When this patch hits, I'll be able to make a killing off this landable, earth-like black hole I found.

Are you sure?

Unsold data from previous scans is unaffected by this change.

I really do not care about the money. It's the experience that is lacking. Better mechanics please. More credits won't hide the fact.

Mixed feelings. Exploration is/was ridiculously impractical as a career from a money making point of view, but I was looking forward to someday getting elite exploration the hard way.

At least the passenger missions could be avoided.

Same.

You Explorers are never happy are you? FD throw money at you and you're still moaning! What do you guys want??!? Exploration tools and content or something??! Be happy with the scraps you're given!!!

(yeah I'm being sarcastic) [praise]

Yup... Now you can make even more money viewing the beige. Don't fix it, just throw more useless credits at it.

Better payout is good, but we need more fleshed out mechanics too....

Hm, does that mean Resource Belt Clusters will now pay 5.12x 0 Cr + 5.12x 0 Cr Bonus Reward for 1st Discovery?

If anything, this might come in handy should I need Exploration Data for BGS Input purposes during an Expansion Phase I guess, making it more feasible in terms of time/Credits earned.
Other than that, I'd welcome actual content more above anything (surprises of any type - anything that breaks the "more of the same" procedural nothingness in 400 Billion iterations).
...nice scenic views aside, I still love finding a nice spot when I have the chance to make a trip.

Agreed. Completely agreed.

Yep, some actual game mechanics would be nice...(I know you were being sarcastic )

The sad thing is that I've done so much exploration already, and since the beige-ing of the galaxy, that I just can't bring myself to do it anymore. I've not been more than a couple thousand light years out of the bubble for months now. They finally make exploration pay decently right when I'm all burned out on the shallow mechanics, lol! [cry]

Are you sure?

Sir.

Did you not read what I posted?

 

[cyberchild]

To explore now means the benefit of a bigger bank balance...whoohoo! But not a reason to actually, ya know like, explore.

My alt account explorer is waiting for 2.3 to go live.
