When I look at my ship stats, I see this:
Planets Found 389

When I look at my planets tab, I see this:
Showing 1 to 10 of 364 planets

And about 10 of those are on alert.


I can see where the problem may be, that it's a record of total planets scanned EVER, but it's confusing. I'm trying to time a scan spree, and I seriously need to know how many planets I have currently scanned.

Actually it's not a total # of planets scanned ever. I think it only updates when a new planet is scanned by you and sets the number to the number that that planet is on your list. So if you scan say 500 then purge 100 and scan one more your total planets found number would be set to 401

the only place i ever bother to look is on my planet scan window (the window that pops up when you click Scan for new planets)...
This number shows the current number of planets that count against scan chance (so it doesn't count alerts)... it goes up for each one you find, and goes down for each one you purge

right now this number says 488 for me...
and i know there are only 5 active alerts right now in the legion, explaining why the total on my planets tab says 493,....

...............but my stats tab strangely says 497... can anyone figure out THAT discrepancy for me???

It shows what you're top # of planets scanned was , It just lets you know the most you ever scanned , it has nothing to do with what you have now.

nope.. because my last scan run i stopped right at 500

yeah my planets found is showing at 818 and only 758 planets in the planet tab and there is certainly not 60 planets alerted

did a lil trial and error doing planet management stuff...

the number on the stats tab updates only after you click "SCAN" regardless of whether you succeed or fail on that scan

that'll account for the discrepancy between the number on the stats tab and the number on the scan window itself

(as for the number on the planets tab... that's the number on the scan window plus current alerts from the last 12 hrs.. it will always be correct)

The Planets Found on my ship stats is from 2 scan runs ago , it never went down even after 2 scan runs with both having less planets found.

(hopefully your button isn't gray right now or you won't be able to do this...)

tap the blue scan button once...
then check your number on your ship stats again.... it should now match what's shown on the scan window

now purge a planet
the number in the scan window will go down by one, but the number in the ship stats stays the same

now tap the blue scan button once again...
then check your number on your ship stats again.... it should once again match what's shown on the scan window

These steps just worked for me...

Its gray now , but I will try this before my next scan run.
