I'm really keen for us deep space explorers to be able to discover interesting sciencey things and have a separate Elite ranking specific to science (because you know the real world of science and facts is being undermined by the maniacs running the show today on earth!). One idea would be for an occasional RNG supernova or flare event etc., (comparable to real milky way rates of events) able to be discovered nearby... e.g. an alert in ship messages, go to system, scan the star (or remnants)... and first person back to sell for $$$ and science elite ranking.
The same mechanics could be used for many other science-based events... and ranking.
Want. Moar. Science!
