Ancient race, waste?

Personally when I use it I justify it (if that is even necessary ??) As saying MM just named the trait poorly. Even our prmitive Earth tech can detect planets around other stars. We certainly would not send a colony ship into a black hole system. A race that knows what planets are around them does not take a great strech of the imagination.

Oh no, in SE4 when you can see a system is because you have been there at sometime in the past.
Otherwise you couldn't possible know the mineral yield of the planets, or their exact location, or the existance of asteroid fields, let alone other warp points and those pesky ruins.

From Earth today we see the stars, and those are market in the small quadrant map on the right of the UI.
