Then we better be able to filter them to never display in the FSS the same way we can filter the Navigation panel to never show them. Or just remove them from the game because they're utterly worthless and in my way.

Then we better be able to filter them to never display in the FSS the same way we can filter the Navigation panel to never show them. Or just remove them from the game because they're utterly worthless and in my way.
In both Live streams so far they have said that you will still be able to see things pop up when close. However, i think that this exploration change will make going to the Nav beacon more important when in the bubble.
Their current business model is totally broken anyway. At the moment they pay out to every commander who scans a body or system, regardless of whether or not someone else has already found it. That's even less sustainable than the model proposed in Ch4.

Obviously, someone is paying UC shiploads of credits for those scans. I've never had an issue with multiple scans either, the extra scans of previously surface scanned bodies just improves the data quality. I'm guessing UC sells the data to numerous parties who will mine or terraform those bodies or some other uses I can't think of right now. For all we know those scans can contain more data than we can presently see and require additional analysis to resolve interesting finds that are worth a lot more than we get paid.
My guesstimate is that you will lose the G5 upgrade, to be replaced by the infinite ammunition DSS.
Can somebody please confirm if first player to sell exploration date gets "first discovered by" still applies? X and Y both found planet 123. X found it first, but Y sold data first. So Y gets first discovered by reward? I understand that you can discover some planet first then lose your ship so it makes sense that the person who sold data first gets it.
AFAIK that's correct. First to scan and sell gets the tag, both now and in Ch4.

Waaaaay to many new buttons needed.
Did anyone notice in patch notes? Nightvision now works in the SRV!!!
In the live stream it showed geological features on the surface of a body, yet I can't seem to get the short-range composition scanner to work. I've been in SC and switched modes but no luck.
You have to add it to a firegroup like the old ADS. The new DSS rocks I am finding planetary features all the time its genuinely excellent.
The FSS is poor though. It needs to be cut or reworked.
Cheers. I should have added that it was bound to a fire group. Perhaps it's the type of body i'm trying to scan.
Regarding the codex, when this goes live, will my current first discoveries be added to it? Trying to find answers to this is proving difficult while I'm juggling an increasing work load ... at work.

Regardless of whether you personally like the way it's been implemented or not, some people will have spent a large amount of their time designing and developing this stuff.
I understand that you're just trolling but comments like this are just hurtful and disrespectful.
It's not big or clever. How about a little kindness or a thought for how your comments might impact others?

I have, by NPC's a few times. It just pops you right out of the FSS and into the interdiction screen, which then immediately flashes the "SUBMITTING" up on the HUD because you are of course at zero throttle.
There's no time for an alert because you are sitting still. What would be nice is to either:
1. Allow the FSS to be used while moving or out of supercruise.
or
2. Implement the ship radar into the FSS screen.

in which century do we actually live so that those probes explode over a low orbit? wouldn't it be more proer if they didn't explode if we set a correct path and they just fly around the planet and return tot he ship? basically like even today some sattelites use gravity of aplanet to get a flight path?
They are filled with nano-bots, the probe head explodes to disperse the bots across the area shown in blue; the remaining portion of the probe acts to collate the data and transmit it to the ship.
