"No exploration data to buy"

I'm at Sol and accepted a mission to a system within 20ly that I never visited. Normally the star icon on the galaxy map would let me purchase system data but it doesn't. This is happening with every system within 20 ly of Sol.

That's just the game and the fact that it's a 1984 single player mindset transplanted wholesale into a semi-sort-of-multiplayer not-quite-an-MMO setting.

Hundreds of thousands of commanders could have scanned those systems and all sold the resulting data to the allegedly galaxy-wide exploration network we're all feeding, but it isn't available for you to buy for the exact same reason that you can't see market prices at the station next door: the universe is unbelievable, has a molecule-deep "economics" simulation, and that's the way it was on the BBC Micro B.

Ignore the troll, it worked recently so may have been broke by one of the recent patches. Report it as a bug and hopefully we will get a fix.
