Scanning Planets

[valiant432]

Greetings,
When you jump to a system's outer ring and begin your scans, would you then plot a series of jumps to each possible 'live' world, orbit once each. Or would you approach the outer most first in stealth mode?
Valiant out...

I would nuke them all from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

well that doesn't answer his question....

Let’s just bug out and call it even, man! What are we even talking about this for?

Do you have a photocopier/scanner large enough?

 

[Chock]

As you say, the other problem with scanning a planet, is that I've only got an A4 scanner; even scanning a page from a small book is quite hard to achieve when the lid won't close properly. I've doubts about whether it could actually take the weight of a planet let alone it's size. Although on the plus side, I do know it can find some things on planets really easily, for example, it often reports that it has 'acquired a TWAIN resource' so if I want to mine twain resources, I'm sorted.

My plan would be to jump into the system, do the initial surface scan/general details, and then it depends entirely on what that scan finds. If the system seems normal, then I'd just queue up a scanning tour through all planets one by one and go have a cup of tea or smth, and if there's something anomalous, then I'd handle that manually and directly.

When you can balance a tack hammer on your head, you will head off your foes with a balanced attack.
