Simple strategy question, i.e. how do you start

[Hippocrates]

Hi Jeku,

Manually exploring a sector can be annoying. Thankfully, you can give ships a command to automate the process. I *think* it's under the "additional commands" button on the ship orders, and labeled as "survey sector." Additionally, you can use the shortcut key "/" to give the same command. Your ship will now go off and explore on its own until no red hexes remain.

Just be advised; you'll have to cancel the order if something comes up and you need to move your ship elsewhere. If not, it will happily finish exploring all the red sectors before carrying out any new orders.
