Line 6:

Detailed information about discovered POIs is obtained through a '''Local Survey'''. This process is triggered by clicking the POI on the sector map and is performed automatically as long as the player has a powered [[Super Computer]] onboard and remains in the same sector. No scientists or crew assignments are needed. After the local survey, the POI becomes a fully accessible star system that can be jumped to via FTL.

Some newly discovered systems may contain [[Derelict Ship]]s, which ~~include unique loot recoverable~~ and ~~analyzable at~~ a [[Science Station]].

Some of these newly discovered systems may contain [[Derelict Ship]]s. These often include [[Research#Research Credit|Research Credit]], which can be recovered and fed into a [[Science Station]] as a resource for certain research projects.

== Required Equipment ==

* [[Hyperspace Sensor]] or [[Hyperspace Sensor LR]] (must be powered)

* At least one powered [[Super Computer]] for performing a Local Survey

== Performing a Sector Scan ==

# Install and power the required hyperspace sensors.

# While in a star system, click the '''Sector Scan''' button.

# Wait for the scan to complete; multiple sensors likely accelerate the process. Scan progress is displayed on the sector map.

# New systems or POIs appear on the sector map when the scan finishes.

# To perform a local survey, remain in the sector with a powered Super Computer and click the POI. The survey completes automatically.

Line 23:

== Notes ==

* Scans consume ship power and require time to complete.

* Multiple sensors likely reduce scanning time.

* Only one POI can be analyzed via Local Survey at a time.

* Introduced in [[Version History#Alpha 17|Alpha 17]].
