Help me out here, how exactly does the first discovered system work?

There are some that have been bugged for a while. If they are 20ly from a station then they were probably discovered a while ago but the "discovered by" labels aren't appearing.

When you sold the data was there a pop up congratulating you on first discovery?

Nope. Not that I noticed anyway and I'm sure they'd make it obvious. Could these 'unexplored' bodies I'm finding in the core inhabited area be like stuff that was discovered by players, but they were banned and their names were removed but the bodies were never reopened for a first explored?

This is honestly the only explanation I myself could come up with for what I am experiencing, unless my account is just bugged or something. Either way, needs to be looked at, stupid waste, either open them back up to be explored again by someone or just mark them all "Frontier Development", so that I can scan a system and move on.

Looks likely. When you sell the data and are first to discover there is a clear pop up letting you know you are first to discover. Systems in the occupied bubble dont seem to have tags. Head out 500Ly and you will find some undiscovered systems, sooner if you are lucky.

Had some like this myself - just wont show up as discovered. I thought it was odd that one body in a fully explored system close to a busy spot would be unexplored...

Ahhh.

If you are close to civilised space some planets are assumed explored. Pretty much any inhabited system will not give you first discovered tags. Like sol for instance has no first discovered tags yet its impossible to get.


Yes you are right, they should be locked off really for clarity (imo).

Like I said FD just needs to either open up bodies like this for re-exploration or just mark it themselves when they remove other peoples names. That way there's no confusion, cause you know, for a new person this could cause some pretty serious confusion if they are trying to get their name on some rocks and gas.

No, that's different, those are 'pre explored' systems that you already have the system info for from the beginning, those seem to be scattered throughout the core inhabited area. These are definitely systems that were first unexplored but players explored, but some planets or stars don't contain any first discovery name while the rest in the system do.

I'm going to go ahead and assume, even though it's probably incorrect that any system that has stuff discovered but not ever body discovered is one of these for the sake of saving time wasted traveling in SC to far off bodies.

I'd assume that within 1000LY of Sol. If you go further out then its probably lazy CMDR's like me that don't want to travel 100,000LS for what looks like a high metal content planet :)
