Another tip when mapping planets if to fire the probe to the back side(s) first, since it has the longest travel time, horizon probes next, and the probe straight ahead last, as it has the shortest travel time.

[Jenna_Talia]

A good tip is to scan gas giants first in FSS, most objects tend to orbit around gas giants, and in my experience trying to click a target area of another body just doesn't work until the parent gas giant is scanned.

[amack]

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this but a good tip as well as moving away from the star climb or descend out of the orbital plane this will ensure that no bodies are obscured by the star.

[ddviper]

Dude, you just made my playing experience 5x better with letting us know about “target next system in route” omg lol

[Lyraine]

Explorer here
I spent hundreds of hours exploring and while I didn't learn anything new except how useful can Orrery view actually be. I used it ocasionally to look how a system looks like but I never thought of zooming in on a planet there to get an idea how big the star appears, how close is it to another moon etc.

So big thanks!

[mrexists]

5:38 that is a water world! you can tell by the markings, the 2 rows of 3 arrows. those markings are unique for each body, and they match to the ones that orbit around your retical when you are looking near a body and that one is without a doubt a water world.
though as you can see the marking is bugged, which can be fixed by sliding far enough away for the markings to disappear then slide back

[CollinBaillie]

That target next system in route is a neat tip. Thanks.

[Robert-rtho]

15:30 if you can’t or don’t want to bind it you can scroll to the bottom of the targets list the next stop in your route is there

I'm almost to Beagle Point. I pretty much knew everything in this informative video, but all the stuff I already knew, I probably learned from other DTEA videos.

[englishlies]

You had 2 or 3 tips there I did not know and I do need them . Thanks for sharing, BTW thanks for taking the time to make, edit, and the hours needed to make this and all the other videos.!!!

[lowgizzle]

Dropping knowledge! Keep the exploration videos coming, love them!

[siarlp]

Im almost finished my explorerconda build based on a previous video, with all the engineering it took a while. Thinking I'll head to beagle point finding stuff on the way so this video was quite helpful, especially the mouse usage to speed up the scanning, that's a life saver!

[DowntoEarthAstronomy]

Did you know I started a new channel all about Space, Astronomy and Astrophotography?

[STNeish]

As a point of interest, when you're getting some distance from the star, it's best to fly UP relative to the plane of the orbits, so that there's less chance something will still be obscured by the star.

[Kellett]

I got accidentally left in Colonia by my carrier taxi that was 5000ly away by the time I realized what happened. Luckily I was in my phantom and Only had to jump 88 times to catch up. Of those 88 jumps, 12 of them were systems that no one had scanned before.

[CMDR_Verm]

Many thanks for this. I was not aware of the terraforming bonus or where to look, nor was I aware of the ''trick'' with the ringed planets which was really becoming a pain. Cheers!

[BRBMrSoul]

Lots of good tips here, done some light exploring towards witchhead(guess more of a road trip but still lol) think kit out conda this weekend and use some of these tips for a cool trip, find me some life on…we’ll I dunno yet lol

[GokouZWAR]

High metal content worlds even non-terraformables will still net you 150, 000 or so per planet. Def worth scanning. The terraformable ones are a def go, but the HMC worlds are worth searching as well. The only ones that are pointless are the RICE planets (Rock, rocky ice, ice planets). Skip all those. ED Scout is also a good thing to have along so you can see the true value of the planets before you go to them. I wish you had made mention of that.

[chriscarr]

middle mouse click shows the rear of a planet in the surface scanner, go out till it says missed, then come back in till it clears and fire.

[thebagfather]

great vid just had a go your way and found a lot more stuff cheers chap o7
