Exploration: What's your biggest score?

mossfoot · May 31, 2015

After six weeks out there and getting back, I've had a couple dozen systems worth over 200K

Sagittarius A* (317,102 credits) might as well act as a goalpost for "big score" since only one of my others beat it.

MYRIELK MU-X C14-3404 came in at 330,186 credits - the only such system to break 300K for me

This is of course before the undiscovered bonuses are applied, so no need to worry about that.

How about you? What's your biggest scores?

Neokortex · May 31, 2015

Today I saw something around 280k but I just clicked to fast because I was not really exploring before - just testing.

Arry · May 31, 2015

Just over 5000cr?

Opps, being childish again; no really, that is about all I have raised in one lump.

Arry.

Will let you know once I get back, but I have a few promising ones in mind. One Neutron system with an Earth like, and a bunch of terraforming candidates, and then the star about 200k Ls away with another Earthlike, a water world, and a bunch of high metal content terraforming candidates to boot.

I'll know in about 4-6 weeks...

I will be returning from my latest jaunt in the next day or two. Should have around 3000 systems to cash in so will have a scan through before selling and post here. Previous best was around 220K

Allitnil · Jun 1, 2015

My best is Dryau Aod CH-K D9-24 at 318K credits. An ELW, couple of terraformable water worlds, a 3rd water world and two other terraformable planets.

Varrag · Jun 1, 2015

I don't remember the system name, but it was around 300.000 I think... there were whole bunch of terraformable candidates.

Zieman · Jun 1, 2015

NGC 2264 SECTOR CM-M D7-1 gave me 328k Cr.

Pre-buff record was HIP 23989 at 215k Cr - wonder how much it would have been now...

CMDR DoubleSkulls · Jun 1, 2015

I've got one with an ELW and four terraformables plus other stuff to cash in when I return. That could be worth a few bob.

dognosh · Jun 1, 2015

~350K+ for me, 1 neutron , 3 WW+TC , 1 WW, 1 HM+TC

also mine(discovery) ,~300K, 1 BH + 4 NS + class 5 + a few dwarves

not mine, 1 ELW and 7 TC planets

139,715,053 credits for the Sagittarius A* system.

for....1 star and the SMBH? That contradicts the first post as every other explorer should be getting like...85mil just from visiting that system alone.

Yes.

OK, so UC couldn't tell me exactly how much as it had the display bug thing going on, meaning everything was at 0 credits but my balance did update with the correct payouts, so I had to make calculations based on my balance change.

And it went from this:

to this:

and 5 minutes later, this:

A few days later, a server-side patch at the time of 1.02 adjusted the payouts from the supermassive black hole down to what it is today (314159 credits), seeing as all this happened hours after the Race to Elite contest began. I wasn't eligible for that contest, having not reset my save since Gamma, but nothing changed for me and I was free to continue, even though I was expecting to see something change. As I have still to this day yet to receive any official personal word about what this meant for me (aside from the game retroactively giving me the First Discovery flag there, although there was no big fanfare or anything), I'm guessing FD were OK with it.

Glyphon · Jun 1, 2015

Damn that's a lot of dosh. I only got like 20k for data during gamma. Good work on timing it so well before the change. I'd hazard a guess because you got that data legitimately they didn't do anything, regardless of if you were eligible for the contest or not.

I was having a lot of difficulty selling the data at the time, between poor net connections and poor server issues. It was fortunate that I managed to get a good connection to the server just as the game launched with 1.00.

Zenith · Jun 1, 2015

I'm sure there will be others who agree with me, but you deserve your 139million, First Discovery and Elite status for Sagittarius A*.
There's something to be said about being the first to do something notable in-game.

Kolato · Jun 1, 2015

I once got over 200k from a system, but i only scanned the 4 water worlds in it, if i had decided to scan all the planets, i expect i would have made atleast over 350k.

Ben_BigBen · Jun 1, 2015

I remember the bug fix note for Zulu Romeos payout - something like "fix supermassive payouts for supermassive blackholes"

Wasn't there someone who found four ELWs in one system ? that's got to be a good score right there.

I think my best was about 230,000 for a Neutron, Ammonia, ELW and a few CFT so nothing special (although I was quite excited when I found it !)

puca · Jun 1, 2015

My best is a 900k ish system, I forget the exact amount. Sag A* is like 300k ish now?

Whiterose · Jun 1, 2015

I will let you know in three weeks.
