Unusally large first discovery payout

[MadMark]

I have reported this as a possible bug but today after returning from a few days at my Earth-like hunting grounds some of my first discoveries rewarded 600.000 credits for each planet discovered!
1 system alone gave out 3 million credits!
A Black hole rewarded 55000 but a Water -World in the same system pays out 670000!

Not a bug, payouts for high metal content, water and habitable worlds increased big time in the latest update. Enjoy

Normal for post 2.3.

Payouts were drastically increased for certain star and body types.

See this thread for some really big payouts...

Thanks you for that info.
Guess I won't be turning my nose up at Water-Worlds at +100.000ls anymore then!
