Galaxy chart and Sun /Planet descriptive and value guide required

G'day All,
getting on with the exploring in the Asp, Crikey there is a lot of Icy worlds out here.
I would like to obtain a Galaxy Chart so I can print it out and place on the wall.
Also a guide to what the general types of Suns and planets are, and what they are worth.
Can you point me to where I can obtain a photo or diagram I can reproduce?

At the moment I'm scanning all I find, but as the Discovery scanner already does that. I believe it might just be worthwhile only Detail Scanning the more valuable planets.
But which are the more valuable planets?

Also I keep running into "Canister small scatchel data.. "
Then I note its illegal salvage,,, does that mean if I take it onboard as cargo I will be in trouble?

thankyou for any assistance
Yours Aye

Excellent Rockyrocket, thankyou. I will go and have this printed off.
Now all I need is a Chart of the Galexy, even if it's in segments so I can plot out my intended course instead of wandering around aimlessly.
Yours Aye

That is also out of date my friend :)
My holo icons chart, in my sig, is probably closest, but I fear that too is a tad old.

You have huge data to hand in by the end of the century when you get back :D
Make us an up to date chart?

I have updated the post above to reflect the current wiki...

I will have a huge data store...hopefully I have the willpower to step through it page by page and take notes on pay-outs per body-type :)

I probably will because I will just be thankful for being nice and safe in a star port...

I have not forgotten...it has probably gotten more imperative that I wing up with some fighter-types before I hit the bubble, now with rabid npcs flying around looking for shieldless explorers! ;)

Just head straight for a high security system with a station close to the star, Frawd...you'll be ok. I just got back myself and did this with no issues. Or give me a shout and I'll be happy to escort you in.

I have a couple of questions about values, if someone could give me some info ....

I read somewhere, but cannot relocate the post, that a basic discovery of a planet would yield 1/6 of it's value, with a minimum return of 500 cr per planet/body, without doing a detailed surface scan.

I know there are differences in the planet values listed on Wiki and elsewhere, and also a huge range in values even for the same type of planet depending on it's size, terraformability etc. But let's take a hypothetical example :-

A neutron star, worth, on average, 36,000.

If I do a detailed scan of it, I would get 36k and if I was the first discovery, I would get 54k.

If, however, I only do a basic system scan, would I get 6k or only 500 for the neutron star?

With high metal content worlds, there is a chance they are terraformable.

If the above 1/6 rule applies, would I get 1/6 of a basic high metal content world regardless of whether it is terraformable or not or does the background algorithm know it is terraformable and give me 1/6 of it's terraformable value? And would this also affect the 1/6 value of terraformable water worlds?

Does the 1/6 rule exist or not?

Thanks.

I don't know about whether the 1/6 rule is correct. What I do know is this:

Basic Scan Value + Detailed Surface Scan Value + First Discovered Bonus = Full Discovery Reward

Plus we don't get a first discovery tag if we don't do a detailed surface scan.

I don't know the relative values, however.

I've managed to track down the post mentioning 1/6 of average value for a basic "honk".

https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/162478-Is-honking-worth-anything/page2

It's the last post on page 2, from July 2015.

Can anyone confirm this for me and let me know whether it is applicable in 2.1?

Thanks

Correct to the best of my knowledge. 1/6 for basic, 2/6 for scan, 3/6 for detailed scan.

There's a chart of the galaxy linked in my sig.

I am confused now. The only difference between the basic, intermediate, and advanced scanners is the range. Hence, the number of bodies it will catch with one scan. A detailed surface scan adds an extra bonus in credits and potentially the tag, and the tag adds yet another extra bonus.

Edit: Someone needs to scan a system with the scanner only, sell it, mark the rewards, go back to the system and scan with detailed surface scanner, return and sell it, and then check if the ratio is the same and what it is.

Not the discovery scanner level. You get a 1/6 of the value for the honk (what ever level of discovery scanner). A third of the value (on top of the 1/6 from the honk) for scanning without a Detailed Surface Scanner and the final half if you do the scan with a Detailed Surface Scanner. Then a 50% bonus for first discovery on top of that where applicable.
