If anyone was curious as to how many exploration points are required to explore high planet counts, the equation for exploration points required for any single given planet is roughly:
4166.7*e^(0.1823*X)
with `e` being a constant with value: 2.71828183
and `X` being the Xth planet you want to explore...
there is a link on the explore page that gives you the numbers up to 50 planets, but in case your curious what the next 50 are here they are...
enjoy... lol

99+ day(s) ago | Interesting, I`ve never bothered to try to figure it out, though I think I explored up to 80 planets once, just because. It certainly takes a while. |
EnderWiggin
99+ day(s) ago | SpaceCowboy the two formulas are actually practically the same. And thus the numbers I have posted are very accurate. I just explored my 68th planet, and the difference between both formulas and the actual number was less than a million. |

99+ day(s) ago | SpaceCowboy Formula is pretty good, good enough to use.
My formula is very similar.
Stephen Math does revolve around the number ( 1.2 or 120% ) for a few things. Apply that number to the research table, same math. |
SpaceCowboy
99+ day(s) ago | The actual formula is
5000*(1.2^(Current # Planets -1))
Not sure about the Stephen`s math comment... but my formula gives the correct values in the exploration table, also I can vouch for this formula up to 60th explored planet. I haven`t felt the need to explore for more than that yet.

99+ day(s) ago | i explored to 85 or so in the past as tax miner. my whole 90 mil income was on scout and negative around 40mil. around 90 turns a planets if i remember....something around that....lol |
Squaks
99+ day(s) ago | ouch thats gets to be rather rough, i know getting to 60 is pretty easy but 10 planets after that its almost 10x more lol |
EnderWiggin
99+ day(s) ago | *not that the values may be SLIGHTLY off (I blame stephen math of course...) for example:
According to him: 50 37,918,493
vs
According to me: 50 37,877,947 |
