Level 2 / Level 3 Scans

Sorry for bringing this up again, but google didnt give me sufficient answer.
Is this already working, or is it still WIP/reversed/not functional? Because I just came back from a trip, earned few lovely millions, but I see 0 level3 scans and as I understand, I should have plenty of as I have detailed surface scanner on board...
 
Last I heard Lvl 2 was supposed to be basic scans, and Lvl 3 detailed scans... but also that these seem reversed.

But really... who knows.
 
I think its still bugged tbh. I've been out exploring for the last 2 weeks (about 200 systems fully scanned) and my detailed scan number is stuck at around 500 or so - from my last trip.
 
ah, so if Micheal remembers well, I should have a lot of numbers in Level 3, not in Level 2 as I scanned plenty of bodies by detailed surface scanner, and even more pinged when moved along?
well, Michael doesnt remember well or it doesnt work yet... :)) (if he reads this, then sorry, no offense meant :) )
Lvl 3 shows 0 while level 2 shows plenty...
 
I have the same problem. I have a detailed surface scanner, I select planets, point my nose at them, wait for the scanner to bring up info. The planet gets credited as first-discovered-by [me] when I sell the data, but I have 0 level-3 scans.

Aren't the levels just A for E?
 
I assume it's all just a bug, but I like to think that a level-3 scan requires visiting the surface, hence we're still a year from being able to do that :)

Your level 2 scans are rising, though? DSS scans are level 2, regular scans are level 3 right now.

How do you get a regular scan? I have zero level-3 scans, and there are plenty of systems where the hyperspace-arrival star appears on my instruments from proximity before I sound the fog-horn. If proximity discovery is not a regular scan, how do you do a regular scan? Do you have to have be without a DSS module?

Definitely bugged, handing in loads of data last night. There was also a post from FD confirming it is still bugged.

Also it only updates after you sell the data.
 
Yupbi wrote this after selling data. If its officially still bugged then i can do nothing about this. Nvm setting up for another trip!
 
What Michael said the stats show, and what they actually show, are two different things. :) Mine certainly have no bearing on the number of detailed scans I've taken.

Still, at least they're no longer on zero... ;)
