Fully scanning a system - bonus?

I did search the net and this forum but couldn't see anything from the last 12 months.

Is it confirmed whether we receive a bonus for fully scanning a system and are there separate bonuses for full FSSing and DSSing?

Many thanks in advance.

I think I've read somewhere that this is True. I'm sure enough that I've read that, because I've changed my "exploration"-procedure some month ago so that I now always fully scan every system with 6 or less bodies. Even if these are just Rocky or Icy balls in space.
But I also think that it was just for undiscovered systems, so you need to be the first to deliver the full system scan data.

Bonus for fully scanning system and another bonus for fully mapping the system. I can't remember the figures per body, obviously more per body for fully mapping.

EDIT: No it isn't just for undiscovered systems or even unmapped bodies. You already get a bonus per body for first discovery and first mapped - those are separate.

2nd EDIT: "bonus of 1000 per body for fully scanning a system, and another bonus of 10000 per mappable body for fully mapping a system" which I think is still valid, taken from:

UPDATE Sep 2022 Since 3.3, payouts have been tweaked. For stars, broadly speaking, the basic calculation remains: (k + (m * k / 66.25)) Where k is: k Star 1200 NS/BH 22628 WD 14057 The main star also gets a bonus for honking based of the value of all the other bodies in the...

Note: asteroid clusters count as "bodies" for the complete scan bonus calculation. You get 1000 cr per cluster included in the system completion bonus. Also note: you don't get any bonus if you omit scanning the clusters, even if the FSS tells you the "system scan is complete".

The 10000 credit per object bonus only includes mappable objects. So if for example you find a system with just 1 star and 6 planets, and you run the FSS and scan everything, that's a 7000 credit scanning bonus. If you then go and Map (DSS) everything in the system, that's a 60000 credit bonus - not 70000, because you can't map the star.

These bonuses are granted whenever you scan/map an Unexplored system, whether the system is previously explored (and Tagged) or not. First Discovered and First Tagged bonuses are on top of this.

Thanks for the clarifications … I was wrong with some of my assumptions but I want to think that my uttering them lead to the correction of the same
