Galaxy Reset

I think rather than a reset they should let players buy Galactic Regional Data of Discoveries from the Universal Cartographics.
They would then be able to avoid systems already discovered while plotting.

Sorry to hijack guys, but a few days ago I discovered my first planet and got the "Kepler's eye Achievement, but gosh darn it, I can't see it anywhere in my codex, stats or info panel, I have a few star, geological and 36 planetary discoveries/confirmations, and have looked through my discoveries and can find no mention of it..

I know I'm being daft, but I only go out exploring every few months and hadn't realised id discovered one until I thought Id best to cash my data in before hitting the CG lol Anyone of you explorers know where I'm going wrong lol

I'd be more interested if the next big release was such a significant step on, and significant change in gameplay etc, that it meant that individuals playing in it would be in a different instance to the server(s) we have now... That would fill me with a lot of hope.

ps: I really don't expect that to be the case.

Yeah, I appreciate that kind of discovery also. I'm just a bit puzzled why we were given all these neat new scanner tools and so little use for them outside a handful of targets, most of them clumps of geysirs or volcano vents. Another telling aspect IMO is that maybe 80% of "this game looks cool" screenshots feature a planetary/stellar ring. Wish the game had more features like that. Asteroids that weren't just potatoes or rings, for instance? Comets?

I get it, but it's a hard thing to get perfect. If the rare stuff is too abundant then you get bored quickly with finding it. If the rare stuff is too rare you get bored looking for it. I mean nothing is going to really be able to be that deep in a game this broad so even when you find this stuff, it's a poke and a prod and some text message pointing to a codex entry so you've already got to be a little self-motivated anyway for exploration as it stands. I don't really go off looking for anything in particular. I like to try to visit all of some class of star in a given region, or as many as I can get to and find what I find. So right now I'm working on white dwarfs out Colonia way. So I find a lot of bark mounds. And yeah, I'm not overly excited by them now but it's still cool that they follow rules and appear near places that would have had supernovae in the past.

But I'm definitely not saying that there isn't room to add a lot more to do with exploration, I just think reality is that this is what it's going to be for a long time to come.

You want to reset all discoveries because you choose to 'explore' where everyone else has been?

Good grief.

ETA: The galaxy is largely completely unexplored if you go places that are not tourist traps. It is 'undiscovered', not mysterious or strange. It's made up of stars and planets that follow a pretty set and understood pattern. There is plenty out there to find but rare things are.... rare.

Nope I said reset it and changing few parameter to have a different galaxy to re discover

So you basically want to reset all discoveries? To what end? As the above poster points out, you'd eventually end up back in exactly the same situation as you find yourself now.

Tbh I don't see the reason to save forever al these discoveries. I don't remember about most of them so I personally have no reason to have a fictional planet with my fictional name on it. But that's only my opinion of course.

I stumble on something that is really neat most trips out. Be that a canyon with a great view, or a planet that reflects the light of a nebula on the ice, or any number of really excellent vistas. It's largely why I explore, as well as my personal goal to find my own remote double-painite ring. Cool stuff is out there to see but probably not a ton of never-seen-before by player-eyes things.

I'd love to hear they are adding something new to find. I got no issue with that, but resetting the universe because you don't like that other people have been to to the places you go is a pretty brazenly self-centered view I think.

Mmm no! It's not centered on me. Seeing many systems already discovered removes the sense of mystery and unknown. I don't want to be the one that will discover all is them! 😜

Certainly in favor of the establishment of some far and distant human colonies being forged in the distant reaches of space.
Even more in favor of this being does as a result of player actions, not behind-the-scenes, pay-no-attention-to-the-man-behind-the-curtain mumbo-jumbo to make it so.
But I don't see Elite ever evolving to this level of game play.

Makes you wonder what’s really in those permit locked systems way out there, doesn’t it?
