A new commander in Elite Dangerous shared their experience with the exobiology gameplay loop, highlighting some confusion. After traveling 2,500 light years to collect samples from newly discovered Stratum Tectonica planets, they earned a reward for being the first to survey and land on a planet. However, upon returning to the research station, they were unable to submit their samples or see them cataloged in the in-game encyclopedia. This situation reveals a learning curve and some opacity in the exobiology.
