The idea is pretty simple, yet I think could be quite fun. Currently community goals focus almost exclusively on either combat operations of some sort or transporting large amounts of cargo. But what about community goals (perhaps longer lasting given how long it can take to go places) to actually explore? For example, "go explore x nebula" would send people over to a particular nebula where everyone would explore with, of course, larger payouts for scanning more versus less (but even just hitting each system with a discovery scanner should count towards the minimum.) Perhaps it could also include things like actually sending people to one particular landable world to explore those worlds (kind of like some of what we recently did with the stuff for the Guardians and perhaps with similar results -- finding lost alien structures with artifacts and etc as well as scan data) but further out there. (Some reasonable range and jump requirements should be set perhaps. It wouldn't be fair to send people out past the Formidine Rift for instance since many ships can't even get through and would have to go around the longest possible way.)
Exploration CGs

They do have exploration CGs. But it's more deliver exploration scans, person with the most scans delivered gets to the top. I do think they'd be better if they were scans specific to a region and there was a target number of systems that could be reached.
