How do exobio rewards work when scanning with SRV/ship?

[IstvaanDCIV]

I've been doing exobiology on over 300 planets across more than 100,000 light years, but I'm still puzzled as to how those redeemables are awarded, not the stuff you get by scanning plants on foot and then going into Vista Genomics, I mean the codex vouchers you can redeem without leaving your ship.

Sometimes I just get a codex entry, other times I get a voucher worth 2500 credits, and sometimes I get a voucher worth 50,000. Sometimes I get both a voucher and Codex entry. The only pattern I've been able to determine is that you get one voucher per species/genus in each system. Although some species (such as bacteria) don't seem to offer any reward at all beyond the first time I ever scan them, hence I usually don't bother. But species like fungoida, concha, and tubus prove to be reliable sources of vouchers and are thus usually worth scanning while still in the SRV.

How does this work exactly? Does anyone know?

The first time you scan one you get the big voucher and the Codex entry. Subsequent scans on a new planet give you the small voucher. You only get one voucher for each planet so repeating scans on the same planet will just give you a message that you've already seen it.

Per region......

Yeah it's the same as for the old codex system, you actually get nothing for the bio except a small reward and entry in your codex, just like geo. Keep in mind you get the same codex reward if you scan a new bio on foot, but the data sent to third party sites is not as useful, so I always scan both with the foot sampler and ship/srv scanner.
