Where are the Comets, Moons, Artificial Structures Satellites etc?

We were told they were in but just visible yet. Are they planned to be in any further updates?

I'm hoping Exploration is their next area of focus. Its missing so much. It really needs more love.

There is a discussion about it here https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=151613

Devs don't really visit that sub forum so contribute your ideas there.

On a side note - I thought maybe they could add icons into the hud for signal sources and objects that would make it easier to ID. Like for "USS" they should have a question mark etc.

Many of us are waiting for the same things to bring the universe to life.

Apparently it'll all be added in due time.

It would actually be neat to scan comets and such as an explorer and get to have your name literally flying around the galaxy as the first discoverer, as well as a monetary reward of course.

Same here, would love to see the galaxy from this perspective include missing object types. I think a few of the 'dangerous' ones like Pulsars, Supernovae are also missing (assuming there are some of these in our galaxy somewhere).

Expect this might not be a high priority in the larger scheme of things.

I made a post in the suggestion thread recently that ought to include a 100% scan bonus - an extra reward for a 100% system scan such that "stellar cartographics" can have a 'complete' picture. This way, pilots don't always have to pick and choose the most valuable planets and ignore the rest.

I hope 1.4 is based around polishing and fixing everything we have now. I think piracy needs the most work as it is an utter disaster now, and exploration definitely comes second.

FD has done quite a good job with bounty-hunting, making it almost perfect in 1.3, mining is now viable and fun IMO, and there's a new thing for roleplayers (which needs work). Now let's make piracy viable! Transports able to carry hundreds of tonnes only carrying 20-40t, the inablity to actually steal cargo with some assuredness, the inability to declare piracy to NPCs, the bad Hatch Breakers, the 20t of strewn cargo per instance...

Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, your my only hope.

This topic 1000 times over. Can't wait to be able to find goodies out there in the black. I imagine the closer we get to the planet landing expansion the more of this stuff we'll see.

I asked about Comets in the AMA but no dice on an answer
They were listed in the pre 1.1 list of first discoveries, so the Stellar forge has assigned them to systems, we just cannot find or see them, though the Advance distocer scanner ping of them has been noted.
