I was chatting with lajret and realised that players who can leave their computers on overnight to run long exploration missions are unfairly advantaged. Perhaps allowing accounts to designate an avatar as 'online' for the purpose of exploration would act as a compromise? Since the restriction of exploration to online avatars is fairly agreeable in-context and banning AFK exploration seems both unenforceable and impractical. The additional benefits would be user energy and server bandwidth savings, and cons being that it encourages AFK exploration.
