Planets which are candidates for terraforming that we can land.

If these planets are very rare as some of us regard are, should they not be paying out the most in credit on scanning than any other object in the Elite Dangerous Galaxy?

As far as I remember from my exploration voyages, terraformable landables are not uncommon enough to warrant any special bonus.

There are heaps of HMC/rocky planets in the habitable zones and many of those are landable.

With 4 years of exploration under my belt and talking to others on fleet comm with same experience, they are very rare and what goes in the habitable zone does not reflect what goes on in the Galaxy as a whole. So when exploring you never see one for weeks on end and yet ELW/WW and Ammonia planets are seen every few days, paying out large credit and they are also in mass within the habitable zone and there are more of them than there are Planets which are candidates for terraforming that we can land on, within that habitable zone.

I am not sure we are talking about the same thing here.

Habitable zone is a specific zone within a specific system where planets suitable for life would most probaly be found orbiting a specific star. ED Discovery tells you the boundaries of the habitable zone upon a scan of a star.

Why would anyone pay for the info that a stupid amount of LY away a planet can be terraformed for no reason and a stupid amount of resources? Its like selling the location of a broken guitar in the Sahara desert...

Objectively speaking, terraformable planets get a lot more valuable when there's an Earthlike world nearby. The earthlike creates a base of operations and a population whose expansion will both require and enable the development of other potentially habitable worlds.
