Considering the time they take to find, the payout for discovering earth-like planets is pathetic, we should get several million at least for how rare and valuable they are.
Is this just discovering, or full in-depth detailed scans you're doing?
I'd expect the latter to pay far more, as you coming back with immediately usable data, rather than just your name stamped on a set of coordinates...
Finding my first earth like was great - no lights on the dark side though !
I should jolly-well hope not too, being a hitherto undiscovered world!!
Would be a bit silly if you've only just found it, yet there are settlements already there... unless you've just ignorantly wandered up to the Thargoid homeworld and probed them - In which case, thanks for starting the war!!
i have flown around for about 3 hours, lost my 1000 credits in fines and not a clue what to do really.
Start behaving yourself, perhaps?
Nah, in all seriousness, it happens to a lot of us. Part of the learning curve.
Generally you only make that mistake once.
I notice now that on approach to stations, I get a warning that I'm 'SPEEDING'... Wonder when the SpaceGATSO will start flashing me!!
If you've lost everything, your two basic options are to try and earn cash back with some missions, or to restart/self-destruct and begin again with a fresh ship and 1000Cr.
I advocate spending time just messing around in your Sidewinder, seeing what things do and how it all works, because if you stuff it up royally you can still restart right back where you were with what you initially had and not really lose anything.
It's when you get to spend hours making six million credits, but then lose it all in ship replacement fees of 800,000Cr a go, because you're tired and keep making stupid mistakes!
