FSS values?

[ReXxX]

Hi all, long time, no see

After being away from the game for nearly a year, I've once again returned to the black, and have begun exploring the galaxy again.

One of the new features for me, is the FSS. I love the fact that one doesn't need to SC for half an eternity to discover a system anymore.

There is, however, one thing I haven't been able to find any clear answer to, and as I couldn't find an answer anywhere I looked, I figured I'll ask all of you(sorry if this has been answered earlier):

When I scan/discover a body in a system, it frequently keeps scanning for 'noteable/explorable locations' on the surface of that body. This can take ~30 second for each of the ones that might have something on them. What I would like to know is: Does letting the scanner finish finding POI's on a body increase the payment for the discovery data of that body, or will the payout be the same either way?

I have, ATM, no intention of landing on any of these planets in order to scan/discover what the FSS found, no matter what it might be. So, with that in mind, will I lose any substantial amount of payment if I just skip waiting for the scanner to complete finding out if there is anything of note on the countless Ice Bodies out there?

Thanks in advance

No, it does not. You get the same payout regardless of letting the surface POI list populate.

Hi, personally I have never notice a reduction in credits for not waiting for the full scan.
I think it still scans in the background because not waiting for too many causes my FSS to lag and when I have checked a body afterwards it displays the Locations straight away.
hope this helps

Thanks, both of you This helps loads, and makes it a lot faster and easier to scan systems for me
