System with Most Stars

[nikola_703]

Hey fellow explorers. I could not find any thread on this, so here is my question - what is the highest number of stars you found in a system? I saw some with six or seven, but just curious how high this gets. Names and photos are welcome too :)

[Ildryn]

Highest i ever saw was 8.
It was on my way out of the galaxy.

42

I think it was 12 or 16.... lots of proto-stars (TTauri) in all colors. It was a HIP system near Stem and Pipe nebulae / dark regions.

It was on my first ever exploration tour back in 2014 or early 2015

Any systems with multiple neutron stars?

Did you know, you can fuel your ship as you jump countdown timer and arrive with a full tank.

DId you also know, you can DOUBLE neutron star boost, by sitting in the stream charging as you jump, thus getting 600% via TWO boosted jumps from ONE neutron star :)

I've seen a couple on my travels.

But the NS were several hundred LS apart....

According to the galactic record breakers, its 4 Cygni with 25 stellar bodies.

I believe eight is the maximum number of "stellar" objects in a solar system. Systems with more "stars" have those stars orbiting in planetary orbits, so they're "planets" from the game's perspective.

"Planetary" stars are the only stars that can have rings aorund them.

Are you counting brown dwarfs? I have found a lot of those that seem to think they are planets.

If you count them probably 7, I think, is the most I have seen.

Not counting them I think 5 is the most for me.

Yeah it depends on what we call stars. If we go by official definitions then we can't count in brown dwarfs etc. since stars are objects who have a fusion from hydrogen into helium in their core, which objects like brown dwarfs don't have as they are limited to the fusion of deuterium. Also we could probably count out stellar remnants like white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes as well.

That leaves us with main sequence stars and special case stars like carbon stars which still have their hydrogen fusion.

The following system I found a while ago are almost all T Tauri stars I think so again it's the question what we count as stars and what not because they are pre-main-sequence and don't have any hydrogen fusion yet. Actually I can't remember, the one on the left might be an A type star and the others main sequence but I doubt it from the screenshot.

If we count everything larger than gas giants or with at least some kind of fusion in their cores or objects which were once stars then there are tons of systems with a large amount of brown dwarfs in them. That system 4 Cygni with 25 stellar bodies which was mentioned as official record probably had mostly brown dwarfs and tauri stars I would assume.

The highest numbers of real main sequence stars I've seeon (on a screenshot, not myself ingame) was I think 12 or 13.

Is that a ringed Neutron/White Dwarf?

Just checked out the system ingame. Yes it's a ringed neutron star. The other stars are M and K sequence stars all orbiting an O type star.

Well bugger me sideways, I've not seen one of them before... If it's not too far out I might go check it out later :)

I think the system is about 1,500 LY from Sol.

Does look cool for sure

[DunningKruger]

sol system we are all super stars there :)
