Hi - I'm getting a discrepancy between the estimated scan values reported by ED Discovery and by EDSM. The values on EDSM are three times the values reported on EDD. It's been like that for a few days now.
Hi, I wanted to connect EDDiscovery to EDSM, so I tried to register an EDSM account but EDSM reports 'That commander name is not available'.
Can I try a different name (not my commander's name) and still be able to upload to EDSM?
Anyone able to help with that? Thanks.

Sorry the formatting lost the phrase: 'That commander name is not available'.
Hi!
Since the last update of the console updater(cu) I frequently get 'The Frontier Auth Service is currently not available, please try again later.' when trying to start the cu. Sometimes, after 10 tries or so, i can connect to the frontier services. I tried to start it on different systems (Mac, PC, Android,..) and at different times of day. Even after disconnecting and reconnecting the edsm account to the frontier services via the ps4 authentification screen, there's is this issue. Yesterday (3rd of march 2019), the cu looked like it was up and running, but I cannot see neither my flight route nor the materials.
If the problem is on my side, I'm out of ideas what to do to solve it.
I worked pretty cool until the last update and as a PS4 - User I really appreciate this tool and want to thank you for all the effort you put in that thing!

Do you know your resolution? Will fix it on Monday!
Thanks.

Hi - I'm getting a discrepancy between the estimated scan values reported by ED Discovery and by EDSM. The values on EDSM are three times the values reported on EDD. It's been like that for a few days now.
So, I'm guessing that the difference is that EDSM is adding the First Discovered to the FSS + DSS totals!
Hi Anthor,
I understand it's not top priority but did you have a chance to look into this yet ?
I'm confused by the scan values too ...
First instance, I've just scanned an ELW wit the FSS and in the EDSM Dashboard it has already ticked the "first discovered" and "first mapped" multipliers applied ... but I haven't mapped the planet yet.
Any clues ?
Hello fellow Commanders,
Unfortunately I made a massive mistake with my PC EDSM account which I have had since Jan 17, 2016. I was trying to access my linked XBOX account and I inadvertently converted my PC account into a XBOX account.
Is there a way of converting it back into a PC account? I am loathed to having to delete and start again and then re-linking every other utility that had access to it.
Your help and assistance in this matter will be greatly appreciated.

The Frontier Auth Service is currently not available, please try again later.
Seem to be getting this a lot lately. This afternoon it won't work at all. I'm trying to use the console updater and this is the error that keeps popping up. Any ideas?
It means the value shown takes into account that from an EDSM point of view, you'll be the first mapper.
If it not ticked, then some else already mapped it, and the value is less.
Okay, so it's the *potential* maximum scan value, not what I'll (roughly) expect to get ?
Is it not possible to use the "SAAScanComplete" event to provide a better guestimate ?
Events doesn't provide any value, SAAScanComplete is used to get a first mapped tag on the bodies.
So if no users did it before you, it's the expected value you can get when mapped and sold.
Do a FSS scan of an ELW
Scan value = ELW_VALUE_BASE_VALUE
If ("First Discovered"), scan value *= FIRST_DISCOVERED_MULTIPLIER
If ("SAAScanComplete"), scan value *= FIRST_MAPPED_MULTIPLIER
... etc ...
Sorry, didn't explain my point clearly ... I understand the journal entry itself doesn't have any values.
But couldn't the estimated formula only add the "first mapped" multiplier if the SAAScanComplete has been received ?
For example:-
Code:Do a FSS scan of an ELW Scan value = ELW_VALUE_BASE_VALUE If ("First Discovered"), scan value *= FIRST_DISCOVERED_MULTIPLIER If ("SAAScanComplete"), scan value *= FIRST_MAPPED_MULTIPLIER ... etc ...
For the real values you earn, it's all in the exploration dashboard, which recalculate values when needed depending on other users scans.
