They explicitly stated that all systems/bodies scanned/mapped and sold to universal cartographics will automatically be visible when entering a system now. Hence my desire for FD to clarify if we can choose to re-scan it anyway. I don't expect monetary reward in game as doing a re-scan in game would yield nothing new to the player that isn't already discovered. It would simply provide the ability for data collectors/catalogers like myself to continue to upload data to the services in a simple manner easily.
About me getting locked up?
Have you seen the stream?
If not you must go watch it.
It is worth every minute of your time.
I think the 2.8% who can’t handle change will just stop playing the game. ;-p
Suggestion: An option to choose whether the system map starts in the old, simplified view, or the orrery view. I am certainly not the only one who would always prefer to use the latter.
Or at least remembers which view you were last in - through gaming sessions even.
I think they mentioned that they appear in the system map, but as unexplored. Kind of like when you initially honk a system now.

I'm at a gig, but I went to FD so, aside from the orrerery (sly b@st@rds) I assume I've seen what you've seen! [heart]About me getting locked up?

But...exploration is about going to places and finding things. What this new system gives us is a method of cartography, not really exploration.
Oh that's right. I forgot you went there in person.

one thing worth calling out is the fact that uss' not only spawn on instance creation and have a time limit, but that time limit exists even if you leave the system and come back.
meaning when you come across that stranded ship looking for fuel you can now go to a station, load up your fuel limpets and go back to the uss and help the pilot.
that's huge.
the big question here is if uss' are unique to a commander or if their spawns are for all commanders

I do think there should be a replensible limit to how many probes you have. Perhaps a really high numerical limit like 500.
I think you ought to be able to synthesize massive amounts quickly from materials. Perhaps a synthesis quantity slider.
Or have probes drain a small amount fuel.

Static (ish) USS - excellent, at last.
And the codex, rumours/hints I like very much. There is so much todo in this game, but rarely find it, without having to look on that 1000yr old internet thing.
The new exploration scanners look...interesting. Time will tell, but I can see good and bad in it. If it makes me feel more connected with the pretend galaxy, so much the better.
Dark planets. Night vision. Does it work on SRV as well?
The knowledge base looks superb, finding out about the background lore, written by people who know how to write (and more importantly edit) rather than the somewhat, er, varied stuff, you get from fans.
It all looks good, congrats devs.

If true, that is good news as I am not suggesting the new mechanic is bad and certainly those who wish to use it should be able to do so.
I'd like to know how you come to your conclusion though.
Turn off your targetting computer and use the force Luke!
