Money really doesn't matter. I don't like the attitude. The traders always win. Who could buy FDL after 1.2? Only those with hundreds of millions. Where is justice? Explo guys again loose. Cancel the compensation for FDL owners or refund explorers. That's my point. I'll accept both.

Rules must be the same
No retroaction. Or the fair one.

It is not my buisness. Really. It's about fair play only. If you suddenly change smth, without any of notification be prepared. You refund ship expences? Very well - refund everything since 11th of March. Thats logical.
I sold around 20M Cr on Sunday and Monday. Sure I would have liked to get twice that, but it is no biggie, really. I already had a pile of money sitting there not being used since I had the Asp up to the spec I wanted, and unless they come up with a new even better exploring ship, there is no ship I want more than the Asp until I get to an Anaconda, if I ever do (though I will probably play with a Fer-de-Lance, just for nostalgic value). So I'm not getting all worked up about it.
Now I AM getting worked up about the missing bonuses from the first finder bonus bug. Poor timing on a buff/nerf is one thing. The game stealng credits from me because of a bug is quite another. So even though I don't NEED the missing bonus, I will carry on agitating about it.
Funny things, people.

Although funny, what OP means is this:
Boss: Johnson, we made a mistake and have under payed you for a year. You're getting a 10k raise this year.
Johnson: Great, thanks. But since you are correcting something that should have been there in the first place, shouldn't you compensate last year salary as well?
Boss: ...
Johnson: Boss..?
Boss: ...erm.
No. It's a bitt different.
Boss: Jones. We made a mistake in sallary during the last year. Financial department will recieve compesation
Jones: And exploration department? Seems we have the same mistake.
Boss: Sorry guys, for you - higher salary since the next week.
If you want to make an argument that I can give some credit to, you could point out that while bounty hunters and traders have infinite opportunities to reap the benefits of a role rebalance, exploration data has an absolute limit. That limit is very, very high, but it's still there. I can always just go to the same RES and enjoy the new bounty values, but explorers can't re-explore for the new values.
For the sake of argument, let's say someone explored and sold data on 50% of the explorable items in the game. Now the rewards double. That player can now only gain 75% (Half the value of the previous 50% and the full value of the remaining 50%) of the new total exploration value of the game. It does technically put newer explorers at an advantage.

How do you know this wasn't a change brought on by feedback from 1.2 post launch? There's really no point in feeling cheated about something that you had no control over, and that was very likely a recent decision as opposed to something that may have been in the Beta last week. There's been a lot of talk from some corners of late about balancing the earning potential of various professions, it's very possible that this was done as a result of those requests. Don't let it get you down. Use that as motivation to increase your knowledge of the universe, and profit from it at the same time.
Go ye forth and discover, young Dragon.
What mistake? You were paid a certain amount for services rendered. Now the NPC market for data has changed, resulting in a pay raise for you.
There was no *mistake.* Prices for goods and services, as well as salaries, change. That's normal.
If you sell a banana today for $1, and tomorrow bananas cost $2, you don't get to charge all of your past customers an extra dollar for every banana they ever bought from you.
Hmm... can I restart my character and rescan the few systems I've already scanned, but for double the money? <grins>
So let me get this straight - FD have just increased your earning potential as an explorer, taking nothing away from you in the process, and this is not good enough? You want them to give you the difference in what you sold a few days ago to what you would have made if you sold it today? If you bought a new car today and then next week the same car was reduced in price by a few hundred would you go back to the dealer and demand a refund saying it's not "fair" and they should pay you the difference?
And where are you getting this arbitrary cut off point of "since 1.2 dropped" from? What if this exploration data update had been implemented in a patch next week... would you still say it's not "fair" and demand a refund back dated to the last major update?
Be grateful man - FD have now made exploration that little bit more profitable which is a good thing.
My decision to explore the core and return a week after 1.2 hit has got to be the best decision I've ever made (in game).
Why FD refund FDL bought yesterday? They didn't use it then? They didn't have money or what? Thats the main problem I see.
You didn't lose anything
But according to your reasoning, i will complain to my employer tomorrow about getting a raise last moth.
I'll demand compensation for not getting paid enough for the last 3 years
It seems like it, 3 days of fringe hopping, and i didn't see a single NPC.

As an explorer, I find it somehow strange that people now pay so much attention to how much money they make by exploration when trading is far more lucrative, and an average lengthy exploration trip could still easily bring in at least a couple of millions of credits already before this latest patch. Obviously this is just my subjective view on the matter - but just out of personal curiosity, I'd like to ask: what exactly does it matter if one gets X credits more or less this week than next week? Are you exploring mainly to get money?
