Feedback: Don't care about being paid, we care about information. :|
Livestream 2: After listening to your feedback, we went back to the drawing board and decided you will get paid for just honking systems!
So yeah, we'll not be hunting for Stellar Forge oddities anymore, which is a shame since I believe it could work very well indeed with the new mechanic. Now the focus shifts to the planet surface and the POIs. They have to carry the interest now. Time will tell if they're able to do that.</insert>

When they mentioned the word "traveler" I knew they botched that part of it. I don't know whether they got the impression from the doofus yogurts on these boards who draw a blank when they have to read a post with a sentiment different from theirs and need to paraphrase that sentiment in terms they can comprehend but completely missed the point, or whether they just didn't have a solution.

how?? i'm happy with a general link or pointer since this has probably been suggested already, i just didn't wade through all the related threads ...
Yeah, various ideas in various threads, sorry, a bit weary of that one after those related threads you mention since I spent most of my time correcting people who have issues when they need to read English, so not going to dig that up again. After all, they might post again
edit: See, reading another thread you get morons like this:

i have to say...the codex sounds impressive.
i think i will enjoy watching the rumoured tab too (who finds Raxxla first?). Someday i will build an Anaconda for exploration...
so yes, thanks for this, cant wait for the other releases o.o
(though i still want a new SRV)

Looks neat.
Two things though, first I think that the orrery view could be a bit more chibi (compressed), and second (scratch this, I misremembered and am stupid and all that).

Absolutely; overall it's a huge positive from my perspective and from what I've seen as well. Very much looking forward to the beta!

Hmm, not entirely sure I agree here.
Yes, the quick overview has lost (or at least changed) a lot of information, but in order to explore the planetary surfaces / POIs you'll have to firstly have done a system scan on the body/bodies.
Once you've done that, the brand new Orrery will be even better at showing Stellar Forge oddities.
I do agree the rapid decision making on a per-system basis while traversing along a route is gone to some extent.

Most oddities are around gas giants. As it will be easy to identify gas giants, just concentrate on those and you could be fine. Yes it won't be as quick as before, but it could be more rewarding.
Irony intensifiesThere, fixed it for you..
Not sure which part you are not entirely sure you agree on
Hunting Stellar Forge oddities is a 1 in a lot of systems kind of deal. Since most systems don't have oddities, otherwise they wouldn't be oddities. You may inadvertently find odd systems now while looking for POIs, and yeah, if you scanned the entire system the system configuration is shown beautifully in the orrery, but the hunt becomes rather stale if you have to do this every system.
Fact of the matter is, the POIs need to be the thing that has to carry our interest for a long time. They will become the driving force. Time will tell whether they'll be able to do that.
I have to admit that, having watched last nights stream one of four and then Malic, I am slightly worried for our membership, although I keep telling myself this is FDev though - (well done chaps and chapesses)

Exactly none of this works if there are not enough interesting PoIs with interesting things to do before/during/after the visit to these PoIs. All we have really seen so far is improvements to scanning and recording not "exploration".
I like the scanning improvements but I would really like Frontier to tell us more about exploration as a whole, the full experience.

Is it best to return discovered data before the update?
Hi
Quick question that I thought of from watching the live stream, if we already have a large amount of discovered data (including surface scans) is it best to return to the bubble to hand this data in to get both the credits and the discovered tags as it appears to me (but happy to be wrong) that all the surface scan data I have collected so far will be replaced with the new probe scanning system, and therefore lost? Or will my surface scans so far (that aren't handed in) remain known to me and therefore I will get the 'mapped by' tag on my return after the update?

The hunting of Stellar Forge Oddities no longer being viable.Not sure which part you are not entirely sure you agree on
Although...
I do get that (the needle in a haystack thing). I do have to admit that most of the Stellar Forge Oddities I found was because I was travelling around the system to do DSS'ing (for whatever reason), and -then- finding strangeness once I got closer, saw the bodies, saw the orbit lines, etc.
I get it that there's *loads* of different things people consider "odd" or "interesting". We'll have to wait and see how many doors the new mechanisms have closed, and how many new doors they've opened, once we get to play with them ourselves.
The current impression I got is certainly that we'll get a lot of the pertinent information slower.
