Only ammonia worlds count for the CG.



the same ammonia world can be turned in multiple times by different CMDRs, and it counts 3x as much when mapped - still too high a number if it is 1 (or 3) each

My highest paying AW in EDSM is 1.7m.

At 3x price that would be about 20% of the total...

This'll get adjusted.

This is certainly intriguing. It's an interesting change for Exploration CGs. If this works and can make use of just one type of body, then this opens up loads of doors.

I am out in Kepler's Crest at the moment, and I have actually been coming across quite a few Ammonia Worlds in the last week... Hmmm I might have to make a beeline for the Coalsack...

Please don't call that kind of CG "exploration" because that's not.

This is a lot better than they used to be. Previously only number of visited systems counted, not even the amount of bodies or type of scans.

Well, that's certainly horrifying.

But here's the thing. AWs are really rare, and with the first discovery bonus being what it its, people farming according to EDDB will absolutely crush anyone trying to actually explore.
And even if the first discovery bonus was way highe (it should, btw), I don't think it would make up for the rarity, unless the CG itself would use it's own modifiers with an heavy penalty for already discovered/mapped planets (aka how the CG should have been).

So maybe it's an improvement, but it's honestly far from good.

I'm a bit confused, because it's a CG. Anyone trading using EDDB for a CG will crush anyone trying to actually trade.
Ammonia Worlds are rare, but they're not really rare. And there are plenty that don't get uploaded to 3rd party sites.

Not sure what you mean about first discoveries though. This seems to be about testing a new mechanic. Exploration CGs have been very bad for a long time, this is definitely a huge improvement. Don't forget that Exploration is the hardest thing to do a CG for, because once you've scanned an object once, you can't scan it again. So you're pushed further and further into areas you've not explored before, just to get data.
