Then replace the blue blobs with other markers - and fix the color grading on the skybox. And while we are at it, make the orbital lines less bright and add an option to hide the gravitational well circles.
the FSS, watching paint dry....

This would be really cool as an overlay on the HUD plane, but not on the actual bodies. Either way, would be fun to stay in the cockpit view and scan the system with the view of it all through the canopy. Makes me think of how perhaps a military pilot would adjust and read radar/scanners but with feedback on the HUD.
If you are close enough to see the actual bodies the scan should have completed and the blue blob removed. But yes, it would only be a HUD overlay.

OH GOD THEYRE HERE.
RUN.
RUUUUN!!!!
You are easily scared?
Fear not, I'm not going to complain about the skybox or the brightness of the orbital lines or the blue gravity well circles.

Haha nah..its not that its just..soemtimes you post something not knowing that next thing youl know its 3 am and yourE arguing wtith a person who deosnt exist outside that forum post over a color preference and It IS EXHAUSTING.
30KLy out from the bubble and still going, leaving my grubby little pawprints on fully 'discovered' systems as I go, I travelled arount 8KLy yesterday, something that with the old system I'd not had been able to do... The new system works fine for me thanks (even in VR) and I can't honestly say I'm missing the old way.
Those who continue to campaign for the old way, for whatever reason, I wish you luck, honestly - why should I be having all the fun

You made a post so nice.
Marc had to quote it twice.
OK, that's just complete nonsense. As usual you're arguing against something that you made up in your head rather than what the player wrote after working yourself up into yet another frenzy.
Read it again. He didn't suggest replacing the 'new' system with the 'old' one. That's absolutely nothing like the people who demanded the 2.1 AI was nerfed.
I'm back to playing Marc Hicks exploration bingo. 'God Honk', 'Easy mode', 'netflix'. Can you do 'true explorers' too so I can fill my card?
I'm not even going to waste my time on your crap after this post because there's no point arguing with someone who doesn't even have the basic courtesy to actually read the points he's arguing about. Pretty much every post I've seen from you on this topic serves mainly to insult players who have spent the last three or four years exploring in this game whilst you've been farting around in the bubble; it's a shame that one of the most vocal voices on the forum about this topic has been that of someone with such limited experience, understanding and indeed tolerance.

Compare and contrast.
As opposed to God Scanners who crave the easy scan anything without moving model? Even if that anything is 500,000 ls away.
Funny aint it? The God Scanners' criticism is that the god honk with it's infinite range reveals the entire system, but not a peep about the infinite scan range. Which is a level deeper than the honk, so way more OP than the ADS ever was.

Not to mention the fact that if the system has already been fully explored the initial FSS honk gives exactly the same information that the evil ADS did.
The skybox is a travesty. All you can really say is at least it doesnt affect gameplay.
Want to know the reason i think we got this awful thing? Elite is pegi 7+ game. The FSS is gameplay for 7 year olds. Thats why lots of people cant stand it, think its boring and are stopping playing.

But isn't that what exploration is regardless? I enjoy it because it is simple, relaxing and I can watch TV while doing it. Jumping from system-to-system-to-system honking, FSS, or otherwise does not require much mental activity. By far the most challenging aspects of exploration is the preparation: initial figuring out the game controls (comfortable key bindings), game mechanics, payout scheme, and equipping a comfy ship. Actual exploration.... ya, its repetitive.
Perhaps the biggest problem with the FSS is I can't watch TV while I am using it.
Strong arguments here. Let me one up you here: everyone who likes FSS is an ADD child who's missing their Ritalin pills.
Probably?
My feeling is that if you enjoy the experience of flying around in your spaceship, with no immediate goal in mind, then 3.2 was for you. But if exploration is about finding things and you want an immediate feeling of 'ticked another box' the 3 3 is perfect.
No judgement either way, and there's no reason why both styles can't coexist.
