Thanks very much.
Hey, I found my new wallpaper [smile]
Wow .... just Wow.
And to think, Terra WW's are worth more than an ELW, and they are in far greater abundance too. Just obscene.
Edit: I guess if/when we can land on ELW's in the future, the pricing will be restructured again!

The numbers on the picture aren't entirely accurate, and most of the time, ELW-s will still be worth more than WWTC-s. However, due to the way payouts are calculated, sufficiently massive water worlds which are terraforming candidates can pay more credits than Earth-likes do. This isn't something new to 2.3, it has been always this way. Said "super-WWTCs" are quite rare though.
Perhaps one day, we'll see more thought being applied to how exploration payouts are designed than there has been so far.

But my question (in other threads) still goes un-answered about pre-2.3 scans...
So far no-one has even hinted at an answer
This has previously been the case (as far as we can tell...) when exploration payouts have changed. So probably...
That's good ... fingers crossed then !!
Nice guide, thanks. I've added this to my sticky "Best of forum" thread.
Heh, I'd be buying cutters just to store spare modules in
Great post OP, much Appreciated!

Great reference guide, thank you!
Regarding the varying scan values, the wikia Explorer page shows that scan values vary by mass. Has that been confirmed? Does anyone know if the credit value scales linearly with mass, or has specific stepped values for mass categories (as shown in the wikia table: Tiny Earth-like = 65000, Medium Earth-like = 67798, Huge Earth-like = 77700). I don't have enough sample exploration and sale data myself to tell.
I'm writing a little function in EDDI that will announce the approximate value of the scanned star/body when you scan it. I'd like for it to be as correct as possible.

Yes, it has. I think the most precise calculation was in the exploration value formula thread by MattG.Great reference guide, thank you!

Of course, you'll have to adjust that for the new values come 2.3. I'd be surprised if it weren't just changing the constants though.
