That's fair enough, but finding new ones feels like it's more in the spirit of the thing to me.
I disagree
Even the CG text disagrees
They dont look for new stuff, they want a update on existing data
We commanders will have mapped the whole galaxy in a mere 40,000 years or so, the Thargoids have been around for far far longer than that, even assuming that they are even less competent than humans they will have already got the locations of all interesting planets recorded.
Sorry, OK, I hadn't read it that way. I really wasn't trying to cause trouble.
I found a new Ammonia world last night. It's 280k Ls from the main star, which is around 30k Lys from Sol. Anyone want it? 
Aww, no trouble - why so serious?
Nobody can stop you to bring in first discoveries, but dont get disappointed if you cant compete in the CG
Luckily there's nothing to compete for in this oneAww, no trouble - why so serious?

... Edit: I just peeked at that guide and the odds of happening upon ammonia worlds is much lower than I expected

Not really what I would call an "exploration " CG it's like finding a commodity CG . Exploration in a week ?Just sign up before you hand in your data. That's what counts.
Also, Exploration CG!
Not that I'm going to do it.
More common than Earthlikes, thats all, its Thargoid-Homeworld-Like, not the Ammonia version of the popular Water worlds.Luckily there's nothing to compete for in this one

Yes the CG appeared in game briefly yesterday and was noticed by one of our CG team moderators. It was immediately reported back to FD and was swiftly removed. Unfortunately, we then discovered that, thanks to the API, it was showing on Inara for some time after and yesterday morning another version appeared in German, but with almost the same 'last updated' time as the original. It is unfortunate that the leak happened and everything possible was done to rectify the situation quickly.
You know, what prompted me to write that was the first Ammonia World CGThis looks quite useful.
Marx's guide to finding Ammonia worlds
Welcome to my guide to finding Ammonia worlds! This was adapted from my guide to finding Earth-like worlds, but it seems there's more and more of an interest in finding Ammonia worlds as well. If you read this little text, you'll know how to improve your chances of finding Ammonia worlds. Note...forums.frontier.co.uk
That one only lasted a week, however, so that's an improvement. The final tier target was 1,000,000, and looks like it's only 330,000 now. Given that the last one hit 900,000 in a week, I wonder if this one won't finish early. However, during those times, players discovered new systems at around three times the rate than they do now - so that might be why the CG target is the third of what it was.Also, if memory serves, the increased data payouts (by both the first AW and the ELW CGs) didn't lead to increased rank progress, nor to increased squadron leaderboard points. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean that is certain to be true now too, as Odyssey's release was after these, so bugs might have crept in.

You would think, why would people want to do that? What good does it do to know that there is an ammonia world 50,000 ly away from the Sun?
And most importantly there was already at least the same provocation. We were stupidly bringing in relics to cause a Thargoid invasion. How long will people think that any CG is right and we are not fooled?
I don't think it will even hit tier 4. Even tier 3 looks like a stretch right now. Last ammonia worlds CG had the pre-engineered DSS as module reward. This one has no incentive other than useless credits and useless exploration rank (unless you are a new player, of course).
I'm doing it merely because I'm bored out of my mind from killing thargoids for three months.
I can confirm. I turned in +70 mil last night and my explo rank didn't move one pixel.
In the early days of the Sirius atmospherics Ammonia CG Fdev had to take out the bonus's certainly for the elite ranking ( I wasn't too bothered at the time about the squadron rankings ) but they acted fairly quickly ?

Oh, I had entirely forgotten about that module reward: good point then, thanks! Then yeah, the rewards are much worse this time around, so it won't be any surprise if this CG will struggle.
