“Rumoured” things to find - any idea how many or needle in a huge haystack?

Those few Lagrange clouds found in beta isn't exactly a big chunk of the stuff we can find. I guess those clouds will be pretty common (which I don't like because I would have loved more natural phenomenon) and once people stopped rushing to the beta findings, things will cool down and there will be more. The galaxy is big enough.
I doubt that all the discoverable things are listed in the codex. It's likely that only discoverys that are relatively common knowledge or are known by the community to exist, but may not know the location of. From a game development POV, to leave at least some things out for the players to find, seems a wiser move. Rather than just saying "hey here's all the games secrets. Now you know they exist go find them".

Just keep in mind the real gameplay gap we have in Elite.
Its good we have better ways to discover things, and its better that there are more things out there but if these turn out just to be photo opportunities procedurally dotted around the galaxy then what's the point. There is a tremendous opportunity here for Frontier to nail exploration if it leads to good gameplay things to do not simply things to see.

That is far too a reasonable and balanced view to have on these forums. Where are the pitchforks, where is the hyperbole, where is the "my immersion"?
The new trailer showed things in the Codex that were not found in Beta, some form of space born phenomenon that looked like some sort of bright white spiral. So for sure that is something not in the Beta. FDev also said they would hold things back from the beta. Sounds like they did, so it's not all gloomy. Still looking forward to finding new and existing features now we can map planets. I never found one geological or organic feature in game until I played the beta. It's as simple and Honk, Scan, Map - Fly directly to POI! Love it!
If you feel you have join a discovery gold rush to be first, then that is fine. I'll be enjoying the game at my own pace, and if I find something first then that is just a bonus. If a player finds something I find interesting, then I go take a look.
Same for me. Hope there'll be some rumours soon, and not just one or two. Otherwise it's like a whole flottila of Cmdrs will be racing towards that one rumour (which is kind of cool, though).
