Level 2/3 scans - not in the game yet, or??

[Unfit]

i have the 1.5mill advanced scanner and the detailed surface scanner on a cobra kitted out for exploring. as it stands you will have to sell a massive amount of cartographic data to recoup the 1.5mill (getting anything from 200 creds for a single star system to 12000 creds for a system with 55 bodies in it)

as for the detailed surface scanner , it would be much more enjoyable if the time took to 'discover' the contents was much much quicker, its a very slow and tedious process right now.

have explored something like 770 systems so far and gained 750k in creds so it does add up over time....

You must be doing something wrong. 770 systems should pay out on average (770 x 6500) 5.005.000 creds.

You must not be surface scanning... Most systems with 20+ bodies bad me 20 to 35K... Just surface scanning a metal rich world gets you 5k alone. A gas giant 1k alone... and the better planets even more per body.

Where do you come up with that 6500 average?

I've only done 190 systems so far but doing the math, it shows I'm averaging 3,224 per. now that's going up a little now but I don't see that 6500 number happening and yes, I've done 40k-90k+ systems which kind of offsets the few 200cr ones I did early on.

I noticed that if you're scanning a belt cluster that it will continue to loop the scanning->completed sound over and over after you've finished the scan if you just leave it there. Reported it as a bug since I tried the same with other bodies and didn't get the same.

It's abundantly clear that level 2/3 scans are not implemented yet.

yeah ..no...but still ..rewards are ridicolously low for the time investment

intermediate scanner+detailed surface scanner

The most obscene one was a system with a good amount of bodies and 2 stellars bodies which were distanced 360.000 LS from each other
it took me nearly 45 minutes to scan em all and what did i get ... not even 10k . YEAH 10 K ...screw this really
