Suggestion for discovery

[Ism]

There have been complaints about people scanning just the star of a system to get their name on it and nothing else in the system.
Early on I felt the same way, but understand the various reasons now of why CMDR's do it.

I have a suggestion that might encourage commanders to scan the whole system.......Add a bonus for a complete system scan (with exception of asteroid belts).

No bonus if the system has a lone star but a progressive bonus based on the difficulty of the system. Possibly as much as 500,000cr to 1,000,000cr.
One system I entered had 88 astronomical objects. That would be an example of a high bonus system.
And if possible, also take into consideration furthest object distance from jump point.

Just a suggestion, but it would encourage explorers to slow down and scan the entire system, or move along if they are searching specific astronomical objects.

I wonder why you excluded the asteroid belts... They should be part of the "full scan" reward!

I have no problem with people scanning only the "welcome star". They deserve the fact of having their name on it: they ARE the first who discovered it. As YOU deserve the fact of having your name on the earth-like planet YOU discovered in "their" system, since you are the first one to scan it. You scan first, you have your name written in front of it, no exception.

I would certainly appreciate bonuses on "full scan", though. I would appreciate any action done to have better revenues from exploration!

i think the reward could be a good adition for exploring planets and stars as well as the name is displayed on the stars YOU discover.
however i dont rly care if a system is not compleatily scanned. you know why?
because it gives ME the oportunity to not travel across entire galaxy to find an undiscovered planet/star

so i dont get what peoples are whining about.

but gg i like the idea of the extra reward
