Starmap Thread Info:
Exploring
- Type in stars/planets/moons you wish to visit. They will be revealed in the starmap.
- You will be notified if any anomalies are found or if your ship has gone M.I.A.
- EXPLORING ANOMALIES BELONG TO IC!!!
- You may also post of attempts to discover stars/search for/broadcast signals with telescopes and explorers.
- Finally, there is a list of each faction's known star systems below. You may freely exchange this with other factions at no cost (provided you met them).

Additional Exploration information:
Space remains fragmented into sectors.
- Each faction has starting sector of systems they are aware of.
- A star may belong to multiple faction's starting sector, with 2 factions being unaware of sharing it.
- Radiotelescopes may be used to search for stars, but you wont know in advance which sector it is from until visiting.
- Explorers may be assigned to search for new systems [i](5% chance per turn).
- You may share your knowledge of known stars (at no expense) with other factions after establishing contact.
- Your faction is aware of its starting systems + any system it searched or traded for.[/i]
Whenever a star is discovered, its assigned a code based on star's temperature.
Coldest - Y, T, L, M, K, G, F, A, B, O - Hottest
When your exploration vessel first arrives at an unnamed star, you may rename it to your liking.
When you colonize any planet, you may rename it to your liking.
When you conquer a planet, you may rename it to your liking.
Until explored, planets are only known by their class:
CLASS: (R,L,G)
Rocky - Supports surface structures and colonies by default. May have Atmosphere, Lithosphere and Hydrosphere.
Liquid - Does not support surface structures and colonies by default. May have Atmosphere and Hydrosphere.
Gaseous - Does not support surface structures and colonies. Only has Atmosphere (Or at least, that's all there is to know for sure).
