Why do some systems give a first discovered by for some stars/planets but not all

[AnnuverScotinExile]

its another bug to add to the list , there is a thread on it, make a ticket, and hope you get a reply in a month

At least 5 threads now, with this extra one. I did ask the mods to merge them several days ago. No sign of FD presence on any of the threads, and no one has reported that their tickets have been looked at.

Unless and until they (devs) reply there will be more. I tried to do a search to see if any other posts.

Update today to 1.1.05 has a reference to something that sounds a lot like the OP's issue. Please can you recheck the System Maps and see if you've now been given first discovered status.

"....- Fix a rare issue that was not always granting first discovery credit to every stellar body when selling exploration data for certain types of star system"

I'm now back from my long haul trip and starting to download the data to Universal Cartographics. I spread the downloads over a number of stations as I believe it helps with local rep building, so dumping ~20 systems worth of data per system.

First Discovery seems to be working in real time. So if I have a system's data displaying for 10,000 credits, when I sell it my balance might go up by 15,000 and then I get a pop-up window as part of the selling process (a bit like a teleprompter, one character per time), that I've made a further 5,000 bonus credits for being the first discoverer. BUT, the value of those further bonus credits is added to my balance when first selling the data, not when the bonus screen pop-ups.

Finally, flipping back to the Galaxy Map and then the System Map for the place I've made first discovery my commander name appears straight away, including for 'mixed' systems when I've only discovered some bodies.

All in all I'm very pleased. I'm selectively selling down one system's data at a time, rather than selling a page of 20 in one go. I'd imagine the "first discoverer" popup would then list all bodies sold on that page of 20 systems.
