Leaving astronomical objects unexplored has no effect on price of system info?

[Lethargus]

As the title says, wondering if anyone else has noticed this. A quick forums search didn't show anything. I arrived in a system and discovered about 13 objects. Explored 3 of them before hitting the local station. Noticed the local station had a price of 6,561cr on its own system (obviously can't sell it there) so I left and explored 6 more objects. Returned and the price was still 6,561cr. So if going after exploration money am I just wasting my time actually exploring each object in a system? Should I be moving on once I've confirmed, but not explored, all the objects in a system?

I believe what was discovered in Gamma was that the most money was derived from the initial scan (then selling), followed by subsequent detailed scans (then selling) rather than doing it all at once.

I could be wrong, but that's my recollection.

Ok,thanks. Was just surprised that scanning didn't change the price at all. Wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something or seeing an anomaly.

If they were airless, rocky/icy worlds there is no value from detailed scans since they are not desirable planets. However if it is ever possible to find rare discoveries then there may be a point in scouring every rock.

Were the objects you scanned asteroid clusters?
There is currently no value for them.

You no longer need to discover, sell, scan, sell, that bug has been fixed.
In general, if discovering something is worth X, scanning with a basic scanner is worth 2X (for a total of 3X) and scanning with a detailed scanner is worth an additional 3X( for a total of 6X).

They were planets and moons. Literally no increase in value of data sold. But I'm just using the ship scanner to get rid of the unexplored tag, not a detailed surface scanner (can't afford one of those yet.) This suggests I should be shooting through systems at a much faster pace until I can afford a surface scanner, I guess. Though I have no idea where I would fit one in my current ship...

What I found in Gamma was that the detailed surface scanner bonus payout for scanning bodies was included when you sold your data, but it wasn't showing in the sell price - so it looked as though it hadn't done anything, but I bet when you sold the data your balance increased by more than it said it would sell for.

The value depends greatly on what the planet is. Earth-like planets are worth a LOT more than most others. Airless rocks nobody much cares about.

Really? That would be interesting.
I'm inbound with 70 odd detailed systems data and need to check that.
Did not notice it last trip.
