Exploration points

Post by Sorkvild » Sat, 4. Dec 21, 21:32

What determines amounts of exploration points a player gets during gameplay? Is there a price list regarding discoveries? Is it normal that during challenging sandbox after one hour of flight I have 250k of exploration points?

At the start you will get a lot of points since you uncover new systems and new entries in encyclopaedia. You will note though that this wont be like that for too long and that 250k points is not that much really. :)

Your discovery points come from many different sources. Some of them are a fixed amount per game, and others are more random.

unlocking anything in the encyclopedia (ware/ship info, etc), finding new sectors/races, scanning asteroids

you will also get points for all the things you find via the LFL, these are always available to find

So that is how it works. What about "discovery information" reward? What is this, a floating ware of some sort, perhaps an abandoned ship? Is discovery information useful to me if I don't have the lfl yet?

The discovery information just gives you a sector of one of the current discovery items which you then find with your LFL

Discoveries and Special Discoveries also respawn over time in new random locations.
Discovery: 10k points (instant)
Special Discovery: 100k points (you have to turn these in as they go in your cargo - vol. of 3 needed per).
