Hi All, Fregates are inexpensive and are good for exploring new solar systems. What about the scout order? Means, a fregate gets the order of scouting the unknown sectors on his own. Especially for larger universes, this gets useful. Just park a fregate somewhere and if an unknown system is detected, the ships starts. A new module in the tech tree with that feature is another option. I am tending to forget my fregates on a boring system and they are sleeping until I set the course to another unknown one. Maybe you had the same experience. Br, Björn
