Yes. It's money based. All ranks are except for ship combat.

I'm going to try an experiment. I have to go shopping and pick up the turkey for Thanksgiving and all, but I'll do it when I get back. I just stumbled into a system with three moons that have a decent array of biologics. Here it is:
I'm going to gather at least a couple from each moon and then go back to the carrier and sell it off and see what I get and post the results. It may be a while, but I'll get it done today.

I looked at the Organic Scans tab in my EDDiscovery program, and it lists all my scans along with their prices.
I think that means that the prices are being determined at scan time, else how could they be listed there? Unless they are estimated...which would not make a lot of sense.
It'll be interesting to see by how much payouts go up.
I think I'll hold onto the (little) stuff I have and see. Or perhaps stop gardening now and restart after.

Not sure what it will be, but I would have thought the old tariff will only apply to data that's already been sold - ie it won't be retrospectively increased. Data that has not been sold, whenever it was discovered will get the new tariff. Whatever though, we'll see...

I guessed as much. But what would happen if you turned that in two or three weeks (or even months) later?
Which would be the case if you would not have your carrier waiting a few lightyears away.
OK, it's exactly as I thought: the price is already set the instant the system is formed.
Here is that sheet up above with the price I was paid off for everything I found. It is EXACTLY what the estimate said it would be:
And here's the proof screen shot from where I sold it off so you can match it up yourselves:
So holding on to what you have to sell it later isn't going to make one bit of difference because the value was determined the instant you entered the system and the system was generated.
So it's exactly the same as the rare magic items were in Diablo III - The item is determined the instant it dropped. The whole "identify it" thing is like selling it at Genomics, it's just a little dog and pony show that has no real meaning other than window dressing for the game.
That's the only way it can be done when you get right down to it. Otherwise, people could hold on to things indefinitely and get more than they should have gotten at some point.

Sounds familiar. If you are talking about these silvery disks, containing music or data...
He says he doesn't know when the price is set.
But I think Marvin is right.Had this exact conversation somewhere else today. I'd be surprised if price was set at time of scan - but it is set at time of scan for exploration, so who knows? We'll find out in a few days I guess

That is a valid point I did not think about.
To be honest, I thought of a market-like system. Quite a lot of this game is based on the rules of capitalism, after all...
Only if they don’t increase the rank requirements.
Found some different looking biologics, it's called Fumorla Aquatis, three bio-signs here with geysers. I'm going to look for crystals, I need arsenic.
Fonticulua Campestris, try saying that three times fast.
Bacteria.

crashing mission ATM . can't seem to get out of it either, horizons don't see mission. And oddy does want to let me completed it, not even a partially completed, Screen given you the options of payment is completely blank. no options to selected.
I've no clue how to help with that one except maybe try a validate files from the launcher? If that's the one you use, natch.
You can hand in an Ody mission from your ship or a concourse terminal so perhaps try the other option to the one you're trying.
I'm clutching at straws, sorry
I found some exobiology species attached to ice fumaroles a while back as well (forget which species it was now.) I love those icy bodies though - always fun to drive on in the SRV.
Found a system with 4 water worlds... gosh.
