The TL;DR version is, would you clear save if your data was mostly invisible?
The longer version....
When engineers dropped I lost access to whole bunch of system maps. I noticed because Beagle Point 7 had become unknown and when I jumped out to the next system to meet FGE I got the "new discovery" message despite having been there a few days before. When I checked others (eg Sag A) I had no access to the system map.
Eventually I've discovered that even systems that I have 1st discovery bonus on from Feb (including the ELW I rushed back to hand in during DWE) I can't access :/
Support had assured me my data was intact so continuing to explore wouldn't cause issues.
When beta dropped, I took the fast way back to the bubble and poked around. The systems were still dark to me. I skipped around a bit honking and handing in those scans to see if it would trigger a 'fix'.....nope.
So support kindly agreed to resetting my beta account to a recent "live save" and teleporting me back to a station to see what would be the case after manually coming back the 65kylies (in case self destruct compounded the issue).
So far I've sold some 25m data and gained some 1st discovery bonuses.....including some of the Beagle bodies...sorry about that
But.....despite selling the likes of Beagle and Sag A*, I cannot see their system maps. I still have a lot more checking to do to determine which data is gone versus not.
BTW, if anyone has access to Beagle Point in beta, would you mind checking the tags? For some reason my Cmdr name has become Disorganise.7806 in beta so curious to know if that's a display issue my end or if the tags also show that.
Anyhow......let's assume that all those 1st discoveries remain dark to me despite receiving the 1st disovery bonus. And further assume this is representative of the live server situation.
Would you;
Carry on with the 42k trip to Jaques which will likely take me a month or so. This will net a chunk of credits, and get me closer to elite in discovery. But, the vast majority of systems I visited on DWE (and it looks like prior to that also unfortunately) remain "undiscovered". Who know what issues kor not) that might cause in the future.
Do a clear save. That saves me the month of travel (actually more like 2 months, since still need to get to Mitterand Hollow) but loses all rank, credits, etc. I've no idea how it does/does not affect tags......but I intend to try it in beta before it ends
Probably there's considerations I didn't think of. Your thoughts?
