Revelation only removes mystery if there is something mysterious to reveal. What mystery is that, and how is destroyed by the ability to make decisions?
News Chapter Four - Exploration Reveal
Sweet Jesus if you are going to deliberately misinterpret what I am saying there is no point. But you have history so no surprise there.
*cough*
No it doesn't actually, it gives you information that is sufficient if you stop to analyse it to tell you the system just might be interesting!
It doesn't tell you whether or not any of the planets or moons are volcanic, you either need to look at orbital periods, mass and gravitational stress to figure that out or fly to them and use your DSS.
It doesn't tell you if any of the bodies are in habitable zones and may have biology, you either need to use an outside tool such as EDDiscovery to find that out, or if it happens to be a body orbiting a distant secondary star you need to fly to it and use the DSS or try and guess based on oprbital periods of the various bodies, which can be hard if the are in binary or higher configurations.
It doesn't tell you if any of the planets or moons have guardian or ancient ruins, or indeed any of the new stuff they are going to introduce, unless of course you fly up to within 1kls of each body.
The ADS at the moment gives you enough information to make a hasty decision on whether or not to explore a system properly, and since it's a hasty decision it means you will miss most of what's there.
For instance the system that contains Raxla has been visited by a CMDR but he never found Raxxla because he either did a quick honk and flew off after deciding it wasn't interesting enough or didn't have the tools to examine the bodies properly.
Now this is not to say that some sort of ADS info wouldn't be useful for people who aren't explorers, so I would suggest a basic tool, ADS-lite for people who just want bodies and bases. What we actually are getting is not really known to players, but I am sure FDEV haven't forgotten the new players and traders out there.

What did I misinterpret?
Hmm… I'm wondering what you're saying “no” to here? You seem to be saying exactly the same thing I'm saying. Were you going for Max Factor's post that I quoted, but hit reply on mine instead?
If you read the whole of Varonicas post it is obviously for you.
As to what you misinterpreted I am sure most find it obvious. I suggest you reread what I have written instead of cherry picking parts.
Which as far as we know is just a rumour for which there has been no proof. One streamer claimed that an FDev employee told him this while they were chatting at one of the meets.
So… what did I misinterpret?
If you fail to articulate it again, then the only remaining answer is “nothing”.
Apologies to use Your post as an example, as that argument is used by several Cdr during discussion, but it fits the purpose.....
Dear fellow Cdrs - please tell me which part of ED is not a mini-game? IMHO ALL the game is a series of UI loadscreens (including Cockpit view) with a varying number of interaction possibilities, depending on which the next loadscreen is activated. It speaks for the quality of the game that by immersion we usually do forget about that, and even more, that we start complaining about, if that immersion sometimes is disturbed and we "wake up". Same reaction as of a junkie falling out of the kick of his/her preferred "stuff"....
Hence the whole arguing ".... not another UI / loadscreen" from my point of view is null and void, as without UI/loadscreen there is no game at all....
the layout and mechanics are discussible though, but without actually testing them in beta, the whole poopstorm pro&con is meaningless....

Bravo FDev this sound like some real QOL improvements and a fleshing out of exportation, cant wait to see it implemented.
Any evidence of this or just "someone said..."? Any proof, link, or simply propagating unverified rumours ?
Yeah, Last time I heard the devs talk about Raxxla they said the system hadn't been found yet. Granted that was a year ago...
Yeah, some time ago FD stated someone had been in the system where raxxla is, but didnt find/scan it or some such. Cant be bothered to find it, and to be honest when it comes to stuff like this it could easily simply be a lie.

Way to miss the point.
I think you're confusing personal preference and opinion with universal law.
Thanks for your response and patience.
I did not find the link you listed. Only another that seemed equivocal - and talked about scanning the nav beacon.
Sensible and straight-forward solution - not impacting the new scanner functionality.

That being the case, we might as well get the thread closed, as it's serving no useful purpose any more.
Any mods care to do the honours?

No.
I am not responding to any larger points about how new exploration tools are relevant to finding places like Raxxla compared with the current system, I am just confirming that indeed FD has said that at least one person has been in that system and didnt further interact with raxxla, which was a question asked by someone here. Besides, if I or someone else is missing the point, it is rather rude to just point that out without explaining further.
