Spend a few hours in HIP 15310 looking for the "anomaly" listed in the CODEX.
It doesn't seems to be there.
Found Purpureum Metallic Crystals (2,500 CR CODEX reward) at one Lagrange point and Rubeum Metallic Crystals (50,000 cr CODEX reward) at the other one.
Someone has an FC parked in the system locked up tight.

After a couple hours logging in and out I managed to get both accounts into PG and Winged up.
Hopped over to Alaunus because there is supposed to be a Q09 anomaly.
Scanned the system, found 2 NOTABLE STELLAR PHENOMENA and dropped both ships into it. the same one.
They ended up 20 ls away from each other and one found the anomaly for 50,000 CR and the other found Rubeum Metallic Crystals for 2,500 CR.
Locked on the wing signal and jumped the Rubeum over to the anomaly and the fun really started.
Couldn't even see the other ship or the anomaly. Just got a wing signal and a NAV Panel listing for the NSP 20 ls away.
Logged both accounts off.
Logged both accounts in. The ships were 44m apart, both could see the other one, both said they were in PG but I couldn't wing. In the SOCIAL menu both said the other was in SOLO.

Ok. After many many tries, I finally got both ships in to PG and Wing. The original NSP was about 2 ls away so I jumps both ships to it. Nothing there but Rubeum Metallic Crystals and no CR's.
The other NSP was about 4500 ls away so I jumped both ships over to it.
Very interesting. The first time all I found was one Q09 anomaly. This time I found a whole flock of them and BOTH ships got a 50,000 CR 1st discovery voucher when the ship that had not found them the 1st time scanned one of them.

Figured I had an hour to play the game but it took 45 minutes of logging in and out to get both ships into PG and wing.
Jumped over to 53 Aquarii to look at some kind of not yet confirmed Class "C" star.
Both ships got a message saying the "discovery was confirmed" but neither one got any credits.

Ok. More broken exploration. As I travel I set the GM to plot my course using only NON-VISITED" systems.
First stop on this leg was Wolf 871. When I got there, one ship showed the whole system unexplored and the other one showed only one planet unexplored.
The GM had showed the system completely unexplored for both ships.
Before the "F"... "C"ommoners update, if the GM showed the system unexplored, both ships would have found it unexplored OR if one ship had been there and done an incomplete exploration the other ship in the wing would have immediately gotten the data as soon as both ships were in the system. So only the single unexplored planet would have needed to be scanned by one of the ships in the wing.
What happened was that I scanned the single planet with the ship that needed it and then I had to scan the rest of the system with the other ship so it finally got all the system data.

Still in Wolf 871 and noticed that the "F"... "C"ommoner hanging around in the system was set to allow NOTORIOUS PILOTS to dock but had everything a pilot with a bad reputation would be interested in set to prohibited. Also 0 Tarrif. ???

Ok. Another wasted hour. with 45 minutes spent just getting both ships into PG and then into wing. Jumped to Ceramix to look at a DAV White Dwarf listed as UNCONFIRMED in the CODEX.
Again, before the jump both ships showed the system UNEXPLORED. After the jump one ship showed the system 100% and the other showed 51%. Did a scan and the White Dwarf was "CONFIRMED" but no credits for JUST ONE SHIP.
That ship now shows it confirmed in the CODEX and the other ship still shows it UNCONFIRMED in the CODEX.
-------------------------------------------11/15/20 ----------------------------------------------------
Ok, wasted enough time on this. Jumped out and back with the ship that isn't getting confirmation.
Full Scanned the system with both ships.
Flew up close enough that the proximity scanner should have kicked in.
One ships CODEX still shows the star type as UNCONFIRMED

Ok. Since the CODEX and Wing Exploration have been FC'ed, I have jumped out to Cancuma and got my Python Miners out of mothballs.
Plotted a course to a system about 235ly out of the bubble I mapped about a year ago that has both Icy and Metallic rings that did have hot spots for 8 of the hi value minerals plus Painite and Palladium. May look for some tritium also.
I have a full load of FIXED mining tools and since this is an investigative mission mostly to check out the PWA, I took the 4H FSD Booster so I am only 128 cargo space.
Plan to try and find some of everything and then haul it back to the Bubble and see if I can make a few credits while seeing what happens to the markets.

I have to admit, I admire your … well … let's say: efforts … From a certain perspective are you indeed blazing your very own trail. Kudos to that.

Well, This is what the game advertised as being possible. Complete non-linearity, the bane of every other game I have ever played in the nearly 50 years I have been playing "role playing" (yes, I am role playing a favorite fictional character) games.
Darklands from 1994 was my original favorite because it was the first one I know of that, while it does have an ending if you choose to do it, you can just spend forever exploring, trading and cleaning out witch conclaves. As your characters *age, you can replace them without losing anything except experience and some "learned skills" but with a 4 character party, it is relatively easy to protect the weak new member until they can fend for themselves.

* This is the most innovative idea ever put into a game. The characters age and as they do, while they may become better at things that require "wisdom", they lose physical strength so they become less capable in "melee combat".

Very interesting.
A two ring planet that on my original survey before the F___ C(ommonors) dump, had all but one of the high value minerals plus painite and platinum now only has LTD, Alax, Sere, Rhod, Paltinum, Painite but also Tritium.

Ok. After many many logout/login I finally got both ships into PG and Wing.
Dropped into the Tritium hot spot. So far not too bad.
Ships ended up about 5 KM apart but both had a rock light up bright right away.
Simply lasering one (NO PROSPECTOR) has released Tritium and 4 fragments has a hopper at 50%. This one also clearly has surface deposits.
I have not done anything with the other rock but there are visible fissures and I think surface deposits.

Ok. Had to fight to get both ships in PG and wing.
See this>>> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HV2PpFngs-UbsoLR-_Nzd8yvMr7z_b1u/view?usp=sharing
On the relog the ships were about 700m apart near the first rock.
Did a prospector and besides the stuff that could be gotten with a laser, there were 3 subsurface deposits. I don't think anything has changed with the subsurface mining. Still have to release the trigger when there is a yellow bar lined up with a peak. The marker moves at a steady speed.
Now comes some more strange stuff.
The prospector showed 24.% Tritium and I mined it to depletion collecting with both ships.
Then went off some distance with both ships scanning for a new rock.
The ship that didn't plant the prospector in the first rock accidentally locked the prospector and the rock was back at 100% but without the subsurface deposits so I mined it again.
Two rounds mining the same rock has yielded about 15 tons of refined Tritium.
Right now to me, it looks like mining Tritium is about like shooting fish in a barrel.
Going to look for a Core rock.

OK. Had another fight to get into PG and Wing.
BUT I didn't actually get there.

Everything said the ships were in PG and Wing but neither ship could see the other one.
Neither ship could see the others Prospector.
Neither ship could see the fragments the other knocked off.
Both ships mined the same rock which is also the same rock we mined twice in the previous post.

Ok. At least one and I think two or three have posted about the color/brightness/shape of rocks in a tritium Hotspot.

I have concluded that the color/brightness/shape are meaningless for tritium.
A selection of rocks. I have not yet found a CORE tritium but I have not seen anything that says they even exist.

That said, I am not sure why the F___ C(Ommoners) owners have their panties in a wad about the availability of Tritium. All but one rock of any color/brightness/shape I have prospected had recoverable amounts of Tritium.

I am off to look at Alexandrite.

Ok. Left the Tritium Hot Spot and went to an Alexandtite Hotspot. First bright rock had fissures LTD's a Subsurface Tritium which I didn't bother with. Second bright rock didn't and it was a significant amount of Bromolite but had some Tritium Surface deposits.
First rock failed to crack on the first set of charges with a charge load that used to crack rocks. Planted a High Power Charge In a High Strength fissure and got what should have been a very "Optimal" reading but on got 10 fragments. Blasted off the surface deposits and ended up with 11 tons and a bit of refined LTD's.
