources, rather than "yes they do", that will be fine too. :P Important information to know when dropping probes to try and get full coverage.
Thanks

Exploration sites only spawn within 4AU of a planet. If you're willing to trade a little range, you might drop a probe at the sun to catch the inner planets in one probe instead of launch, scan, destroy probe at each inner-system planet. You'll sacrifice a bit of range, but perhaps save a little time.
There used to be a great exploration guide stickied in this section, but it seems to have come unstuck. _______________________________

Wonderful. Thanks for the reply. :D I just needed this info to take everything properly into consideration when dropping my probes.

I am going to ressurect this thread and ask the same question. Why? Because a GM responded to a petition on a site I have been failing to find (60+ quests with 4/4/4 skills so far!) and said that scan sites can also spawn within 4AU of stations.
So are we all absolutely sure that sites can only spawn within 4AU of planets still? |

Stations are always at planets or moons so really the same thing.

Stations are in moons -> Moons are in planets -> exploration is 4AU from planets.
Anyway, i found exploration sites on 0.0 at gates without planets in 20AU's around then, exploration is on 4AU planets + 4AU gates i think Your signature exceeds the maximum allowed dimensions of 400x120 pixels and filesize of 24000 bytes -Kreul Intentions ([email protected]) |

Some moons are over 1AU from the planet they orbit. So that would mean a site spawning from that moon could be over 5AU from the planet.
You have answered my question regarding the celestial object, though. If they can spawn from gates then they can probably spawn on any static celestial object at all! |

Hate to say this but I have had a Grav site fall 2AU from a gate. Makes me wonder if the rotation of the planets can move into and out of the 4Au distance

See, now THIS scares me. I haven't ever ran into an unfindable plex, but without knowing for sure (by dev response or player proof) that sites ONLY spawn 4AU from planets, I might just drop probes around lone gates just to be sure.
The Moon-1AU-from-Planet thing freaks me out a bit too, as I have gotten a cosmic sig 3.8au from a planet once. This could theoretically mean some sites are unprobable from the planet...
Hopefully we can get a dev response happenning here as to if it is planets ONLY, or if that includes other static areas (like gates and moons) as well.
