You've got it right Alec, and so has FD.

You've both got it very, very wrong

So now we'll never know a planet type until we actually go there? [woah]
The way we always used to?? Squint at the icon and listen well to the audio that is played while actively selected.That looks bloody awful. I do not like it at all.
If it stays like that my exploration days will be over, suface scanning every planet is just a serious grind fest. How on earth would you find any earth like worlds?
The is no way in this world I am scanning every single body just to know what it looks like.
Forgive me if I've misunderstood but ... we have scanners (which are better than telescopes), and what they've done is changed it so you can't see the planet until you've used your scanner?
Seems fine to me, or have I missed something?

This is truly terrible FDEV.
It has officially ruined my immersion because you have removed the telescopes from the basic scanner.
Awful, awful thing.

This should be like this since Day 1...

Quick question: How many systems have you visited, and what is your maximum distance travelled from Sol?
CMDR grnbrg.

While this was the original design for the scanners (fixing a separate issue has had a knock-on effect) the behaviour for the this view will return to its previous state. However you will need to have completed a surface scan to see the surface in the surface map, with no surface scan it will default to the sphere grid.

That sounds excellent (other opinions are available) ... thanks Michael!
P.S. I'm assuming just a basic surface scan will do (i.e. that we won't need a detailed surface scanner in order to get a surface map)
