Mapping a planet with the DSS will permanently reveal any significant points of interest on its surface, including any [[Settlement]]s, [[Shipwreck]]s, [[Guardian]] sites, and [[Thargoid]] sites. These locations will be highlighted with markers that can be selected for planetary landings. Probes can also be fired at planetary ring systems orbiting an object to highlight any resource-rich areas. No matter the size of the rings, mapping a ring only requires a single probe, but complex systems with a gap and B... C... rings require one probe per ring division. | Mapping a planet with the DSS will permanently reveal any significant points of interest on its surface, including any [[Settlement]]s, [[Shipwreck]]s, [[Guardian]] sites, and [[Thargoid]] sites.

The first pilot to fully map an object and submit the data to [[Universal Cartographics]] will be given "First Mapped By" credit, which is visible when selecting that object in the [[System Map]].<ref>https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/content-recap-beyond-chapter-four-livestream-mining-and-squadrons.454587/</ref> | The first pilot to fully map an object and submit the data to [[Universal Cartographics]] will be given "First Mapped By" credit, which is visible when selecting that object in the [[System Map]].<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/content-recap-beyond-chapter-four-livestream-mining-and-squadrons.454587/ Content Recap: Beyond - Chapter Four Livestream] - Mining and Squadrons - Frontier Forums - 1 Nov 2018</ref> | ||
