Exploratioon 3x com goal

So it would be nice if FDEV could shed some light on this situation for us as multiple discords are up in arms about it as i am myself being about 30k lty out from the bubble on my way back I am now hearing Betancourt no longer has universal cartographics option but when you ask other commanders if they are getting 3x payout at other/any station Just basically receive a "not sure" in response .. So for the commanders out in the black that would prefer to just hop to sag A to sell if its possible I would like to know if someone could clear this up .. Thank you in advance.

Current workaround is setting the language to english to get the UC to appear, and according to D2EA here:

The payout is indeed x3 on Betancourt only, but not shown in UC.
 
I was getting 3x the UC payout at Betancourt 2 days ago. I got Elite in Exploration that way. It did not show in UC, but if you watched the credit amount get updated, it was 3x of the value shown in UC. I did have to relog to see my Exploration rank get to Elite, but it did work for me two days ago. I am no longer in that system to see if it still working today however.

In the Sell page shows the "normal" payout,but if you check the Income you'll notice it's been payed 3x,it was the same also during the CG,by the way this applies only if you were subscribed in the CG.
 
I understood it that way,I may be worng though.
Fair enough.
Global rewards were always ... well, global, so it would be weird if that would work like you said.
Modified DDS was special reward for top 75% participants and you probably misunderstood Tier rewards as being part of that too.

top 50% here headed to betancourt instead of center just to be safe
 
Please refer to my message in a different post quote below. You will get the 3x CR at Betancourt Base, but it no longer counts towards your Exploration Rank.

[EDIT] Just logged into the game and Universal Cartographics IS still available at Betancourt Base, Though i am in the English Language version of the game since someone mentioned the language setting may have an effect.

Hey All,

This is just a PSA to anyone who is wondering whats going on, and a warning for anyone who see's videos out advising of this.

Recently some community contributors have posted some videos about a limited time way of speeding up your progression through the Exploration Ranks thanks to the bonus' from a recent Community Goal.

Unfortunately it seem this has recently (today's Patch?) been patched out. While you will still get the 3x credits, it will no longer count towards your Exploration Rank progression.

I just handed in 64M in exploration data, and while I was paid the 192M as promised, when looking in the Codex at the my statistics for Exploration Data, It only shows an increase of 64M. I decided to see if i could confirm this to be the case and so just did a quick test flight, flew out ~80Ly from Betancourt Base and scanned down the first planet I came across. Returned to Betancourt Base, my Credit balance was 2,075,906,923 and my profits from Exploration was sitting at 278,681,459. I went to UC and sold 84,460 CR of exploration data. My Credit Balance is now 2,076,160,303 and my profits from exploration is now 278,765,919. Do the math for yourself. Sorry guys, congrats to al those who got in early. Commiserations to all the sad saps like me who didn't beat the Patch.

That 64M Cr worth of Exploration should have got me to Elite, but alas not this time my friends. o7

If you want to see video footage of it working before the patch today, check out the following video from Down To Earth Astronomy.

I'll bear that in mind in the future and not bother doing the CG then 🙂
That's your choice but if everybody took that attitude there would be no global rewards. ;) In this case if you participated you were getting x4 payouts during the CG, so still a better benefit that anyone who just wanted to profit off our work.
 
So I can confirm as of 10/16 (eveningtime in the US) that for the english client the UC console still shows up and appears to pay out bonuses in credits but not the same amount in experience. got lots of money but after 70-90 systems cashed in (what looked like) 82m worth of charts, got about 190m worth of actual credits hit my balance. while on the Explorer rank side, went from 10% into Pathfinder to 69% into Ranger.
