I was hopeful when the new exploration mechanic was released. However, after traveling over 100,000 light years I have discovered there is very little to actually find. What there is to find it’s all copy and paste and very predictable, such as practically all O stars with a landable planet will have pumpkins, Nebulas will have bark etc.
Basically the new system is only good for quickly getting your name on planets because there is very little to actually find. You basically play zoom simulator (which requires no skill) to see the same ordinary planets in the system. In other words, frontier has managed to turn exploration into a grind.
I recommend that you allow players to at least see what planets are in the system after a honk, like before, but keep the DDS/probes to do a detailed scan. The current system is soul crushing after a short time.
