Anyway GO HOME MICHAEL AND ENJOY CHRISTMAS, GET DRUNK
Agreed! Tell the boss man that you guys deserve a welcome break.
So FDEV, when do the Explorers get some attention?
- Thread starter Nutter

Nobody deserves it more than you and your whole team. Thanks for a great game, and enjoy the offtime!
Well said, OP. Have some +rep

Have a excellent one Michael. Seasons best wishes to all at FD

Have a fantastic Xmas, and maybe we'll see you in space, but remember space is very very big
If I was looking to commission a star port and expand our reach I would not be happy with anything less than 20 ly which any ship can do with the right drive! But also 1,000's of ly away would be good to know but would have to wait for more expansion!
Enjoy a well deserved break, Michael - you and all the development team.
We know that the ongoing enhancement of all parts of the game is as important to you as to us.

Since you're keeping an eye on this thread, can you comment on the status of hyperspace coordinates discovery?
For a while it seemed like it'd be where most of the skill and work of explorers would really be, and what would limit human expansion. But as it turned out, the "you can go anywhere within your FSD range" mechanic remained and that allowed everyone to go anywhere in the galaxy with the core being reached in a week. So now I can't really see that mechanic removed to make way for hyperspace coordinates discovery, and it seems it would then be limited to a few dark systems here and there...
Or is the thing going to be scrapped completely?

c'mon now. I've been interdicted by an eagle without a fuel scoop over 300ly from colonized space. No way he could have followed.
"He must have come from that small moon over there look."
"That's no moon..."

Merry Christmas to you and all Frontier's people !
Bumping this thread - I'd like to repeat my question to Loki_666:
You claimed that the first to explore a system or planet gets a higher price than later discoverers.
Do you have any empirical findings to support your claim?
I would really like to know before I go far out into uninhabited space.

I can answer that for you..
That was the intention, however currently everyone gets the same payment, everyone is 'first' (Currently) - See my sig for my explorers guide for other info.

Has anyone noticed a recent change in exploration?
I jump into an undiscovered star system. Previously, if there were planetary bodies/things out of my basic discovery scanner range, only the star would show.
Now, I get things like resource extraction points over 1000LS showing obviously around some planet that is not showing at all until I get in range and discovery scan it.
Before, we'd get clues from ships (don't know how that works, but I assume it's a transponder type thingey we're getting signals from), or from stellar parallax (the in system objects move against the background of distant stars when you move alongside them).
So has exploration been dumbed down for noobs (like bounty hunting and the 10 second bounty award "reservation")?

The way I explain it is that stations, like ships, emit a signal that is picked up. which notifys you of their location. Only happens in populated systems. But I would like it if everything was hidden, but alas, this is how it is.
