That's exactly what we currently have in Elite since 3.3 update.
If I wanted a 'radio-tuning' game I would have rather bought an old radio.

So no citation then, because you know it's not relevant. And if you think it is why do you keep bringing it up without linking to it?
This is what is comes down to: it appears you may have played the game previously in a more cursory manner to the way I like to play it. If you just waited for the DSS to finish its scan at a distance, you were merely checking another planet off the list. No wonder you like the FSS system, because it feeds into that kind of mental approach.

That's what your argument is reduced to?
Against a system where you can scan a 0.001 Earth-mass icy moon from 500,000Ls away, and never move from the drop-in point?
Exploration has changed from 'traveling' to 'astronomy' and while I understand why people like astronomy (I have an astrophysics degree) I'd just like the OPTION to go back to traveling mode.
Ofc no citation, because he just wants to defend, nothing more. I bet he hasn't even left the bubble to try the mini game lol.
You have that option, it's called mapping.
Not really, you still get to fly to a planet and leave your name on it, with the added bonus of revealing POIs.
Its been posted a few times already, as has this.
I stopped caring about getting my name on things around the time I stopped caring about credits. Flying to a body I already know everything about, including what type of POIs it has, doesn't meet my criteria for exploration. In addition, the infinite probe aspect of the DSS, coupled with being provided the exact location of whichever of the half dozen identical anomalies are present, renders it another exercise in box-ticking, rather than exploration.
That just makes it a zombie-fact.
It was wrong the first time it was posted and wrong every time it's been repeated.
That’s some serious reaching and you know it. You’re getting mighty desperate if you seriously believe that the ADS is ever coming back. This thread in and of itself is testament to the fact that most people don’t want it to come back, and FDev will listen to them as always.
When 3.3.1 rolls out and there is no ADS, can we all point and laugh then?
Wrong ?.
If you like. Or you could be mature about it. Whichever.
The claim that FDev posted in the forum is wrong.
Feel free to prove otherwise - and you'll have my sincere apologies.
It's still considered exploration, because before you enter the system, no one knows about anything in there. Then you honk and discover how many gravitational sources there are, then you open the FSS and zoom into those gravitational sources and discover the planets.
Now you want global maps of those planets, so you fly to them and lob some probes at them to create a map. The fact that probes are in infinite supply can be explained by having a replicator creating them.
Just think about how much shorter this thread would be without all the baiting & deliberate misunderstandings
189 pages.
No sorry. A small group of people who enjoy the unhappiness of others dont want it to come back. The rest dont care and wouldnt care if it came back as a module.
I prefer this version of the fss i just wish the planets would appear on the system map when you honk
