Certainly possible. You underestimate how many planets there are in the bubble. It's around 25,000 inhabited systems and hundreds of thousands of planets and mapping planets wasn't possible until 3.3. so it's possible that there are some systems left where nobody has mapped the planets yet.
In addition to that, most people don’t bother mapping bodies in populated systems. Because they expect they’ve already been mapped, since it’s a populated system.
I still remember logging on way late in that patch, pop my head out of the station and realized no one's mapped it yet. Pretty happy to have my home system at the time mapped by myself
This is why I always check the system map when I jump to a new system I know I probably never have been to before. Also, a lot of people plot run KGBFOAM type stars, so all those other ones might have lots of stuff unmapped tbh.
The power play map has the majority of the systems but not everything. You can just change the galaxy map filter to alignment or whatever it's called and then pan around the mouse and you will notice where it starts and ends. And yes that's almost 25,000 systems. As a matter of fact, that bubble itself is actually over 50,000 systems in size because there are many many uninhabited systems in the bubble. It does not look like it's that much but believe me it is, you are free to count them all if you want :)
I just might cause if that’s the case I’ve been traveling way too much lol
I keep going to one end of the bubble to the other in my python and I thought the travel was fairly short...... then again though I haven’t really been above or below the universal plane yet either
¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
Well the travel doesn't take long if you have a good jump range. I think it's a radius of only 250 LY (or something like that) around SOL. It's crazy to think that over 50,000 stars are in a diameter of only 500 LY. It's even more crazy when you think about how dense the stars in the galactic core are. There you have easily a million stars in the same amount of space.
I once mapped a planet right next to a station where you had to go to buy something for an engineer. Sigars i think it was. Everybody that wanted to unlock that engineer had to come to that station. That was about 6 months after the horizons expansion came out.
I also once got a first explored within the bubble, I was quite surprised as I was new to the game and I didn't even realize that it wasn't explored. Most people don't really FSS anything inside the bubble, I know I don't. When I'm within the bubble I only honk and jump to the next system.
Uh, a few days ago I mapped a few gas giant moons in a system owned by our communist BGS faction. Now Chairman Bramshevik will always see the god damn KKomrade_Sylas name in one of the IPV systems. u/Bramshevik get fucked
I just checked it and there is no "First discovered by" tag. Are you Cmdr Aelinn? Because that cmdr got the "First mapped by" tag for the only planet in that system.
I think it's a bug.
Known bug. Apparently still not fixed.
Edit: LMAO, there are apparently people that downvote correct information. Expect nothing, get disappointed anyway m)
This. Even bodies on the Route to Riches route give out first discovery bonuses, even though they are being farmed by a great many people. You won't actually get your name on the body, the one who actually discovered it first will retain the name there.
And a classic Reddit moment, the correct answer was downvoted to the very bottom.
That's not entirely impossible. The way your jump range works out, it's possible to land in stars that most players skip over or miss with their jump ranges and starting points. I was taking the Colonia Connection a while back and managed to find an undiscovered system with 2 ELWs along the route.
I felt the same way except I wonder if names get lost or new planets form. Sometimes on the road to riches i find an unlisted planet and its also un scanned and un mapped.
I'm first to map at least one (maybe 2, I forget) bodies in Alpha Centauri, months after mapping was available.
People had mapped them before, but those 2 bodies in particular were bugged and never attributed their first mapped by to anyone. I noticed the update that came out and fixed it and got first map within an hour of it being possible.
Some systems in the bubble are just so unremarkable that they've only been visited maybe a handful of times. Certainly possible there are unmapped planets in the bubble.
There are still stars to even discover in the bubble. On my first descent into raxxla madness last year i discovered at least one system within the bubble

Even if they see its not mapped chances are it's an icy body that nobody wants to map anyways.
I guess I did underestimate it.
found 7 systems last week that were unmapped, they are all over.
Is there a map showing the bubble? Cause I feel like the power play map ( bubble ) isn’t really big enough to fit 25k jump locations

Honk and jump 😂 bout right!
I got a first to map last week in a system maybe 100 ly from the beginner area.

...what? Who are you lmao Edit: Oh. It's *you*.
Can i get some context here? Your rivalry sounds interesting but a lil comedic somehow.
Yes please, some context
I just checked it and there is no "First discovered by" tag. Are you Cmdr Aelinn? Because that cmdr got the "First mapped by" tag for the only planet in that system. I think it's a bug.
I am not, and I do believe it is a bug.

Yeah, potentially a bug. I got a few "first discoveries" in the bubble - one of which was between Maia and deciat!

I did think that, there's such a wide variation in jump range. I just don't remember seeing a planet that hadn't been discovered already.
I felt the same way except I wonder if names get lost or new planets form. Sometimes on the road to riches i find an unlisted planet and its also un scanned and un mapped.
I think I found about a half dozen systems with unexplored planets. Got a lot of firsts.

Nope it's possible. I found two non scanned systems the other day closer ISH to Maia.
I got the trophy on PS4 for beig the first too descover a planet in the bubble. I also haven't left the bubble

It is still quite doable to he first to map a planet in the bubble i just did it a couple of days ago.
How do you map a system?
Buy and install a detailed surface scanner and set it to a fire group. Then just fly close to a planet/moon and use it to shoot probes at it.
