I wonder if it's repeatable for the same celestial body? i.e. Have several names on it in quick succession

Good question. The answer could be very useful info (especially for the developers), but I cannot verify this. I'm currently in deep space.

I asked this also in the main bug thread. Hopefully there'll be a brave investigator to test on some known cases of this. (Not me, I've been sidelined because RL.)

I want to comment. I really do but I fear once I start I will not stop and not be allowed on here any more.

So I will summarise my feelings thusly:

Probely not related but found a planet with NO rings but the data says it has =O

1st is data
2nd is from ship
3rd more distant view.

Is there?

I mean is there?

There are bound to be. What better way of griefing someone than taking away something that was uniquely theirs?

Going to keep on checking Sagitarrius A* to see if it gets reverted as a reference point for this serious bug.. until i see it reverted, really can't and won't take any discovered by tag seriously any more.

Ripster · Jun 16, 2015

It WILL get fixed.

I really strongly believe that.

And Griefers no problem - IF they can be bothered to GO THERE

Give it a few minutes or so.

will keep my eye on it

just spotted a few other problems, local faction control is all over the place doesn't compare to yesterday. I see a faction that lost control of a system a few days ago now has 60%+ control and one that had 50%+ is now down to 19%???
edit: did faction control reset to default? it looks that way to me!

If these bugs are there then we might be better off not playing until the next patch is live as I do not want peoples efforts to be wasted.

or just play it as a game, enjoy it and live with what amounts to not life threatening consequences !! Come on guys - it's a game

Haha, I went exploring to avoid the bugs and issues from 1.3 update thinking I'd be safe miles away from the core and the rest of the playerbase. It would appear I am a fool.

OMG - apologies I played this game when it 1st ever came out - we are LUCKY we can play such a FANTASTIC game. I feel lucky, maybe I am just old

When you feel lucky, when you feel luck is actually really really good thing, then you are old

(But once you're over the hill, you pick up speed.)

LOL orange

I remember bribing my older brother to program a macro esque version of card game statis pro basketball. So I am pretty slow to call out anyone that developes such an awesome game as this.

They walk away and we look pretty stupid and GAMELESS.

I never did take it seriously; only the +50% credits. In fact, I think the whole "first discovered by" thing is detrimental to the game. I think FD could use this opportunity to remove it from the game altogether.
