System Survey

Anamori: Added information about power needed to perform Pre-Sensor Survey.

When a system is surveyed it will be saved to the empire's star map.

Once a system has been surveyed, it is forever marked as ''Surveyed'' on the star map for that empire.<br>
It is then possible to read any system's survey report whenever desired.

With this update, the system survey report also got a new window. The window displays a picture of the system and all the celestial orbits much like the one seen on a [[Navigator Station]].

Select a celestial body to see its information. Selecting the system will give a list of wormholes and their destinations.

==How to==
'''Pre-Sensor Survey:'''
# Go to or build a [[city]] in the desired system
# Build an [[Observatory]]
# Build an [[Airport Terminal]], a [[Military Weapon System]], or a [[Military Shield Generator]]
# Make sure that you city have power
# Wait about half an hour

'''Survey a System:'''
# Using a [[Spacecraft]] with sensors
# Travel to the desired system
#* By crew order
#*# Give the crew the "Solar System Survey Scan" order
#*# Wait for the crew to finish the survey
#* Manually
#*# <s>Get within sensor range of a celestial body</s>
#*# Man the [[Sensor Station]]
#*# Locate a celestial body on the sensor console and select it
#*# Bring up the scan detailed information for the celestial body

'''View a System Survey:'''
# Open the ''Locator'' window (F7)
# Go to the ''Star Map'' tab
# Click the "Explored/Scanned/Detected Space" button to refresh the map
# Right-click the desired system, then click "<system name> Survey Report..."

: Overhauled system survey scans, the ones that result from the mission order to survey scan a system.
:* Scan result is no longer sent to you via mail.
:* Survey scan still requires sensors but any amount of sensors is adequate.
:* Survey scan simply flags a system as scanned by the empire who owns the ship.
:* Scanned systems are accessed via the star map.
:* Scanned systems in the list of map systems are marked with a special icon so they stand out.
:* Right click a system on the map or in the list of map systems to view the scan results.
:* Scanned system data is accessible by everyone in your empire immediately.
:* Star map data must be refreshed to pick up freshly scanned solar systems.

[http://hazeron.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6970 '''Update 2014-07-08: System Scan Time''']
: System scan time should be influenced by sensor range.
:: System scan time is now determined by 3 factors:
::* Scanner range category (system, planetary, orbital, short)
::* Number of worlds
::* Rank of sensor operator.
:: Sensor operator periodically announces time remaining to finish survey scan.

[http://hazeron.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7789 '''Update 2015-06-26: Avatars Cannot Perform System Scan''']
: It is not possible for an [[avatar]] to scan a system such that it is considered "scanned" by their empire, without building a [[city]]. A city currently marks a system as scanned if it has sensors (airport or base or both) and an observatory.
:: Done.
::* A solar system becomes "scanned" by the ship's empire if an avatar operates a [[spacecraft]] sensor station and displays the detailed scan information for any one sun or world in the system.
::* A thought message is generated to confirm this has happened.
::* This token act symbolizes scanning each and every sun and world in a system, which would be tedious.
::* This requires the ship to have sensors.
::* This requires the ship to get within sensor range of a [[world]] or sun.
::* This requires the avatar to demonstrate they know how to operate a [[Sensor Station|sensor station]].
