In my short time in 3.3 yesterday, I being out in the dark regions of space was learning the new Exploration keybinds and learning how to scan a system with the FSS (took a lot less time than I was expecting, including key binds) and also using the new Discovery Scanner.
I have a few questions though. First I've found a couple of Notable Stellar Phenomena in several systems. When I have, I just target the closest planet to it, fly there and then in my NAV menu, target the phenomena as I would with any other signal source, etc.
Once I get into the Stellar Phenomena, I just do the scan and they it tells me what I found and that it's been added to the Codex. When I open the Codex, I see that I've discovered this or that phenomena, where it was, what sector, how many others have been discovered there, etc.
My first question is, is that all I need to do? Is there anything I can do with the things I find at this point? I don't have weapons to shoot at them, not cargo space to collect anything, but once I do one scan of the phenomena, is that all I need to do? Or do I need to target each object and try and scan those as well for other things?
Second, and this goes kind of broader. Since it's been added to the Codex, do I still have to return to a station to cash in the discovery and get it officially recognized? Or is it automatically now updated and remains discovered even if I blow up or someone else finds it and gets to a station before me?
Along with that last point, do we still have to 'cash' in our discovered planets and systems to get them tagged and cashed out as we did before and endure the endless pages of getting our bonuses and values, etc?
Haven't had much time to look into this, so just curious...
