Something I've been wondering about lately is how systems show as fully discovered in when I fly in to them even when I haven't been there before. I try to scan it and it shows 100% and returns all information on it immediately. Ive been using Discovery to keep track of systems and I notice that it will not resolve the system as scanned at all unless I map those planets in a system that is already discovered, but the next system also already fully mapped and discovered it will resolve them and show fully scanned.
here's what I mean, I fly in to a system I have never visited before and FSS it comes back 100% but unmapped. I cannot scan the planets in FSS now because they're all resolved. EDdiscovery says x visits, 0 scans, Xbodies in system. yet if I fiddle with it a second, zoom in and out with the scanner it suddenly says I've got x scans on x bodies. Shouldn't the systems I have not visited still show as undiscovered to me? some do, and some do not, why is this variable not constant across all systems I have not visited, allowing me to still scan said planets in FSS there by showing I have fully scanned the system. Shouldn't that be a constant? If I have not been there, I have not discovered it. There fore I should have to scan it to discover it, that includes the full zoom in and resolve planets. Where some systems will be undiscovered and I do get to scan them, it makes no sense for some to be 100% resolved instantly and some not.
Even when others have mapped the planet I still have to map the planet to get the information. It should be the same when I do a full system scan.
to clarify I'm not refering to the first discovered element, bonus or experience related to that, only to the fact that it should show a consistency of if I haven't been to the system I haven't discovered it regardless of whether it is already mapped and discovered by others.
