It is not so bad if you would want to be an amoeba collector.

SalmoneaWhen is some system and in eddb is no trafic report,no recorded bodies,that 100% mean no one been there yet?
This could mean somebody could be there,but without market connector?

At least from route plotters, I have experienced that you can't find unvisited system names.

Most likely it means that someone had been there and didn't honk the system. If that's the case then you will get first discovery credit when doing FSS/DSS work.
There is also a possibility that the system's existence gets acknowledged by EDDN, even if never visited, if the tool being used looks at the Plotting Route File (I forget what it's called). If that is the case the system name would be in the EDDB database with zero additional associated data such as coordinates or bodies AFAIK. Another possibility that would show similar symptoms is if the legacy format applied to that data. IE: back before the tools were really convenient and functional data had to be submitted manually and then verified by others.
I also saw a post (I feel it was like a week ago) where someone mentioned systems near the Bubble were showing up empty on the System map. This is also an indicator that you are the first to visit that system (and not a bug). For first timers (or old timers that came back after the implementation of the FSS., prior to which honking showed everything) it can be quite jarring to suddenly have empty systems when the honk says there are supposed to be 30+ bodies there. That's how you know you're the first

SakashiroIf you jump into a system, and the main star does not immediately show up on the scanner, you're the first to visit it. I noticed that last year when I took my first trip to Colonia.
True.
But you have to actively look out for your scanner, when you enter thy system.
If you don´t pay attention, it´s easy to miss...
the best way to check is;
>>> get in the game, open the galaxy map, and check the star for player name tags<<<
(of course, this only works, if you are / have been there)
Systems, listed in EDDB, but without Data can have multiple reasons.

Regardless, all that matter at this point is whether you get first discovery credit. If a tree falls in the woods and nobody hears it... so to speak

Do you know if the systems are prefabricated and it does not matter by who and when a system was first accessed the layout of stars, planets, belts and e.t.c. is going to be the same, or systems are generated on the first visit and system layout depends on the system generating scrip which takes in consideration cmdr, date, time available features in the sector and so on? Thanks

The galaxy generator basically uses a seed value. A system previously unvisited does not exist in the Server Database until someone arrives. At that point the generator calculates what is supposed to be there based on the seed value. Who, When, How, and Why don't matter.
Edit: to be clear, the generator (called the 'Stellar Forge') is actually on your computer. It is what does the system generation based on the seed. The Server just holds player data regarding what of that (because it also uses the SF to know what should be there) was scanned, by whom, etc...
