Anyone posted the changes for Exploration in 2.3?

I really wish that FDev wouldn't insist on putting exploration focussed mods behind combat and/or political locks. Assuming the patch notes are correct, DSS grade 5 requires either a Dangerous combat ranking or sucking up to the Empire :(

I am very frustrated. Finally we get something to make exploration more interesting and they force you to partake in the Engineering debacle to get it. It's bad enough having to travel all the way back to the bubble to buy new modules but making us go on a dirty wizards quest is just taking the *iss. :(

Had a very quick look around, this from about 2/3km high:

It does look nice, but as I run on medim/high, I can't tell that those features can really be in 3D. Once on the ground, they're flat for me.

Gawd... someone's going to have to write a 'how to' guide for the cameras now. That's nuts!

All I could work out was how to set the 9 different default camera views (yeah... 9) but could I get the bloody camera to DO anything? Nope.

If you didn't already, try resetting your control scheme back to default (and re-customising).
 
Maybe check this first (at about 1'50"), I didn't have to reset my bindings after all, one binding is just weirdly located:

Oh, and Hi again folks :)

I'm just getting back into things by taking my Corvette (The Morrigan) into the CG bounty hunting zone. Once that's done I'm going to take the Anaconda (The Grey Ghost) out on some passenger missions.

Hello Traveller_GG, long time no see/hear/speak!!

I myself have been off-again/on-again over the past few months, and took a break from the forums in general.

Thanks for posting the list...it is quite interesting.

Likewise - I have been off the forums for a while and sunk some time into other games but the beta is proving 'interesting'. I self-destructed the old 'Apostata III' out near Beagle Point 2 to get back to the bubble but not before 'wowing' at the new graphical image of the galaxy from that far out. I stupidly didn't thing to take a screenshot and now wish I was back out there in the beta.

The new camera POV is fun but a pain to set up in terms of controls. Looking at Josh Hawkins' video to get help. I am currently flying an Adder so if anyone in the beta wants to test out multi-crew once it is rolled into the patch, please send me an in-game invite!

Do we have any word on whether the exploration rank requirements were adjusted or not? (Now that payouts for TCs and ELWs have been raised a lot.) I tried looking for some info, but couldn't find anything yet.

To add on to that. Does the increase in payout for TCs and ELWs apply to those that we have scanned but not turned in? Or only to newly scanned planets?
