Very annoyed. Took the trip to Bernard's loop and, as I guessed, it was pretty much entirely picked-over. I found 4 planets in 2 systems that were never registered but that was it. I was delighted to hit an untouched system on the way back though and did some short jumps from there and found two more. Nothing special but three whole unexplored systems. I got back and turned them in and--nothing. Didn't get credit for any of it.
Now, it's possible that someone else turned them in before I got back (a half hour later) but why then did the loose planets (discovered hundreds of lightyears away) not show up either. I find that to be too much of a coincidence to buy. I got screwed... LAME.
