Sector Scans are the first step in discovering new locations. The process requires dedicated hyperspace sensor equipment and some time to complete. Once the scan finishes, additional star systems or POIs become visible around the player's current location on the [[Sector Map]]. | Sector Scans are the first step in discovering new locations.

This process can be triggered on the sector map by clicking the POI and is subsequently performed automatically as long as the player has a powered [[Super Computer]] onboard and remains in the same sector where the system was discovered. No scientists or crew assignments are required. After the local survey, the POI can be jumped to via FTL just like any other star system. | ||
Some of these newly discovered systems may contain [[Derelict Ship]]s. These often include unique loot items that can be recovered and analyzed at a [[Science Station]] for research purposes. | Some of these newly discovered systems may contain [[Derelict Ship]]s.
