So for example you decide to cheat, and make just one jump to Beagle from Sol. Yay. Now you are at the Beagle Point. You find out that as destination it has basically nothing special. Only special thing in it is its remoteness and amount of patience to get there. And you never showed that patience. You cheated after all. No achievement at all.
Cheating

Jump range and survey cheats literally existed since the olden age. Just because you haven't seen them (why would you?) doesn't mean they don't exist.
Cheating in Elite Dangerous and Why You Should Care (Combat, Power Play, BGS, PvP, PvE)
Pretty sure someone beat me to it.
Good lord. Dude the poles are melting.
I don't think there is any personally, if fact there's plenty against, the reason Rackham's Peak was only explored recently is because Fleet Carriers came out recently, it's always been there, there are plenty of other very interesting locations out on the edge of the galaxy that have never been visited because they are out of range of Fleet Carriers, if unlimited jump range was an available cheat they would have been visited, that argument's simply not credible to me.
Basically this. Those interesting outliers would have been "explored" way before Fleet carriers if cheating in exploration had been common thing.
I'm not going to watch a video that is 8 minutes long and actually doesn't mention "exploration" cheating as part of the description, that's what we asked for, that's not what you provided!
And yet you have the time to make comments that add literally nothing to the conversation. The video gives a long list of cheats that existed way back then and among those included Jump range, fuel use, and instant survey. What do you think instant survey cheats are used for, genius??
If somebody who has just "explored" around the bubble and at best flown to Colonia and back says that it is because of cheaters why he could not tag new systems I tend to take that claim with generous amount of salt. 
It is like somebody tried to fight it out against highly enginereeded combat meta ship and thinks reason why he lost was because of opponent being a cheater.

Please read what I wrote. Carefully.If somebody who has just "explored" around the bubble and at best flown to Colonia and back says that it is because of cheaters why he could not tag new systems I tend to take that claim with generous amount of salt.
Especially when those claims come from commander who has pretty little understanding how game works.
For crying out loud, there's 400+ billion star systems and only .05% have been found. What are you worried the cheaters are going to do? Find all remaining 398 billion and render exploration complete?
This. Even army of cheaters could not do noticeable dent to that number.
Then give us a time stamp. You are talking rubbish, provide evidence, I am not going to watch that video just for a few seconds of what you claim is evidence. You have provided none except a link to an 8 minute video. Fact is you are saying "solo infinite jump range cheat" you do realise that solo isn't a special game mode, there's almost no difference between solo and open except for instancing so if it can be done in Solo it can be done in Open and PG, that claim simply doesn't make any sense at all! Provide a time stamp for that video where it provided evidence of exploration cheats, and by evidence I mean not just a claim they exist, because that's all you have done so far.
Ah so you think players like you who know every inch of the game are the majority, do you? And everyone else's concerns don't matter because they've spent less time in a game than you have? The lack of empathy is just sad.
2:29 Literally a full page of exploration cheats. Why do I even waste my breath with you? Good night.
It is not lack of empathy, but kind of attitude, "I'm right, you are wrong and I do not want to understand your arguments". And that attitude comes from that inexperienced player.

Then feel free to not even reply to my arguments. You're literally saying "screw you I don't care about your problems", you could literally have said this 2 pages ago and saved both of us a lot of time. Good night.
