Oh ok, does he have omniscience over things like that?

1. first to discover (FtD)New Star Cluster

just wanna make it clear, you mean star cluster like ours, right? not star pockets.

How about you make a separate bet for star pockets?  

Also, I suggest photographic evidence be supplied to this thread. Feel free to censor out the coordinates of things you want to keep private though (e.g. star clusters)

Indeed. A pic is needed, and the time stamp on the forum decides who got it first. Edited posts will not count.

We gotta make rules to avoid disputes.

I feel they are synonymous, how do you see a difference?

Sir Emi reported when Dadds and I were the first to discover the 2 'ilegal' mods.  If he does so here, his word is binding.  Otherwise a screenshot of proof will be needed.

5.  the first to bring home an unknown mineral or gas

Just to clarify... Do you mean ACTUALLY bring the material back to Sol? Or just find it?....
Bringing it all the way back would mean taking a trip all the way out just to come all the way back to MAYBE be the first one... If we are bringing it all the way back then I would like to retract my entrance into that category.

But if we are just surveying or collecting the new material then count me in!

There is a difference. From what I understand, there will be four big groups of stars like ours, and smaller pockets of stars (or hermit stars).

I was thinking that because we will not know the value of the unknown, we need to bring it back.  But, I can see how the discovery can be enough to trigger the reward (the first unknown to be discovered, and not each)

I think the hermit stars will be individual, isolated stars with abnormal features and events. I was expecting a category for them as well

[sargas]

we can do that, add 'rogue' systems (or planets) to the pool.  SirEmi said they will be there as well as the monsters.

I wager another 10 for category 6...

There is a difference. From what I understand, there will be four big groups of stars like ours¹, and smaller pockets of stars (or hermit stars).

¹I don't remember that there would be only 4.  I only remember that there are other stellar groupings out there.  There are more clusters available (if 4 found on ring 25, then 25+ may be found on ring 50 etc. etc. etc. ad infinitum...)

and what do you consider a smaller pocket?  How many systems?

for now, let us say that a cluster must contain more than 1 sector...

one sector (or less) becomes a rogue sector (and qualifies for category 6).

[Rostin]

I believe the hermit stars will be isolated and will only be single stars. Clusters/pockets will be very noticeable in size and on the thread for the project itself Emi said there would probably be 4 at first.

If Raphael goes in for the new category I will as well. I don't really care...

[raphael]

Yes, we are in for category 6.  

And about the new mineral/gas, for simplicity's sake, I'd like it to be just who finds it first. No need to bring it back.

[Rostin]

There are also the random wormholes. Are we not counting those as a category?

[lisunken]

Lol there will be a long list. Only 18 hrs left. Check it twice.

[raphael]

more than two days extension.. 

[lisunken]

I know, that blow.    I was setup for the rush out of the fourth ring.
