Any already discovered system will do. This isn't a CG to go find new unexplored worlds in deep space, but rather one to get up to date mapping data n whatnot on systems closer to the Bubble (or within it, I guess).
Apparently not...
I really think it should. It would incentivize people to participate.

I fully mapped a previously discovered and mapped system last night and it counted for 42 reports - 14 bodies x 3 it seems. Also had an extra bonus mapping the complete system.
Probably because the only tiers displayed are 100 to 25%, nothing higher.
Currently it also isn't too difficult to get into the top 25%. Just a few systems scanned and mapped on my end with 183 reports. Not that I'm really aiming for it or anything.

That's because there is no Top 10 or Top 10%!
I think exploration CGs are like that. Everyone dives off into the black and comes back on the last day to hand in.As of this posting time, not looking good
I'm even better on one of my alts.
Why oh why does FD still do the same clunky decisions regarding gameplay?
A single L pad megaship for a CG again?
We have those sweet multi-L-pad models in game called Fleet Carriers, why do I have to switch to solo to hand stuff in?
There is still no queuing in game, and single L pad megaships for CGs are stoooooopid.
I was in open, it was a nice instance with 6 L vessels around the Trailblazer, but sorry, I don't spam my "request docking" button to be the first
and I can't be arxed to organize a queue again. These times are obsolete since the attack on the Oracle
To solo I went, thx for muh immurshon.

In seriousness, what do you gain from doing this kind of CG in open? Is it the thrill of there being the danger of being ganked, thus you losing all your exploration data?
Also, why are you using a large ship for an exploration data CG? Just use a Mandalay or Phantom, or even a DBX. The small pads are aplenty.
I won't be ganked, and if, I'd deserve it. I like the thrill, yes. And I only had the explo data from the 6 jumps there onboard, to hand in some data. So the loss would've been negligible.
As for the large ship, I used my Orca because it's ungankable and didn't think there still would be those Megaships around, silly me.
Next time I use my Phantom, it wasn't ganked at the construction of Explorers Anchorage and it propably won't be ganked here.
New Asp Explorer buindle states "uncover the hidden" and the same day a major corp Community Goal wants people to actually, properly, map everything around the core systems... sounds near identical to the work done by tons of CMDRs over the years to find Raxxla.
A the same time:
There is a CMDR group who is 3D mapping the 200ly radius of Sol who has been doing this same thing for a while now. They have most of it done.
I know I may seem like a nut but something about all it feels wildly coincidential... and it also feels like a nudge from FDev to get people to stop half-assing the system scans in the region... lol
Excited to see what "Hidden" things people may finally discover in this region and excited to contribute to the goal here.

Ohhhhh I never thought to approach this CG from the tin foil hat angle! Let's gooooo!
Ah, glad to see that's real - was it a big bonus?
It is an exploration CG why bother with a large ship.Why oh why does FD still do the same clunky decisions regarding gameplay?

As for FCs apart from PP aren’t they only available to players?

It triples the CG value.
Just a Q - as far as I gather, only the NUMBER of contributions count, right? So the number of FSS'ed bodies, not their data value? So, mapping them adds nothing to CG goal? Or being first discoveries?
The CG text says, "Contributions will be valued by thoroughness, with full FSS scans & planetary probing completions rewarded higher."
Crap, missed that. TNX!
