He said "I have been performing scans of all planets",  so yes I think it is safe to say he also scanned non-safe planets.
 
But even if this was only on "safe" planets, there is something fundamentally wrong with the game if someone puts down this much effort and is still not able to find a sustainable source of anything > T1 ore. And it literally means that any new player must join an existing org (who owns higher tier tiles) or be stuck as a T1 peasant for the remainder of the game.

NQ-Please ...
 
It would be nice to know when NQ will fix the bug with the blueprints breaking the controller (seat/cockpit/ECU). This bug is really an annoyance as it requires you to either craft/buy a new controller each time you pack up and spawn a ship or blueprint it without the controller and place it afterwards.
 
 

According to what we were able to figure out(may not be 100% true) :
 
The problem happens when a custom lua is added to the control unit.
Apparently NQ decided to save the lua with the control unit even when its put back on inv. I noticed this when I saw some debug messages I had created appear on a newly spawned seat.
 
So to save the custom lua, NQ is creating a different internal ID for each modified control unit.
Blueprints use the not modified hover seat. But once put in place it becomes something else and cannot be used in a BP.
 
I guess this is an iteration to be able to protect lua IP in the future.
But in the meanwhile its breaking the game for the most sensitive ppl, the new player.
 
As a quick workaround, i suggest NQ places bot sell orders for hover seat and ECU (and possible info button) for 1 quanta each.
Seeing new players finding that their only solution is to buy a ECU priced at 200k (by some unscrupulous player) is quite sad.
