Anyone else missing "First discovered" and "First mapped" tags?

Maybe we should assign first discovered tags to the numerous bugs in the game.
Does this mean these undiscovered/un-mapped systems I'm finding might actually be discovered and mapped and I'm wasting my time with them? I only started exploring again after the update.
Possibly. When returning from the Formadine Rift almost most systems showed only the sun, no planets. System map also showed blank space. Soon as I did the planetary scan it listed, say, 30 or so planets but still nothing in the sys map. Once I did the FSS though then looked at sys map they were usually all discovered and mapped. Now it may be me but is this the way it is supposed to work anyway?
The thing is this takes far longer to do than I remember. Is there a thing in the game whereby if you haven't been in a system in a given timescale it initially returns to undiscoverd and you have to do a scan again. It is so confusing, especially when you pop in to a system you discovered and mapped years ago and nothing shows now until you scan again and there is the info.
Denis.
Well in the systems I'm in it's not showing any firsts even after FSS. Here's to hoping when I return to the bubble I'll get my deserved First tags.
Firsts still work when you turn them in, unless the most recent patch broke that. But last week I was able to claim firsts.
And the saving in the background is also still working as I checked a bookmark of my first first and it was still there.
Curretnly I am doing some exploring and actually I am missing bodies without the "first discovered" tag. It's all discovered! Explorers are crazy!
Doing some bubble exploring and as you might expect a lot of systems are fully tagged.
However seem to be missing first mapped tags. When you select the body on the left hand panel, it does say "mapped" but not on the system map.
Will post a screenie when I can.
Edit: some systems do show first mapped though

No, it isn't a serious bug.
I saw the bug too, and while I’m a bit of a tag mainiac gotta admit the system map looks so much better without them.
An option would be nice.
An option would be nice.
Systems in the Bubble that are prediscovered so the only tag was "mapped by" have the mapped tags dissapeared. Players into mapping (like me) have spent A LOT of time tagging and mapping systems. I 'd certainly consider that to be a serious bug. Think of what it would mean for exploring if first tags were to disappear.
Personally I don't like those tags and wish them gone (or at least optionally turned off), but that's beside the point.
Objectively speaking it's a minor visual bug. Certainly not gamebreaking.
I've spent considerable time spreading my name throughout the galaxy, yet I find myself agreeing with you.
Each new day I learn something new that people gripe about. So why are first tags so upsetting now? I obviously missed the rants.
I think there are many people that don't especially like them, but where do you see the gripe?
You haven't missed the rants, because even if I would prefer not to see those tags and I don't think it's unreasonable to share my sentiments in passing, I also don't think it's a too big a deal to whine about. Others probably feel similiar.
As to why? For me it's more like gamey highscore table in every system forced in my face - mostly because of gamertags. I'm not into tagging planets, so I'm not interested, therefore I would prefer to have a cleaner view without that kind of reminder that I'm playing a game and Cmdr ISheetYouNot was there first.
But I understand some people like them. On/Off option would be nice, but I won't be making any rant threads about it (I will sign an Open Letter though
).
