I'm heading out for a long exploration trip and I'm wondering if they've fixed the scanner icons?
When I first started exploring they always seemed to be correct, but the last 2-3 times I'd find planets where the icons didn't match. Sometimes a planet that looked like it should be high metal content would be rocky or icy. Other times a planet that looked like it should be rocky or icy would be high metal content, ammonia world, or water world. This actually happened fairly often - at least once or twice an evening.
Generally, the errors showed up if the planets were in the near to middle orbit ranges, but the planets in the outer systems looked like icy or rocky planets and scanned as such.
I'm not sure about the gas giants as I didn't pay attention to the different classes.
