I played NMS in 2D a long long time ago and one thing I particularly enjoyed doing was flying around a planet, just at kind of casual speed, pinging for locations and then visiting them. 
I've now reinstalled NMS and am playing it in VR but that doesn't work anymore, I can fly for 25-30 minutes pinging and never see anything and if I do find something I was basically right on top of it. What gives? How are you meant to explore a planet now? It's like the ping only has 200m range or something while the visual extends much much further than that.
