Stellar bodies do interefere with scans

[Badben]

***Edit: I have since been proven wrong, stellar bodies do not interfere with scans (too bad) it was a mistake on my part. Real moral is don't start you're scan before you drop out of hyperspace, it can screw up the scan.


This may make me look like a total noob, but I'd actually been wondering about this for quite a while, but never seen any direct evidence for it until now. I often do a discovery scan as I'm fuel scooping and usually find everything in a system if it's within range of my intermediate discovery scanner, or so I thought. Here's a video that shows that if a stellar object is on the other side of a sun you are close to, the scan can definitely miss it.

I hope this is fact, because I think it is awesome.
Respect to FD if they actually implemented this.

If you look at this video you will see OP started his 1st scan before the entry star was auto found, that could be the problem with this particular scan and nothing to do with one star covering another ?

Looks more like the classic Double Honk-dilemma. When the first honk don't work or are delayed due to network and/or backend server misfire.

Happens all the time, same kind of issue like the double DSS scan.

yeah, that definitely could be the problem, but it would be cooler if stellar bodies did get in the way though.

Its as dognosh says, he started his scan immediately, he probably had his finger on the trigger during hyperspace, I used to do it when I was in my first days, week, of exploration.
My thinking was that it would speed up the process, it doesnt, as shown there it can slow you down as for some reason it can prevent the ADS from finding anything.
Leading to a rehonk.
I found that arriving in system, waiting for the star to be discovered then honking the horn is actually the better way, 99% of the time it finds everything, with the occasional time you have to rehonk.
It has nothing to do with the star interfering with the ADS, its just net code, lag, etc etc etc

It certainly would be, because it would add a level of mystery, and the unexpected to the game. There would always be doubt if you really knew everything there is to know about a certain system and that is how it should be.

It just makes me wonder how many interesting planets, stars or other celestial bodies I missed out on because I honked wrong and it showed no bodies other than the star.
I have also had it show x amount of bodies discovered but no have them show up on the scanner or system map so had to rehonk.

Looks like typical server lag upon entry if you ask me. Honk again and that's it.
