Not 30, but probably 10, because of the algorithm - shorts and 10 min videos have more chance to be seen and to be put forward, for some reason, this is why most people either make shorts or 10 min videos.
I remember stumbling into an undiscovered system a couple of years ago while flying my old pre-nerf jumpconda. I was just a tourist heading back from the Eagle Nebula, had no idea how to use the FSS, and ended up manually searching for the planets by flying around and looking to see which of the "stars" around me were moving when I moved. Took about three hours but it was worth it to see my name on the Galactic Map. Felt like an utter moron when I got back to Pleiades and was told I could have mapped it all in about 20 mins if I'd just pressed the correct button
You can also find semi-discovered systems like this. When you honk, if the message says something like "Bodies: 23" but you only see 3 in the panel/system map, the rest haven't been discovered.
The other giveaway will be in the FSS Scanner. As soon as you identify the planet, the bottom of the screen will show the name of the first explorer who discovered it. Your name will be on the planet if you sell the data before anyone else does. You also get your name on it if you were the first to map it with the detailed surface scanner, which is easier to do since many explorers skip the icy or rocky moons.
Been playing since almost the beginning and I noticed this years ago. Also you will find many systems with only the star scanned because the original ships only scanned the star and you had to fly to the planets to scan them. So if you find one with only the star showing, check. The planets may still be waiting to be discovered.
Not always though, I’m currently out in the black and find that even systems without anything in the radar but that contain more bodies are also already discovered
I bought and kitted-out my Anaconda for exploration entirely with Universal Cartographics payouts, and I don't think I ever thought about this. Like I recognized that nothing was showing up until I scanned, but I don't think I ever recognized the corollary. 😅
That's not entirely true, if a system has already been visited you can see that on the main star you've been to. On the other stuff I have to agree though, if you only see a star but don't get the voice message "System Scan Complete" the other bodies just haven't been FSS'd yet. I got into a lot of already discovered systems that just weren't scanned yet on my fast 5'000 Lightyears excursion to unlock Thruster Engineers.
Is this game worth getting into right now? Are there many random events while playing or is it mostly go from point A to B without interruption? I enjoy random encounters or seeing NPC traffic do things like trade, fight, etc with some meaning (not just random, but with a purpose, like faction vs faction, pirating, or whatever). I've also got a VR headset...considering using it to play, but not really sure if I should even try getting into Elite dangerous or not at this point.
There is a ton of things to do and will def be overwhelming at first. I think it would be worth it. play on pc and get into a clan or whatever they call them. ( haven't played in a few years) I might get back into soon tho.
@@canoodlingus6244 Thanks! Also, are there any co-op activities? Say if a friend and I want to play together, can we share progression or mission rewards or something? Or is it more of a solo experience?
@@slandshark Yes you can coop. There is 2 ways to do coop, you can either multicrew and have your friend join you on your ship (provided your ship has extra crew slots to fit them) and do missions together on one ship. The other way is to form a wing by inviting your friend into one. This way you can bring 2 ships instead of one.
@@greywhizzadventurer8535 Do you think it's a good idea to buy Odyssey right now or should I wait until I've made some progress in the game? I see it on sale right now for $10 on steam (deluxe edition).
Scanning the nav beacon identifies all the signal sources for you, which is helpful when you have an assassination mission target or you're looking for high grade emissions.
Short and to the point, lovely. Somebody else would have made a 30' video to tell the same stuff
Not 30, but probably 10, because of the algorithm - shorts and 10 min videos have more chance to be seen and to be put forward, for some reason, this is why most people either make shorts or 10 min videos.
@@HummingbirdSound I know about all that, but some would have made it 30 or even 40 no joke

I've been playing for 6 years and never noticed this, lol. Please make more elite dangerous content! :] You have a new subscriber. o7
Thank you very much. I am kind of all over the place on my channel.
Concise. Quality.
Thank you.
o7 Commander!
Hope to meet you one day out in the darkness.
Thank you, I hope so too.

I'd just point out the visual but in the end screen, somehow it shows 2024 instead of 3310.

Huh, never knew this was a thing

FSS = EPIC GAMEPLAY!!! LOL.....
That being said, I did make my first billion doing this

@@canoodlingus6244 Should be "Squadrons" although I'm not in one, just doesn't make sense to me to join one when I mostly mind my own business 😂

What is the purpose and or difference when simply "HONKING" a system vs assuming there is one, scanning the NAV beacon.
The nav beacon will give you station locations and other info that you won't get from just honking.
Scanning the nav beacon identifies all the signal sources for you, which is helpful when you have an assassination mission target or you're looking for high grade emissions.
Is it the Elite Observatory (Core) popup on the right side? o7
Yes it is.
