hmmm, interesting, send a scout to get the lay of the land (system) then follow up with a Science/Survey vessle to discover the 'meat' within the system. I like that idea. The communications lag is also a good idea but might be better suited in some kind of multiplayer game where different players play different ships and ie: a player piloting a scout ship would have to send a message to his 'lord' about his discoveries. then his display would be updated. very interesting...
