There are some major bugs, it would seem, in the process of capturing and/or selling scanning data from your explorations. You may be missing out on lots of dosh. If you care about missing out on lots of credits, watch very carefully when you sell.
Some of the problems are on this thread: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=114546&p=1778689&viewfull=1#post1778689 It is posted in 'the right place' and thus you will not see it unless you go looking for it. Hence this one in here.
I have seen one very major problem, and one that may not be quite so bad. I have just sold 9m+ Cr worth of data from a 15K LY round trip. Because I was checking stuff, it still took me ages to sell. Problems I noticed:
1. I have sold scanning data for a system, and got the pop-up telling me that I was the first finder, and telling me the bonuses I got. Problem was, each bonus it listed was 0. I got this selling the very first Earth-like that I found (BLU THUA XV-E D11-26 1). I think I got the discovery amount, but this was before I started to check more carefully, as I had not realised there was a problem at this point.
2. On many occasions, objects that I had definitely scanned close up were NOT shown as having been discovery scanned on the selling page. It was usually the case that some objects on the page were shown as scanned, when others were not. Ender reports that this always happens when there are more than 17 objects in the system (which is usually the case when there are gas giants or asteroids in the system). I have screen prints that I will wave at the support team showing systems where you can see that I scanned the object on the system page, but the selling page said no, and thus there was no bonus - though I think that I probably got the correct discovery amount for them. This seems to be a very common bug - once I had spotted it, and was looking out for it, I saw that it happened a lot. I think that they should be able to spot the problem with an appropriate database query, so I hope it will be fixable reasonably quickly, though it could get problematic if it takes too long and more people scan those systems - I guess it depends what they squirrel away in said database.
Anyway: If you want to avoid losing credits you have earned, check carefully. I suggest that as soon as you see a selling page for a system where not all the objects that you know you scanned say 'discovery scanned', take a picture of that page, the page that follows with the bonuses (if you got any) and a system view with one of the objects you scanned but got not bonus for selected. And bombard support.
Keep exploring, Commanders. Boldly go where everyone and his dog has gone before!
