Agreed.
Also, when I find a planet that was already discovered... I didn't discover it. I just found it. The word "discover" is used throughout the game and its a bit annoying.
Also, in the System Map when you click on a planet and it shows info regarding the planet it says whether its been mapped or not. I originally assumed it meant "has it ever been mapped". It is confusing because everything else is a description of planet data, not the commander's personal accomplishments. For consistency sake on Greasetrap's ship it should say:
---------------------------------------------------
Planet First Discovered By: Kay Thaxby
Planet First Mapped by: Kay Thaxby
Discovered by Greasetrap: Yes (pending)
Mapped by Greasetrap: Yes (pending)
----------------------------------------------
(pending until I hand in the data to the cartographers)
