Codex Explained
18 Dec 2018Krash.Megiddo
The codex is grouped per sector, and the galaxy is divided in 42 sectors. It'll show you the objects (e.g. 'supergiant Type F star' or 'earth-like world' or 'water geyser') in the sector you are currently in, and there are three possible 'states'. Lets take a black hole as an example.1) Rumoured. This means noone has found a black hole yet in the sector, but FD told us there is at least one.
2) Reported. Some other player found a black hole in the sector, but you haven't. If you want to you can see where this other person found the first one, and go there yourself.
3) Confirmed. You have personally found a black hole in the sector (and that specific black hole may or may not have been discovered by someone else earlier, it is just the first black hole in the sector YOU found).
Now, if you 'confirm' an object that noone else had previously found there (so you find a black hole, and nobody else had found any black hole in the sector) not only does the status become 'confirmed' (because you found one) but your name is listed for all to see as the person who found the first black hole in the system.
