ExoBio Strategies, etc

I've been poking around some threads here and realize that I know so little about this game. Been at it for maybe 4 months, 2 months in Exo, just for context. Solo.

I have grinded my way to Geneticist, Elite is my goal. Chased down every single bacteria on a planet 8 minutes away (RL) just because it was there. $4.5 billion in the can.

Current ship is AspX with engineered FSD and the Guardian FSD booster. Range is 48.5 or so. Keeping shields. Should I bump to a Dolphin or something with more range?

How can I be more effective at this? I see some talk of a mod that will help identify high-value candidates...

Your ships is fine. Explo/exo payouts are proportional to the number of jumps to (preferably) unexplored systems, not to distance covered.

Spansh will give you already discovered species. Thus, technically speaking, you don't discover anything this way. And you don't get the first discovery bonus. You just mindlessly grind your exo rank.

If it's your cup of tea: cool. Just don't whine on forums afterwards that ED is a mindless grind.

If it's not your cup of tea: just hit the black, discover things, don't bother with scanning species cheaper than 6 or 8 or 10 MCr, and have fun. You'll get to your rank eventually.
